Method and apparatus for manipulating film

摘要

In releasing a film from stacked films and transporting it to a predetermined position, film suction devices hold the film at two opposite peripheral portions. The suction devices are then lifted together with the film so that the lifted portions approach a center of the film. Ends of the lifted portions is grasped by finger portions while the other films are pressured by a pressing mechanism. The film is further lifted to be released from the other films. The film is then transported and accurately put on a predetermined portion.
