Patent ID: 8465013

Claim:
A carrying apparatus comprising: a first rotating unit configured to carry a sheet-like carried medium in a rotating direction; a second rotating unit configured to carry the sheet-like carried medium in the rotating direction, the second rotating unit being arranged in an upper or lower stream side of the first rotating unit; a first driving unit configured to rotate the first rotating unit; a second driving unit configured to rotate the second rotating unit; a first rotational speed detecting unit configured to detect a first rotational speed of the first rotating unit; a second rotational speed detecting unit configured to detect a second rotational speed of the second rotating unit; a first rotational speed controlling unit configured to control the first rotational speed to be a first target speed; a second rotational speed controlling unit configured to control the second rotational speed to be a second target speed; and a torque information acquiring unit configured to acquire torque information of torque acting on the first rotating unit, wherein the second rotational speed controlling unit controls the second rotational speed of the second driving unit rotating the second rotating unit in response to a comparison result between the torque information of the torque acting on the first rotating unit acquired by the torque information acquiring unit when the sheet-like carried medium is solely carried by the first rotating unit and the torque information of the torque acting on the first rotating unit acquired by the torque information acquiring unit when the sheet-like carried medium is carried by the first rotating unit and the second rotating unit.
