Abstract
A workpiece can be simply taken out from a surface plate by a small force without being damaged even though the workpiece is stuck to the workpiece through the surface tension of polishing liquid intervening between the workpiece and the surface plate. By using a takeout device comprising a chucking means for chucking the workpiece and a posture control mechanism for changing the posture of the chuck means, the workpiece horizontally set on the surface plate is chucked by the chuck means in its horizontal posture, and then the chuck means,is inclined by the posture control mechanism so as to lift up one end part of the workpiece W in order to separate the workpiece from the surface plate. Thereafter the workpiece can be lifted up in its entirety so as to be taken out from the surface plate.
