PURPOSE:To make a conveyor easily adaptable to working positions, etc. under different conditions by mounting individually and freely movably plural moving bodies to a guide body extending in parallel with a conveying direction for a blank material and providing a suction device equipped to an arm attached freely vertically movable to each moving body. CONSTITUTION:A guide body 13 is extended in the conveying direction for a blank material of a press working line, and plural servocontrol arem units 15 are mounted individually and freely movably thereto. The 1st actuator 29 and the 2nd actuator 41 are provided to each unit 15 and a suction device 49 for attracting the blank material is provided to the arm 47 extending from each unit. When the actuator 29 is actuated, a pinion 26 is turned by an output gear 33, and a moving body 21 moves back and forth along a guide 17. When the actuator 41 is actuated, the body 21 is vertically moved via a lifting body 37 by a pinion attached to an output shaft 43. The easy conveyance of the blank material from an optional position of a press machine to the other position is made possible by operating and controlling the devices 29, 41 and 49 by a computer.
