Abstract
A conveying device in which a conveying arm assembly can be quickly set in a conveying position and can be rapidly stabilized in the conveying position includes a conveying arm assembly, a fixed shaft, at least one set of hollow operating shafts which are necessary for controlling an operation of the conveying arm assembly, and a motor provided between the fixed shaft and each of the operating shafts. The one set of operating shafts are attached to the fixed shaft such that they can be rotated coaxially with respect to the fixed shaft outside fixed shaft and are arranged in an axial direction of the fixed shaft. The conveying arm assembly is attached to an end portion of the operating shaft close to the ended of the fixed shaft. The motor comprises a stator provided on the fixed shaft and a rotor provided on each of the operating shafts such that it is opposed to the stator on an outer peripheral side of the stator. The stator is accommodated in a concave portion formed on an outer peripheral face of the fixed shaft.
