Abstract: An vehicle lamp assembling apparatus including a jig which supports a lamp component, an apparatus main body having disposed thereon positioning and fastening mechanisms (plungers and engagement holes) for positioning and fastening the jig to the apparatus main body. Some equipment (contact units) is disposed on the apparatus main body, and/or on the jig, for carrying out a predetermined processing, such as working or inspection, on the lamp component supported by the jig. Further, a control part is disposed on the apparatus main body, for drive control of the equipment. An ID plate that stores processing information, such as driving procedures and driving amount of the equipment, is disposed on the jig, whereas a non-contact memory reader is disposed on the apparatus main body so as to oppose the ID plate when the jig is fastened to the apparatus main body. The control part drives the equipment based on the processing information read from the ID plate via the memory reader.
