Abstract
To reduce installation space for neutralization devices of neutralization of static electricity generated by work levitation air in an air levitation apparatus which levitates plate-shaped work by jettisoning of air. With an apparatus wherein multiple air jets are provided on a work levitation face for levitation of plate-shaped work, so as to levitate the work by jettisoning of air, an ionization device for ionizing the air is installed in the supply channel of the work levitation air, thereby neutralizing the static electricity generated by the work levitation air that is jettisoned.
