# Transfer apparatus

## Abstract

A transfer unit of a transfer apparatus includes a battery that is a power source of respective components, a suction mechanism that is a suction source of a transfer pad, a release mechanism that is an air source of the transfer pad, and a water supply mechanism that causes circulation of water stored in a water reservoir, which are all provided inside a housing of the transfer unit. This eliminates the need to externally supply the transfer unit with electric power, water, and air, and hence, the transfer unit does not include wires and pipes that are routed externally from the transfer unit and an accommodating member for accommodating the wires and pipes. Consequently, generation of dust due to rubbing between the accommodating member and the wires and pipes can be suppressed.
