    Abstract: An article rejecting system includes: a conveyance unit that conveys an article along a conveying direction; a detection unit that detects the article which is conveyed by the conveyance unit; a rejecting unit that is provided on a downstream side of the detection unit in the conveying direction and performs a rejecting motion for rejecting the article which is conveyed by the conveyance unit; a control unit that controls the rejecting unit such that the rejecting motion is performed at a predetermined automatic timing when the detection unit detects the article; and an input unit that accepts input of a manual operation for causing the rejecting unit to perform the rejecting motion at a manual timing. The control unit sets the automatic timing based on the manual timing, if the input unit accepts the input of the manual operation when the detection unit detects the article.

    Abstract: An inspection sorting apparatus includes an X-ray tube with an anode electrode and a cathode electrode, a tank housing the X-ray tube and having insulation oil contained therein, and the anode electrode and the cathode electrode are supplied with a predetermined voltage to generate X-ray. An inspection sorting apparatus has an abnormal discharge determination unit, an LCD display, and a notification control unit. The abnormal discharge determination unit individually detects a first abnormal discharge which is an abnormal discharge inside the X-ray tube, and a second abnormal discharge which is an abnormal discharge inside the tank outside the X-ray tube. The LCD display outputs notification information prompting an administrator to replace the X-ray tube or the tank. The notification control unit causes the LCD display to output the notification information in accordance with a detection result from the abnormal discharge determining unit.

    Abstract: A vibratory conveying apparatus (10) comprises a trough (20) for conveying articles from an upstream side to a downstream side, a vibrator (30) for vibrating the trough (20), and an attachment/detachment mechanism (40) for attaching and detaching the trough (20) and the vibrator (30). The attachment/detachment mechanism (40) has a trough-side attachment/detachment member (50), a vibrator-side attachment/detachment member (70), and a lever (65). The trough-side attachment/detachment member (50), which is secured to a trough bottom plate (21), has a protruding part (55) disposed on the upstream side and an eccentric cam (66) disposed on the downstream side. The vibrator-side attachment/detachment member (70), which is secured to the vibrator (30), has a protruding part (72) disposed on the upstream side and a bent part (73) disposed on the downstream side. The lever (65) is configured to be moved up and down to switch between a fixed state in which the trough-side attachment/detachment member (50) and the vibrator-side attachment/detachment member (70) are fixed to each other, and a separated state in which the two members are separated from each other.

    Abstract: A bag making and packaging machine is provided with a feed mechanism, a roll holding portion, a printing mechanism, a former, a longitudinal seal mechanism, a transverse seal mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a first sensor, and a second sensor. The printing mechanism prints information on a film. The former causes the two longitudinal sides of the film to become overlapped. The longitudinal seal mechanism bonds the two longitudinal sides and makes a film tube. The transverse seal mechanism sandwiches and bonds the film tube and makes a transverse seal portion. The cutting mechanism cuts the film tube at the transverse seal portion. The first sensor detects a mark on the film for identifying a cutting position for cutting the film tube. The second sensor detects a mark for specifying a printing position of the film where predetermined information is to be printed.

    Abstract: Provided is a stretch wrapping machine that can stably convey film even in a case where, for the purpose of wrapping, a holding component that holds the film is provided separately from belts for conveyance. The stretch wrapping machine is equipped with conveyance devices (22) having belt conveyance units and belt pressing mechanisms, a clamp device (23), a wrapping station, and a control device (9). At the wrapping station, product is pushed against film held by the clamp device (23), and the product is wrapped by the film. The belt conveyance units have upper belts and lower belts that sandwich end portions of the film. Pressing members (221e) of the belt pressing mechanisms apply force to the upper belts so that the force with which the upper belts and the lower belts sandwich the film increases. Additionally, the control device (9) controls the belt pressing mechanisms so that during conveyance of the film the force resulting from the pressing members (221e) acts on the upper belts and so that after conveyance of the film the force resulting from the pressing members (221e) that had acted on the upper belts is cancelled.
