An automatic substrate conveying apparatus for conveying, positioning and delivering a substrate (1), for example for mounting electronic parts and the like on the substrate. A pusher (34) and a pin (32) are provided on an arm (23) capable of reciprocating along a guide (7) for horizontally guiding the substrate (1) and elevationally moving up and down perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. The substrate (1) is conveyed along the guide (7) with the pusher (34) and the pin (32) by inserting the pin (32) into the reference hole (4) of the substrate en route. It can cope with variations in the position of the reference hole on the substrate due to inversion of the substrate and variations in the length of the substrate without any adjustment, and thus can continuously produce. Dispositif automatique de transport de substrat servant a transporter, positionner et fournir un substrat (1), par exemple pour le montage de composants electroniques et analogues sur le substrat. Un poussoir (34) et une broche (32) sont prevus sur un bras (23) pouvant effectuer un mouvement de va-et-vient le long d'un guide (7) de maniere a guider horizontalement le substrat (1) et a se deplacer vers le haut et vers le bas perpendiculairement a la surface du substrat. Le substrat (1) est transporte le long du guide (7) avec le poussoir (34) et la broche (32) en inserant la broche (32) dans le trou de reference (4) du substrat en route. Le dispositif peut accepter des variations dans la position du trou de reference sur le substrat provoquees par le renversement du substrat ainsi que des variations de la longueur du substrat sans aucun reglage, assurant ainsi une production continue.
