ワーク保持部500は、図5に示すように、矩形ワーク20の上縁部20aをクランプする導電性の複数の上側クランパー510と、矩形ワーク20の下縁部20bをクランプする導電性の複数の下側クランパー520と、矩形ワーク20を囲んで配置され、複数の上側クランパー510及び複数の下側クランパー520を支持する四角形の枠体530と、を有する。
本実施形態では、ワーク保持治具30に設けられる導電部材であって、整流器及びワーク20と電気的に接続可能な導電部材が、第1及び第2の分岐導電部材と、第1及び第2の分岐導電部材と電気的に接続された共通導電部材とを含んでいる。
図6は、本実施形態のように共通接続部360に高抵抗値rの材料を含まない比較例の治具を模式的に示す。図6中の比較例の治具の搬送方向Aの上流側の接触部に流れる電流A1と、搬送方向Aの下流側の接触部に流れる電流A2とする。
図8は、共通接続部360に高抵抗値rの材料を含む本実施形態の治具30を模式的に示す。図8中の治具30の搬送方向Aの上流側の接触部341Aに流れる電流A1と、搬送方向Aの下流側の接触部341Bに流れる電流A2と、一対の第1接続部370A,370Bに流れる電流A3,A4と、一対の第2接続部380A,380Bに流れる電流A5,A6とする。
図5に示すように、上枠531及び/又は下枠532を導電性の支持部としたとき、支持部には上側及び/又は下側クランパー510,520加えて、導電性の上側ダミー板610及び/又は導電性の下側ダミー板620を有することができる。上側ダミー板610は、ワーク20の上縁部20aのうち上側クランパー510で保持されない領域にて、ワーク20の上縁部20aと接近して配置される。下側ダミー板620は、ワーク20の下縁部20bのうち下側クランパー520で保持されない領域にて、ワーク20の下縁部20bと接近して配置される。
以下、上側クランパー510及び下側クランパー520の一方又は双方に設けられるダミー板及び調整部材を、下側クランパー520を例に挙げて説明する。上側クランパー510に設けられるダミー板及び調整部材については、以下の説明中の「下側クランパー520」を「上側クランパー510」と、「下枠532」を「上枠531」と読み替えることで理解される。
図5に示すように、ワーク保持治具30は、ワーク20の両測縁部に接近して配置される導電性の第1及び第2のサイドダミー部材800A,800Bをさらに有することができる。図5のD-D矢視図である図15に示すように、第1のサイドダミー部材800Aは、ワーク20の側縁部20dと縦枠534との間に配置される。第2のサイドダミー部材800Bは、ワーク20の側縁部20cと縦枠534との間に配置される。
図20~図22は、ワーク20の両側縁部20c,20dの各々に対向して2本のサイドダミー部材を配置したワーク保持冶具を示している。ワーク20の一方の側縁部20dと対向して、第1のサイドダミー部材1011及び第2のサイドダミー部材1012が配置される。第1のダミー支持部1000A,1000Bは、枠体530の例えば縦枠534に保持され、第1のサイドダミー部材1000及び第2のサイドダミー部材1012の両端を支持している。第1のダミー支持部1000Aにはケーブル930Aが接続される。それにより、第1のサイドダミー部材1011及び第2のサイドダミー部材1012は整流器と電気的に接続される。
