The transport plate includes a plurality of suction holes penetrating in the second direction, and a plurality of divided transport plates aligned in the first direction. The suction device includes a plurality of suction chambers divided along the first direction. A joint between the divided transport plates adjacent to each other, and a joint between the suction chambers adjacent to each other, are positionally shifted from each other in the first direction.
