Method of and apparatus for conveying object by utilizing vibration.

摘要

A vibrating-type driving unit (3) employing a piezoelectric device (4) is provided for conveying an object (1) such as a sheet material. A follower roller 10) is provided to be opposed to the vibrating-type driving unit (3), and A.C. power is supplied thereto so as to convey the object (1). In addition, a friction coefficient of surface of the follower roller (10) is selected to be greater than friction coefficient of a driving head (7) of the vibrating-type driving unit (5). With this selection, it is possible to convey the object efficiently and stably.
