PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a handling device capable of preventing an erroneous operation.SOLUTION: A handling device (200) for operating an X-ray photographing machine (1) remotely comprises: an operation section (280); a grip detection section (240) for deciding whether an operation accepted by the operation section (280) is normal or abnormal; and a control section (230) for sending an operation signal responding to the operation to the X-ray photographing machine (1). The control section (230) performs a transmission in the case where the grip detection section (240) judges a normal operation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7【課題】誤操作を防止することができる操作装置を提供する。【解決手段】X線撮影装置(1)を遠隔操作する操作装置(200)は、操作部(280)と、操作部(280)が受け付けた操作が正常操作か誤操作かを判断する把持検知部(240)と、操作に応じた操作信号をX線撮影装置(1)に対して送信する制御部(230)とを備え、制御部(230)は、把持検知部(240)が正常操作であると判断した場合に送信を行う。【選択図】図7
