A viscous liquid supply apparatus includes a storage tank () that stores viscous liquid, and a pump () that supplies the viscous liquid stored in the storage tank to a use point, wherein the viscous liquid supply apparatus is configured with a viscometer () that measures a viscosity of the viscous liquid stored in the storage tank, and a replenishment device () that supplies replenishment liquid to the storage tank based on the viscosity measured with the viscometer. The viscometer () is a rotary type viscometer that has a rotor () in a cylindrical shape wherein the rotor is immersed in the viscous liquid and rotates therein, and the rotor is configured with a stirring blade that agitates the viscous liquid inside the storage tank ().

Viscous liquid supply apparatus

An aligning and conveying apparatus includes a rotating disk having a bottom wall, a first ring having a first circumferential wall, a second ring having a second circumferential wall. First and second conveying parts are respectively provided in upper parts of the first and second circumferential walls. In the rotating disk and the first ring, the bottom wall is positioned lower than the first conveying part to form a retaining space for retaining preparations inside the first ring. The respective rotational axes are relatively inclined such that the preparations move from the bottom wall to the first conveying part at a first delivery position. In the first and second rings, the first conveying part is positioned lower than the second conveying part, and the respective rotational axes are relatively inclined such that the preparations move from the first conveying part to the second conveying part at a second delivery position.

Aligning and feeding device

A test object carrying device for use in an appearance inspection device for checking the appearance of the test objects, which includes a back/front reversal unit for turning over the test objects being conveyed by the forward conveying means and supplying them to the returning unit; the back/front reversal means is provided with a first drum for rotating and conveying the test objects unit while holding the test objects on the peripheral surface thereof, and a second drum for rotating and conveying the test objects being conveyed by the first drum while holding the test objects on the peripheral surface thereof; wherein at least one of the first drum and the second drum is structured so that the test objects are transferred in parallel to the forward conveying unit and returning unit by rotating and conveying the test objects while holding them on the peripheral surface thereof.

Carrying device and appearance inspection device for test objects

An appearance inspection device, which inspects an appearance of test objects, includes a first and second conveying meansandconveying the test objects, a back/front reversal meansturning over the front and back surfaces of the test objects being conveyed by the first conveying meansand supplying the test objects to the second conveying means, and a plurality of image-pickup meansandcapturing images of each test object from upper oblique directions while the test objects are conveyed by the first and second conveying meansand. The appearance inspection device also includes a defect detection means detecting the presence of defects in the test objects based on image data captured by the image-pickup meansand. This appearance inspection device makes it possible to reliably and readily inspect an entire appearance of the test objects.

Appearance inspection device

A vibrating feeder provided with a feeder ballhaving a circular bottom wall and a conveyance path formed along the periphery of the bottom wall; a feeder bodysupporting the feeder ballso as to apply torsional vibration and conveying substance supplied on the bottom wallalong the conveyance path; and a main body supporting member for supporting the feeder body; the conveyance path comprising an ascending rail and descending rail disposed in the downstream of the ascending rail in the conveyance direction; the main bodysupporting member supporting the feeder bodyon a horizontal floor so that a torsion axis C, which becomes the center of the torsional vibration, is inclined relative to the vertical direction; the ascending rail and descending rail conveying the conveyed objects upwardly or downwardly relative to the horizontal direction while the feeder body being supported by the horizontal floor via the main body supporting member.
