TRANSFER DEVICE

The object is to provide a transfer apparatus that picks up parts (P) of various shapes of sewn products and the like without fail to significantly decrease the number of pickup errors and transfers the parts efficiently. A transfer apparatus (11) picks up and transfers a plurality of parts (P), placed on one same plane as a result of a sheet being cut in a cutting step (21), to a next step (22). The transfer apparatus (11) includes a plurality of pickup arms (14) each including an extendable arm portion (15) and an adsorption hand (16) adsorbing each of the plurality of parts (P) at a tip of the arm portion (15). The plurality of pickup arms (14) are movable between the cutting step (21) and the next step (22). The transfer apparatus (11) further includes a controller (81) driving and controlling the plurality of pickup arms (14). The controller (81) causes relative positions, as seen in a plan view, of the adsorption hands (16) to be changed based on graphics data (83) used in the cutting step (21), and causes each of the plurality of parts (P) to be adsorbed and picked up by at least one of the adsorption hands (16).
