An apparatus (174) for holding a printed wiring board (24), including a holding table (210) which has a flat upper surface (244) and negative-pressure-supply holes (224) each of which has an opening in the upper surface, a holding member (212) which is attachable to the holding table such that a lower end surface (329) of the holding member is held in close contact with the upper surface that surrounds the opening of one negative-pressure-supply hole, the holding member having a negative-pressure passage (326) which connects between the lower end surface and an upper end surface (288) thereof, the holding member supporting, at the upper end surface, the printed wiring board, and applying a negative pressure supplied from the negative-pressure-supply hole via the negative-pressure passage, to the board and thereby holding the board, and opening and closing valves (260) which are associated with the negative-pressure-supply holes, respectively, each of the opening and closing valves closing a corresponding one of the negative-pressure-supply holes in a state in which the holding member is not attached to the upper surface of the holding table, and opening the corresponding hole, in a state in which the holding member is attached to the upper surface that surrounds the opening of the corresponding hole, so that the corresponding hole is communicated with the negative-pressure passage of the holding member. <IMAGE> |
