The floatation roll has a cylindrical shape extending in a direction of width of the work, and at least a surface of the floatation roll facing the work being formed by a circumferential surface. A driving unit rotates the floatation roll in a yaw direction. Of a wrap angle of the work supported by the floatation roll contactlessly, a wrap angle on an entry side with respect to an apex point and a wrap angle on an exit side with respect to the apex point are set to be different.
