PURPOSE:To facilitate clamping work of a carrier bar by transferring a plate work such as a print substrate in an erect posture orthogonal to the transport direction, and then laterally feeding the work to a jig fixing position so that a plurality of works are arranged on the same level. CONSTITUTION:When a work W is transported in an erect state to an outlet 16, with the lower edge of the work W inserted in a groove 12 of a tray 4 on a conveyer 2, in the course of transportation, the position of the upper edge (a) of the work W is detected by a sensor 66, and the conveyer 2 is elevated by an elevator 4 until the upper edge (a) takes a fixed position. The work W which has reached the outlet 16 is pushed at its one side edge by a projection 18 of a pusher 17 to be guided along a rail 26 by both guides 23. Thus, the work is laterally fed to the left. Subsequently, the work W is clamped between belts 26, 27 and transported. When a plurality of works W are arranged adjacent to each other at a jig fixing position L, each work W is held by each clamp 40 of a carrier bar 37 to be fed to the next process, a plating device. |
