1. An automatic analyzer, comprising:
a linear movement unit configured to access to an access point by a linear movement;
a rotational movement unit configured to access to the access point by a rotational movement; and a control unit configured to control an operation of the linear movement unit and the rotational movement unit so that the linear movement unit and the rotational movement unit do not interfere with each other, wherein the control unit is configured to set a movement speed of the rotational movement unit to be larger than a movement speed of the linear movement unit, and wherein the control unit is configured to return the linear movement unit to a first origin, and return the rotational movement unit to a second origin different from the first origin, and the linear movement unit is configured to linearly move only in a direction of a straight line connecting the first origin and the access point.
