A conveying apparatus that facilitates setting of an operation mode and setting of appropriate conditions during teaching is provided. An input determination section determines whether or not a combination of a conveyable weight and an operation mode input from an input portion is appropriate. A motor parameter determination section determines one or more motor parameters of at least one servoamplifier for one or more servomotors based on the operation mode and the conveyable weight determined as appropriate by the input determination section. The one or more motor parameters include a maximum speed and a maximum acceleration of the one or more servomotors. A parameter change section allows a speed and an acceleration of the one or more servomotors to be changed up to the maximum speed and the maximum acceleration, respectively.

An automated manufacturing system includes two simultaneous and independently operating toolheads accessing any location within the same work volume, with the exception of locations in proximity to each other. The system includes a bed platform connected with X and Y linear axes. A θ rotational axis rotates the bed and its linear axes as a unit. A first toolhead has a fixed position relative to the θ axis, and a second toolhead is coupled with a linear R axis parallel to the bed. The bed X and Y axes move the bed relative to the first toolhead, enabling the first toolhead to reach any portion of the bed. The R linear axis and θ rotational axis allow the second toolhead to move almost anywhere in a circular area that is always centered near the first toolhead. The system's kinematics ensure that it is impossible for the toolheads to collide.
