ABSTRACT:
A conveying apparatus is provided with a rotary disc portion with a suction means which forms a slit on an outer peripheral surface and sucks through the slit so as to convey a conveyed article in a state of holding the conveyed article by suction to both sides of the slit, and a linear conveying portion with a suction means which sucks the conveyed article riding over a pair of parallel conveying belts through a gap between the conveying belts so as to convey the conveyed article in a state of holding the conveyed article by suction to the conveying belt, and has one end opposing to the outer peripheral surface of the rotary disc portion so as to be capable of transfer the conveyed article. The conveying apparatus of the invention, the inspecting apparatus and an aligning and supplying apparatus allow for execution of a side surface inspection of a small article stably without requiring a lot of space.
