A load measuring device is provided with load sensor, data logger, and measurement start switch on body. When switch section is pressed down by a suction nozzle, load sensor outputs detection voltage to data logger in accordance with the size of the pressing load. Data logger records detection voltage for a specified time only from the time it starts receiving high level start recording signal from measurement start switch. By this, data logger does not record detection voltage until high level start recording signal is received from measurement start switch, thus does not incorrectly record vibrations and the like during conveyance as the load.
