性の向上を実現できる。According to the paired work assembling method of claim (1), the number of steps can be reduced as compared with the conventional assembling method. Particularly, in the step of taking out the pair of workpieces from the die of the molding machine to the assembly surface of the workpiece mount, the vertical movement of the first workpiece chuck can be omitted. Moreover, the work is assembled by covering one work transferred to the first work chuck and placed on the assembly surface of the work mount with the other work remaining on the first work chuck. Therefore, it is possible to omit the conventional troublesome process of vertically moving and horizontally moving the work assembly chuck. Therefore, the work assembling cycle time can be greatly reduced, and the productivity can be improved.

きる等の効果を奏する。Further, in the paired work assembly device of claim (2),
By moving the first work chuck back and forth from the starting end retracted position to the end chucking position by the paired work take-out mechanism, the paired work can be taken out of the mold of the molding machine. No mechanism is required, the structure is simplified accordingly, and the number of parts can be reduced. Moreover, one work transfer mechanism for transferring the paired work held by the first work chuck to the second work chuck and one work transferred to the second work chuck are mounted on the mounting surface of the work mount. Using a simple mechanism such as one work placing mechanism to place the other work remaining on the first work chuck and one work assembling mechanism that assembles the other work remaining on the first work chuck to the pair of workpieces in a short time. Therefore, the work assembling chuck, which has a complicated structure and takes a long time to operate as in the conventional case, can be eliminated. Therefore, the structure can be simplified and the number of parts can be reduced, and a low-cost device can be provided. Moreover, by omitting useless operations, the assembly cycle time can be greatly shortened, and the productivity can be improved.
