Abstract: A rotary member inspection method of inspecting a rotation operation of a rotary member configured to rotate about a rotation shaft includes: causing the rotary member to perform forward rotation and thereafter perform reverse rotation; acquiring one or both of a difference value between a rotating torque at a time of the forward rotation of the rotary member and a rotating torque at a time of the reverse rotation of the rotary member, and an inertia force at a time of switching from the forward rotation to the reverse rotation of the rotary member; and determining whether a rotation failure of the rotary member is present based on one or both of the acquired difference value and the acquired inertia force and a threshold set in advance.

Abstract: A screw fastening apparatus for fastening a screw member having a bearing surface with respect to a member to be fastened by rotating the screw member from a theoretical seating point to a target rotational angle, including a rotational angle sensor which senses rotational angle values of the screw member for fastening the screw member, a torque detector which detects torque values for fastening the screw member, a torque value difference detector which detects a plurality of torque value differences, each of the torque value differences is a difference of the torque values detected at intervals of a constant rotational angle, a slip detector which detects a slip of the screw member with respect to the member to be fastened, from an average of the torque value differences, and a screw fastening discontinuing unit which instructs to discontinue the screw fastening when the slip is detected by the slip detector.

Abstract: A work operation assurance system includes an information projector, an imaging unit, and a processor. The information projector projects work information on a work object. The imaging unit obtains image data on an operator performing a work operation on the work object. The processor includes an artificial intelligence component that determines whether the work operation performed by the operator is appropriate based on the image data obtained by the imaging unit and work operation information preliminarily learned by the artificial intelligence component. In a case where the artificial intelligence component determines that the work operation performed by the operator is inappropriate, the processor causes the information projector to project a notification indicating that the work operation performed by the operator is inappropriate.
