Transfer apparatus

A transfer method using a transfer apparatus,

• the transfer apparatus comprising:
• an arm including a rotation fulcrum portion;
• first and second grip portions connected to the rotation fulcrum portion and turnable around the rotation fulcrum portion;
• and
• an actuator which holds the first and second grip portions in a standby position and turns the first and second grip portions between the standby position and an inclined position which is inclined with respect to the standby position,
• the transfer method comprising:
• gripping a first surface of a grip target object mounted on a mounting surface by the first grip portion;
• gripping a second surface crossing the first surface of the grip target object by the second grip portion;
• lifting the arm together with the first and second grip portions and the actuator, to float the grip target object from the mounting surface;
• turning the first and second grip portions from the standby position to the inclined position by the actuator, to tilt the grip target object with respect to the mounting surface and bring the grip target object into contact with the mounting surface:
• maintaining the first and second grip portions in the inclined position by the actuator;
• and
• moving the arm together with the first and second grip portions and the actuator, to drag the grip target object on the mounting surface.
