Abstract

A fixed material transportation apparatus having a reciprocating stage, plural sucking holes, a decompression chamber connecting to the plural sucking holes, and a sucking device sucking air in the decompression chamber set at a discharging side of the fixed material. The fixed material is fed on the fixed material transportation surface of the sucking device by the delivering device, and is stuck on the fixed material transportation surface through the sucking holes by the sucking device. The fixed material is transported gradually to a downstream side from an upstream side by the delivering device on the fixed material transportation surface. The fixed material then separates from a surface of the fixed material transportation surface and rises slightly by blowing air from the sucking holes so as to move to discharging direction, that is, the downstream side.
