The present invention provides a workpiece-transfer device that has functions for both loading and unloading workpieces, without requiring a workpiece-storage device to enable a function for replacing material and product workpieces with each other, and that requires only a simple configuration and low costs. A workpiece-transfer device loads a material workpiece W1 in a workpiece-machining device 1 and unloads a product workpiece W2 from the workpiece-machining device 1. A movement means with a rectangular coordinate system 30 is provided to move a traveling body 27 in a first direction along the direction in which the workpiece-machining device 1 and a workpiece-storage device 2 stand in a line (direction X) as well as in a second horizontal direction orthogonal to the first direction (direction Y). The traveling body 27 includes a gripping means 28 for gripping a material or product workpiece W1 and W2.

The invention claimed is: 1. A machine, comprising: (i) a workpiece-machining device for machining a material workpiece into a machined product workpiece, comprising: a machining section; a table located in the machining section; and a workpiece-feeding device for feeding the material workpiece from the table to the machining section and for ejecting the machined product workpiece from the machining section to the table; and (ii) a workpiece-storage device, comprising: a product-housing section for stacking the machined product workpiece; a material-housing section for stacking the material workpiece; a traveling body for traveling among the product-housing section, the material-housing section and the table; a gripping means provided on the traveling body for gripping the material workpiece and the machined product workpiece, wherein the gripping means loads or unloads the material workpiece and the machined product workpiece on or from the table of the workpiece-machining device; and a rectangular coordinate movement means for moving the traveling body among the product-housing section, the material-housing section and the table, in a first horizontal direction in which the workpiece-machining device and the workpiece-storage device are located in a line, and in a second horizontal direction orthogonal to the first horizontal direction, wherein the traveling body is moved simultaneously in the first and second directions. 2. A machine according to claim 1, wherein the workpiece-feeding device comprises a rail provided along the second horizontal direction, a carriage running on the rail, and a cross slide provided on the carriage such that the carriage is moved in the first horizontal direction. 3. A machine according to claim 1, wherein the workpiece-storage device further comprises a skeleton-housing section for stacking a skeleton after the machining. 4. A machine according to claim 3, wherein the skeleton-housing section is located in the second horizontal direction. 5. A machine according to claim 1, wherein the workpiece-storage device is located at the side of the workpiece-machining device. 6. A machine according to claim 1, wherein the workpiece-storage device is located at the side of the workpiece-machining device with an interval. 7. A machine including a workpiece-transfer device for transferring a material workpiece and a machined product workpiece between a workpiece-machining device and a workpiece-storage device, the workpiece-transfer device loading the material workpiece on the workpiece-machining device and unloading the machined product workpiece from the workpiece-machining device, comprising: a traveling body; a gripping means provided on the traveling body for gripping the material workpiece and the machined product workpiece; and a rectangular coordinate movement means for moving the traveling body in a first horizontal direction in which the workpiece-machining device and the workpiece-storage device are located in a line, and in a second horizontal direction orthogonal to the first horizontal direction, wherein the traveling body can be moved simultaneously in the first and second directions; wherein said workpiece-storage device is provided with a product-housing section for stacking the machined product workpiece and a material-housing section for stacking the material workpiece, the product-housing section being located parallel to the material-housing section, wherein both of the product-housing section and the material-housing section are arranged in the second horizontal direction, wherein said traveling body is moved simultaneously and above the product-housing section and the material-housing section on the workpiece-storage device, wherein the workpiece-machining device comprises a machining section, a table located in a machining section and a workpiece-feeding device for feeding a workpiece from the table to the machining section, wherein the traveling body travels among the product-housing section, the material-housing section and the table, wherein the workpiece-feeding device feeds the material workpiece from the table to the machining section and ejects the machined product workpiece from the machine section to the table, wherein the workpiece-transfer device loads or unloads the workpiece on or from the table of the workpiece-machining device. 8. A machine including a workpiece-transfer device as in claim 7, wherein the product and material-housing sections have a total length in the second horizontal direction not exceeding that of the said workpiece-machining device in the second horizontal direction. 9. A machine including a workpiece-transfer device as in claim 7, wherein the rectangular coordinate movement means moves said traveling body to said product and material-housing sections so that said traveling body can be moved to position and load a material workpiece gripped by the gripping means of said traveling body, relative to a positioning member of said workpiece-machining device. 10. A machine including a workpiece-transfer device as in claim 7, wherein said workpiece-storage device includes a skeleton-housing section in parallel with said second direction and on a side of the material-housing section opposed to said product-housing section. 11. A machine according to claim 7, wherein the workpiece-feeding device comprises a rail provided along the second horizontal direction, a carriage running on the rail, and a cross slide provided on the carriage such that the carriage is moved in the first horizontal direction. 12. A machine according to claim 7, wherein the workpiece-storage device is located at the side of the workpiece-machining device. 13. A machine according to claim 7, wherein the workpiece-storage device is located at the side of the workpiece-machining device with an interval.
