A conveying apparatus for conveying workpieces to a first imaging position (Pi 1) where one surface of the workpiece is imaged with the one surface of the workpiece faced up, to an inversion position (Pr) where the workpiece is vertically inverted and to a second imaging position where another surface of the workpiece is imaged with the other surface of the workpiece faced up in this order, the conveying apparatus comprising: a first mover that is configured to move the workpiece between a first transfer position facing the first imaging position and the first imaging position; a second mover that is configured to move the workpiece between a second transfer position facing the inversion position (Pr) and the inversion position (Pr); a third mover that is configured to move the workpiece between a third transfer position facing the second imaging position and the second imaging position; a first feeder that is configured to feed the workpiece from the first transfer position to the second transfer position; and a second feeder that is configured to feed the workpiece from the second transfer position to the third transfer position, wherein: the workpiece having the one surface imaged and the vertically inverted workpiece are respectively defined as an upstream workpiece and a downstream workpiece, the conveying apparatus is configured so that: a movement of the upstream workpiece to the first transfer position by the first mover and a movement of the downstream workpiece to the second transfer position by the second mover are performable in synchronization; a feed of the upstream workpiece from the first transfer position to the second transfer position by the first feeder and a feed of the downstream workpiece from the second transfer position to the third transfer position by the second feeder are performable in synchronization; and a movement of the upstream workpiece from the second transfer position to the inversion position (Pr) by the second mover and a movement of the downstream workpiece from the third transfer position to the second imaging position by the third mover are perfomable in synchronization. a first mover that is configured to move the workpiece between a first transfer position facing the first imaging position and the first imaging position; a second mover that is configured to move the workpiece between a second transfer position facing the inversion position (Pr) and the inversion position (Pr); a third mover that is configured to move the workpiece between a third transfer position facing the second imaging position and the second imaging position; a first feeder that is configured to feed the workpiece from the first transfer position to the second transfer position; and a second feeder that is configured to feed the workpiece from the second transfer position to the third transfer position, wherein: the workpiece having the one surface imaged and the vertically inverted workpiece are respectively defined as an upstream workpiece and a downstream workpiece, a movement of the upstream workpiece to the first transfer position by the first mover and a movement of the downstream workpiece to the second transfer position by the second mover are performable in synchronization; a feed of the upstream workpiece from the first transfer position to the second transfer position by the first feeder and a feed of the downstream workpiece from the second transfer position to the third transfer position by the second feeder are performable in synchronization; and a movement of the upstream workpiece from the second transfer position to the inversion position (Pr) by the second mover and a movement of the downstream workpiece from the third transfer position to the second imaging position by the third mover are perfomable in synchronization.
