CONVEYING METHOD AND CONVEYING APPARATUS FOR SHEET MEMBER

This conveying method for a sheet member conveys a sheet member while being supported by a roller member. The conveying method for the sheet member comprises the steps of: detecting, as force components in a plurality of different directions, the forces applied to regions at both ends in the width direction of the roller member by the sheet member supported by the roller member; and adjusting the force components in the regions at both ends in the width direction to a predetermined balance on the basis of the detection results of the plurality of force components. 种利用辊构件边支承片构件边输送该片构件的片构件的输送方法，具备以下工序：将由支承于辊构件的片构件施加于所述辊构件的宽度方向两端部区域的力作为彼此不同的多个方向上的分力分别进行检测；基于所述多个分力的检测结果将所述宽度方向两端部区域的分力调整为所述宽度方向两端部区域的分力成为预定的平衡。
