Abstract: To provide an article gripping system that reduces the installation area of the apparatus and further shortens the amount of time from when it grips to when it feeds articles. An article gripping system (110) switches between a first positional relationship in which a container (50) obstructs discharge of articles gripped by a first gripping unit (15A) but does not obstruct discharge of articles by a second gripping unit (15B) and a second positional relationship in which the container (50) obstructs discharge of articles gripped by the second gripping unit (15B) but does not obstruct discharge of articles gripped by the first gripping unit (15A), so the gripping units do not move while they are holding the articles, and the articles can be prevented from falling out of the gripping units (15).

Abstract: A film roll replacement device supplies a film roll to a bag making and packaging machine. The film roll replacement device includes a holding section, a driving unit, and a controller. The holding section is at least temporarily located adjacent to a supporting shaft to support the film roll in the bag making and packaging machine, and the holding section holds a first film roll supplied to the bag making and packaging machine. The driving unit moves the holding section in an up-down direction. The controller controls an action of the driving unit to move the holding section to a position where a height position of a center of the first film roll held by the holding section is aligned with the height of a center of the supporting shaft of the bag making and packaging machine.

Abstract: A bagmaking and packaging machine packages articles with a film. The bagmaking and packaging machine includes a laser printing device and a receiving member. The laser printing device prints on a printed surface of the film. The receiving member is disposed so as to oppose a non-printed surface on the opposite side of the printed surface of the film. The receiving member has a reflection suppressing surface. The reflection suppressing surface suppresses regular reflection of laser light emitted by the laser printing device.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a combination weighing apparatus that reduces power consumption during opening and closing operations of a hopper gate.
[Solution] In a combination weighing apparatus 1, a control unit 70 controls a stepping motor 60 via a control signal that is input to the stepping motor 60. The control signal that is input to the stepping motor 60 is a voltage value corresponding to a desired current value. The control unit changes the control signal to the stepping motor 60 in conjunction with a change in the settings of the opening and closing speed of the gate 20. As a result, it becomes possible to supply power needed for the operation of the gate 20, and power can be saved.
