An inkjet head cleaning apparatusthat moves an inkjet headfrom a printing position Pto a cleaning position Pto perform cleaning, the inkjet head cleaning apparatuscomprising a conveying meansfor conveying the inkjet headbetween the printing position Pand the cleaning position Pand a cleaning meansfor cleaning a discharge surfaceof the inkjet headconveyed to the cleaning position P, wherein the conveying meanschanges the orientation of the inkjet headsuch that the orientation of the discharge surfaceof the inkjet headis different in the printing position Pand in the cleaning position P

Inkjet-head cleaning device and method

Disclosed is an edible object marking apparatus () wherein a carrier means () successively conveys an edible object to a detecting means (), a marking means (), and a marking inspecting means () while holding the edible object, wherein the detecting means () captures an image of the edible object to acquire orientational data indicating the orientation of the edible object, the marking means () forms a pre-set marking pattern in accordance with the orientation of the edible object based on the orientational data, and the marking inspecting means () captures an image of the edible object, extracts marking pattern data, compares the marking pattern data with pre-set reference pattern data based on the orientational data acquired by the detecting means () to thereby inspect marking accuracy. This edible object marking apparatus makes it possible to promptly and easily obtain edible objects provided with an accurate marking.

Apparatus and method for marking edible object

An inkjet marking apparatus, wherein a printing meanscomprises a printheadprovided with a plurality of nozzlesin a direction intersecting the conveying direction of printing substrates P, the printheadis supported so as to be movable in a direction in which the nozzlesare arranged, and a control means, at a time of nozzle change when the nozzlesto be used are changed, suspends the operation of a feeding meansto form a non-holding area on a carrier meanswhere the printing substrates P are not held in a holding partand, after the printing substrates P are printed, moves the printheadduring a time when the non-holding area passes through a printing area A.

Inkjet marking device and method

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.

Vibrating feeder, carrying device and inspection device

A plurality of flat tablets are held in containing holes () by pinching the circumferential edge of the flat tablet (t) at the lowermost position at the lower end of the containing hole, and then pinching state of the tablet (t) at the lowermost position is released thus dropping the plurality of flat tablets (t) under a flat state into a capsule body (m) arranged below. The capsule body can be surely filled with a predetermined number of flat tablets under a flat state by preventing occurrence of flat tablets under a standing state effectively.
