BRAKING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a braking device and method capable of suppressing a false operation to conduct an automation by accurately detecting the breaking of a substrate. SOLUTION: The braking device 10 letting a blade 52 hit and contact a substrate 1 with a breaking-proposed-line 2 formed to apply a bending stress to break the substrate 1 includes: a load applying part 62 for applying the load to the blade 52; a load measuring part 64 measuring the resultant force F1-F2 of a load F1 applied to the blade 52 by the load applying part 62 and a load F2 applied to the blade 52 by the substrate 1; and a breaking detection unit 70 for detecting the breaking of the substrate 1 by the measurement value of the load measuring part 64.
