Suction sheet

1. A suction sheet to be attached onto a suction surface of a suction apparatus that holds an object by vacuum suction, comprising:

a substrate that has a plurality of through holes formed therein and one surface to be brought into contact with the suction surface;

a porous body with a thickness of 1.4 mm or less that is adhered onto a surface of the substrate other than the surface to be brought into contact with the suction surface so as to cover the plurality of the through holes of the substrate,

wherein the plurality of the through holes of the substrate are arranged so that a distance between a center of each individual through hole and a center of its adjacent through hole closest thereto is 65 mm or less,

the plurality of the through holes each have an opening area of 64 mm 2 or less, and

a formula: B/A 2 ≧0.015 is satisfied, wherein A is a maximum length of sides of a minimum rectangular frame that circumscribes a contour of the through hole as viewed in an axis direction, and B is a thickness of the porous body.

2. The suction sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the porous body is made of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene.

3. The suction sheet according to claim 2 , wherein

the porous body has been made porous by sintering ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene powder.

4. The suction sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the substrate is a plastic plate or a metal plate.

5. The suction sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of the through holes are provided within a region of the substrate corresponding to a recess formed in the suction surface of the suction apparatus, and

a size of the plurality of the through holes is smaller than a size of the recess.
