A plurality of first vacuum pads for suctioning a workpiece are directly or indirectly attached to a main body. A slider is configured to slide in an outward direction of the main body. When the slider slides to protrude in the outward direction of the main body while the first vacuum pads are suctioning the workpiece, a sensor detects an end portion of the workpiece. While the sensor detects the end portion of the workpiece and the slider is stopped, a second vacuum pad holds up the end portion of the workpiece by suctioning the workpiece at a position outside from positions at which the first vacuum pads suction the workpiece.

A single-sheet lifter includes a base frame arranged in a vicinity of a loading area and extending vertically, a separation unit configured to separate an uppermost workpiece from a plurality of the workpieces loaded in the loading area by means of at least one of an injection pressure of air and a suction force, and a counter balancer configured to reduce a weight acting on the separation unit. The separation unit is provided to the base frame so as to be able to move up and down. The separation unit includes a contact member that comes into contact with a surface of the uppermost workpiece. The separation unit is configured to go up following a lifting operation of a workpiece suction lifter and be retracted from above the loading area when the workpiece suction lifter sucks the surface of the uppermost workpiece to lift the workpiece.
