A method for transferring a thin plate is provided, in which three or more grasping claws of a transfer arm grasp the periphery of the thin plate in order to transfer it to a predetermined transfer position, and three or more holding claws hold the periphery of the thin plate in the transfer position. The transfer arm rotates about a shaft which is in a direction of a vector sum of a first vector perpendicular to a surface of the thin plate before transfer, and a second vector perpendicular to the surface of the thin plate after the transfer, to transfer the thin plate with changing the posture thereof.
