An X-ray inspection device includes a conveyor, an X-ray irradiation unit, an X-ray detection unit, an inspection unit configured to inspect an article on the basis of an X-ray transmission image, a housing accommodating the X-ray irradiation unit and the X-ray detection unit, a cool air blower configured to cool air inside the housing and guide cool air to the X-ray detection unit via a duct, a monitoring unit configured to monitor a state of the cool air blower, and a control unit configured to stop the flow of air to the X-ray detection unit when an anomaly of the cool air blower is detected by the monitoring unit.

X-ray inspection device

An X-ray inspection apparatus includes a conveyance unit configured to convey articles, an X-ray irradiation unit configured to irradiate the articles conveyed by the conveyance unit with X-rays, an X-ray detection unit configured to detect X-rays transmitted through the articles, an image generation unit configured to generate an X-ray transmission image based on a detection result by the X-ray detection unit, and a calculation unit configured to calculate, based on the X-ray transmission image, the total amount of the articles conveyed per predetermined time by the conveyance unit.

X-ray inspection apparatus and article handling system

An article sorting determination device including a conveying unit configured to convey an article, an acquisition unit configured to acquire first information and second information, the first information relating to a size of the article being conveyed by the conveying unit and the second information relating to a width of a passage port through which the article passes through downstream of the conveying unit; and a control unit configured to output a sorting signal for sorting the article from the conveying unit when determining that the article would get stuck in the passage port on the basis of the first information and the second information.

Article sorting determination device

A foreign-matter detector for detecting foreign matter contained in an article P transported between a transmitter ( ) and a receiver ( ). The detector ( ) includes a signal extractor ( ) for extracting a signal (e) having a predetermined phase difference relative to a transmitted signal (a) from the transmitter ( ), based on a phase of the transmitted signal (a) from the transmitter ( ) and the received signal (b) from the receiver ( ), a specific value setting unit ( ) for setting, through an external input operation, a specific value for the level of the extracted signal (e) which is outputted from the signal extractor ( ) and which is attributable to the article (P) free from foreign matter to be detected, and a level adjusting circuit ( ) for adjusting the signal extractor ( ) or the receiver ( ) to cause the level of the extracted signal (e) attributable to the article itself to assume the specific value inputted. A foreign-matter detecting system is also provided which makes use of the foreign-matter detector.

Foreign-matter detector and foreign-matter detecting system

A weight checking apparatus is provided to prevent items that have not been properly checked from slipping through the weight checker. A weight checker includes a weight conveyor, a loading sensor, a weighing portion, a weighing conveyor weight change monitoring means, an item weight calculation means, and a controller. The loading sensor detects the loading of an item on the weighing conveyor. The weighing portion detects the weight of the weighing conveyor. The controller switches between the weighing conveyor weight change monitoring process and the item weight calculation process based on a detection signal from the loading sensor. The weighing conveyor weight change monitoring process monitors a change in the weight value of the weighing conveyor. The item weight calculation process calculates the weight of the item from the weight value detected by the weighing portion.
