ABSTRACT:
A feeding apparatus including a feeding device including (a) a feeder which feeds, in each of a plurality of feeding operations, an object in a feeding direction in a state in which an external force is exerted to the object in a direction parallel to the feeding direction, and (b) a motor which operates the feeder and thereby feeds the object; and a controller which controls, in each feeding operation, the motor by supplying, in a first control mode, a first power to the motor so as to feed the object to a control-end position distant from a target stop position by a predetermined amount, and supplying, in a second control mode, a second power different from the first power, to the motor so that the feeder applies, to the object, a resisting force resisting the external force and thereby prevents at least a portion of a movement of the object in the direction parallel to the feeding direction that is caused by the external force.
