Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nut supply system capable of smoothly and efficiently supplying nuts without causing the clogging of nuts.SOLUTION: An attitude aligning device 2 of a nut supply system 1 includes sliding container parts 10, advancing/retreating members 11, and advancing/retreating drive means. A nut sitting surface and an insertion pin 19 inserted into a screw hole of a nut N are provided to an upper end of the advancing/retreating member 11. Until the nut N on the nut sitting surface is detected by a nut detection means, the advancing/retreating motion of the advancing/retreating member 11 is repeated, and when the nut detection means detects the nut N, the advancing/retreating member 11 is extended to raise the nut N to the upper side of the sliding container section 10. The nut supply system further includes a transfer device 3 for transferring the raised nut N from the attitude aligning device 2 toward a supplying/placing section 5. The transfer device 3 holds the nut N at the raised position by a nut holding means 23, and separates and transfers the nut N from the insertion pin 19.
