To provide a work position controlling device and a work supply system equipped therewith, where such a phenomenon as works delivered by transport routes congest, cause the front and back thereof to be reversed, and overlap each other is eliminated, thereby allowing robot picking to be implemented in a short time.SOLUTION: A work position controlling device 1 includes: a plate 2 that supports supplied multiple works; support legs 7a to 7c that support the bottom face of the plate 2; multiple oscillation actuators 4a to 4c that are fixedly provided on an installation surface 3 under the support legs 7a to 7c and apply vertical oscillation independently to each of the support legs 7a to 7c and the plate 2 through driving shafts 5a to 5c facing upward; an actuator controlling unit that controls the oscillation actuators 4a to 4c; and floating joints 6a to 6c between the driving shafts 5a to 5c of the oscillation actuators 4a to 4c and the support legs 7a to 7c, respectively.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】搬送路によって運搬されたワークが密集して、表裏反転したり重なり合ったりする現象を解消することでロボットによるピッキングを短時間で実行するためのワーク姿勢制御装置とそれを備えたワーク供給システムを提供する。【解決手段】ワーク姿勢制御装置１は、供給された複数のワークを支持するプレート２と、このプレート２の下面を支える支持脚７ａ－７ｃと、この支持脚７ａ－７ｃの下方の設置面３に固定配置され、上方に向けた駆動シャフト５ａ－５ｃを介して支持脚７ａ－７ｃ及びプレート２に上下振動をそれぞれ独立して印加する複数基の振動アクチュエータ４ａ－４ｃと、この振動アクチュエータ４ａ－４ｃを制御するアクチュエータ制御部と、を有し、振動アクチュエータ４ａ－４ｃの駆動シャフト５ａ－５ｃと支持脚７ａ－７ｃの間にそれぞれフローティングジョイント６ａ－６ｃを備えている。【選択図】図１
