That is, the invention (a) is identical to the present invention in that the chips are transported while being supported upright on the circumferential surface of the wheel, but the chips are transferred from the chip transfer control unit to the chip support unit of the wheel. When suction loading with the suction force of the suction port, since the suction port is only opened below the tip support, there is a problem that the loading of the chip does not go smoothly, which may cause incomplete loading. Also, since only the lower part of the chip is sucked, it is not sufficient as a suction support at the time of rotation transfer, and a cover or a guide for preventing the chip from dropping during the transfer as in the conventional case is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the wheel. It is necessary to install along the cover, but if the cover, guide, etc. are attached, it will be difficult to install the inspection means and the defective chip removal means, and the state of the inspection and removal loading cannot be directly monitored from the outside by eyes. The present invention can be) there is a problem.

[Effect] Since the chip is supported by the chip supporting portion of the wheel in an upright state, unlike the case where the chip is supported horizontally, the wheel can be configured to be extremely thick and strong, and excellent in durability can be manufactured. Processing is facilitated, and the suction port is provided in the center of the back of the chip support so that the chip can be absorbed and supported extremely stably.Therefore, there is no risk that the chip will fall off during rotation of the wheel. Covers and guide plates, which had to be installed along the circumference, are no longer required.As a result, it is easier to install inspection means, release means, loading means, and other attached mechanisms on the circumference of the wheel. Because the circumference of is exposed,
The chip being transported at the inspection means, escape means, and other positions can be directly monitored from the outside to prevent trouble occurrence,
It has extremely excellent features that can easily perform processing and the like.
