Workpiece holding device

Abstract

Provided is a workpiece holding device capable of holding a workpiece with a sufficient adhesive force and separating the held workpiece without applying a load to it. The workpiece holding device using an adhesive holding material that is self-adhesive includes: a flexible strip-like base material including an adhesive holding part to which the adhesive holding material is attached; a movement roller including a roll surface; and a load receiving plate that supports from below at least a portion of the strip-like base material that holds a workpiece on the adhesive holding part, in which the strip-like base material is wound around the roll surface of the movement roller with the adhesive holding part facing outward, (I) the adhesive holding part of the strip-like base material is made to be an adhesive holding surface that is flat so as to enable the workpiece to be held, (II) the adhesive holding part of the strip-like base material is curved along the roll surface of the movement roller so as to enable the workpiece to be peeled off, and when the workpiece is held on the adhesive holding surface, bending of the strip-like base material due to a weight of the workpiece can be prevented by means of the load receiving plate.
