  • Patent number: 7536940
    Abstract: A clean booth has a conveyor area for carrying recording sheets, and a motor drive area for containing motor and mechanical parts that emit much dust. The conveyor area and the motor drive area are covered respectively, and separated by a frame plate. Moreover, fan filter units blow pressurized clean air into the conveyor area to discharge dust while a ventilation system exhausts air in the motor drive area. There is no airflow from motor drive area to the conveyor area because of the difference in air pressure. The recording sheets in the conveyor area are carried by belt conveyors with artificial suede belts. The artificial suede belt is suitable to be used as a conveyer belt because of low dust emission and sufficient flexibility to prevent flaw or pressure marks on the recording sheets.

  • Publication number: 20080127612
    Abstract: A sheet package producing system includes at least a cutter module and a packaging module. The cutter module has a cutter blade, for producing X-ray films by cutting a continuous sheet material. The packaging module has packaging robots, for producing a sheet package by packaging the X-ray films stacked on one another. In the sheet package producing system, a first module control unit is incorporated in the cutter module, for controlling the cutter blade. A second module control unit is incorporated in the packaging module, for controlling the packaging robots. A CPU is connected with the first and second module control units removably by a component network, for controlling the cutter module and the packaging module in synchronism.

  • Publication number: 20080107516
    Abstract: An apparatus for stacking a predetermined number of X-ray films has a sheet member holding device disposed above a stacking position for temporarily holding at least a first X-ray film, and an actuating device for displacing the sheet member holding device from the stacking position to drop the X-ray film held by the sheet member holding device into the stacking position. The apparatus is capable of stacking a plurality of X-ray films highly accurately and efficiently in the stacking position while avoiding damage to the X-ray films.

  • Publication number: 20050102979
    Abstract: A swinging conveyor is provided at a gate portion at an upstream side of a collection section. An X-ray film can be guided and discarded to a discard tray by this swinging conveyor. A light source and a light detector are provided between a first conveyor and a second conveyor at an upstream side of the swinging conveyor. Light of a predetermined wavelength is irradiated from the light source to an X-ray film which is being conveyed from the first conveyor to the second conveyor, and light that passes through the X-ray film is received by the light detector. A detection/control section judges whether or not an offcut is clinging to the X-ray film from amounts of light received by the light detector. If an offcut is clinging, the swinging conveyor operates to discard that X-ray film.
