Abstract
A measuring and classifying apparatus (transferring apparatus) for chips includes an immovable base and a turn table (transferring member). The turn table is rotatably disposed on an upper surface of the immovable base, and is provided with receiving concavities for receiving chips with the immovable base and suction passes for chucking the chips. The chips are transferred above the immovable base while being chucked in the receiving concavities. The suction passes are formed at the upper corner portions of the receiving concavities, so that the chips are chucked in such a manner that gaps are provided between the chips and the upper surface of the immovable base.
