1. A sliding system for performing a sliding process on a surface of an object to be conveyed, the sliding system comprising:
a sliding device and the object; the surface of the object having concaves; the sliding device further comprising:
a sliding part including a plurality of sliding bodies each having a working surface which is planar; and
a drive configured to move the sliding part and the sliding bodies with respect to the object, the drive configured to move the sliding part in parallel with the working surface of each sliding body and in a direction different from a moving direction of the sliding bodies while moving the sliding bodies in parallel with the working surface of each sliding body,
wherein the sliding device is configured to perform a sliding process on a surface of the object by sliding the sliding bodies of the sliding part across the surface of the object, and
the drive includes a plurality of first drivers configured to move corresponding sliding bodies independently in parallel with the working surface of each sliding body,
the sliding device further comprises a filler supply device for supplying a filler in a dry process,
the object is conveyed continuously,
the sliding device is configured to capture the filler by the working surface of at least one sliding body and move the filler in the moving direction of the at least one sliding body such that the filler enters into the concaves of the object,
each sliding body includes a surface member forming the working surface and an elastic member disposed inside the surface member, and
the drive further includes: a second driver configured to move the sliding part in parallel with the working surface of each sliding body in a direction different from a direction in which the first drivers move the sliding bodies.
