A picking apparatus in an embodiment includes: a gripper, an arm, a detector, and a control unit. The gripper picks and grips an object to be conveyed. The arm moves the gripper and causes the gripper to convey the object to be conveyed. The detector is attached to the arm and senses a force applied to the gripper. The control unit controls an operation of the gripper and the arm. The control unit includes a calculator and a subtractor. The calculator calculates a gravitational force and an inertial force applied to the gripper when the gripper grips and moves the object to be conveyed using an arithmetic expression including a coefficient determined in accordance with a mass of the object to be conveyed. The subtractor subtracts the gravitational force and the inertial force calculated by the calculator from a force applied to the gripper sensed by the detector.

The invention provides a dental gypsum-bonded investment material powder which can inhibit air bubbles from being generated in a mixed material, only by being mixed with water without using any special device or tool, and is easily mixed with the water. A specific siloxane is blended at a specific amount in relation to the dental gypsum-bonded investment material powder which includes an anionic surfactant and is excellent in a mold releasing action. In other words, the dental gypsum-bonded investment material powder is structured such as to have 0.001 to 0.2 weight % anionic surfactant, and 0.00001 to 0.0005 weight % cyclic siloxane having 3 to 10 SiO(CH)units.

Dental gypsum-bonded investment material powder

According to one embodiment, a paper sheets inspection apparatus includes a transfer mechanism configured to transfer paper sheets through an inspection position, a guide member including a guide surface opposed to the paper sheet at the inspection position, a standard plate on the guide member, including a reflection surface exposed on the guide surface at the inspection position, an air supply device configured to spout air flowing from a lateral position of the standard plate along the reflection surface, and form an air curtain between the standard plate and the paper sheet, a light source configured to radiate inspection light toward the reflection surface, and a photoreceptor configured to receive the inspection light reflected from the reflection surface of the standard plate and the inspection light reflected from a surface of the paper sheet at the inspection position.

Paper sheets inspection apparatus

A paper sheet pickup device including a valve device is disclosed. The valve device includes a first air hole configured to be formed in a main body block to extend through it, have one end communicating with an air chamber and the other end connected to the negative pressure side of an air drawing source, a second air hole configured to be formed in a main body block to extend through it, have one end communicating with the air chamber and the other end connected to the positive pressure side of the air drawing source, and a rod-shaped valve member configured to be arranged in the main body block to cross the first air hole and the second air hole.

Paper sheet pickup device and paper sheet processing apparatus

A paper sheet processing system has a paper sheet processing apparatus and a paper sheet bundle wrapping apparatus. The paper sheet processing apparatus sends category information of a bundle of 100 paper sheets to the paper sheet bundle wrapping apparatus when discharging the bundle of 100 paper sheets. The paper sheet bundle wrapping apparatus classifies and accumulates the bundle of 100 paper sheets based on the category information when receiving the bundle of 100 paper sheets. The paper sheet bundle wrapping apparatus bands ten bundles of 100 paper sheets as a bundle of 1000 paper sheets. Since the paper sheet bundle wrapping apparatus receives the bundle of 100 paper sheets of different category from the paper sheet processing apparatus and accumulates the bundle of 100 paper sheets for every category to form the bundle of 1000 paper sheets, the usage rate of the paper sheet bundle wrapping apparatus becomes high.

Paper sheet processing system

A sheet take-out device in which sheets are conveyed in an upright state and sheets having a low height can be stably taken out is provided. A sheet take-out device includes a main floor belt that conveys sheets that are placed in an upright state in a direction intersecting a conveying direction to a take-out portion, and a take-out unit that takes out the sheets conveyed by the main floor belt one by one in order from the frontmost sheet. The device includes a sub-floor belt that is capable of reverse conveyance, in which sheets are conveyed in a direction opposite to the conveying direction of the main floor belt, a tightness detection unit, and a height detection unit that detects the height of the sheets immediately prior to being taking out by the take-out unit, and performs sub-floor control.

Sheet take-out device

A sheet supply apparatus includes a supply portion with a sheet bundle supplied via an opening portion, a take-out portion to move the sheet bundle supplied to the supply portion to a take-out position and take out sheets one by one starting from a sheet on an uppermost surface of the sheet bundle, a first door with the opening portion arranged openably which is opened when the sheet bundle is supplied to the supply portion, a second door arranged openably on a middle position when the sheet bundle supplied to the supply portion moves to the take-out position, and a controller to control the first door and second door to open or close.

Sheet supply apparatus

A sheet processing apparatus and a sheet take-out apparatus that prevents a sheet conveyed by a take-out portion from hanging-down and falling, when the take-out portion is stopped due to an emergency. If a take-out emergency process state occurs during the take-out of sheets, the sheet take-out apparatus stops upward movement of a backup plate, moves down feed stoppers, and presses a sheet bundle from above to prevent the sheet on the uppermost surface from being taken out. The sheet take-out apparatus also keeps a rotor air valve on and takes out the sheet caught in a sheet take-in port. When residual sheets on the backup plate are later detected, the sheet take-out apparatus moves down the position of the backup plate, turns off air valves for the rotor, fixed absorbing unit, and handling, and loads a hanging-down sheet on the backup plate, to prevent the sheet from scattering.
