ABSTRACT:
A transporting apparatus includes a supporting part, first and second driving axles rotatably supported by the supporting part, a plurality of driving links respectively combined to the first and second driving axles, a plurality of transporting links rotatably connected to the driving links, and a transporting table rotatably connected to the transporting links by pivots to reciprocate by a cooperation of the driving links and the transporting links. The first and second driving axles are aligned in a reciprocating direction of the transporting table. Thus, the present invention provides a transporting apparatus in which the first and second driving axles are aligned in a reciprocating direction of the transporting table, so that a moment load acting on the transporting table is decreased, preventing the transporting table from drooping and enhancing transport efficiency.
