Abstract: Provided are a method for manufacturing a suspension element having a pattern of wiring lines and an equipment for the same. The method includes the steps of: preparing a roll of band-shaped sheet used as a substrate of the suspension element; sequentially performing processes to the sheet through a series of processing sections to integrally form the suspension element with the pattern of wiring lines within a predetermined region of the sheet, and transferring the sheet in a wound state like a roll from one of the processing sections to the next processing section.
