To provide a device for conveying a honeycomb structural body which can easily perform accurate alignment between the through hole of the honeycomb structural body and the through hole of a sealing mask, and to provide a method for sealing the honeycomb structural body and a method for producing the honeycomb structural body.
In the conveyance device 400 for a honeycomb structural body, the image of an end face of a honeycomb structural body 70 is captured by a camera 90; an initial rotation angle around the vertical axis of the honeycomb structural body 70 at a reference position where the image is captured, is recognized on the basis of the image; an arm swing unit 40 is driven to convey the honeycomb structural body 100 from the reference position to the position above a sealing mask 170; a rotation angle necessary to obtain a desired final rotation angle of the honeycomb structural body 100 at the position above the sealing mask 170 is acquired on the basis of the initial rotation angle recognized at the reference position and the rotation angle around the vertical axis of the honeycomb structural body caused by the driving of the arm swing unit 40 from the reference position to the position above the sealing mask; and the honeycomb structural body 70 is rotated on the basis of the necessary rotation angle.
