  • Publication number: 20170024873
    Abstract: An imaging device inserted into an opening of a tire includes a light source, a mirror, and a camera and is configured so that the mirror revolves around a rotation shaft while an orientation of a surface of the mirror changes. The mirror is set in an imaging position by being revolved around the rotation shaft to be inserted into a tire cavity region. The tread inner surface of the tire is scanned with slit light by being irradiated with the slit light. During the scanning with the slit light, a line irradiation region on the tread inner surface formed through the irradiation of the slit light is imaged via the mirror by the camera from a direction tilted with respect to the tire circumferential direction, and image data is output.

  • Publication number: 20160340140
    Abstract: The roller-to-roller conveyance control apparatus includes an amplitude target setting unit that sets an amplitude target value of the tension deviation; an adjustment execution command generation unit that provides a command to adjust the control gain; an adjustment manipulated-variable output unit that outputs an adjustment manipulated variable; a manipulated-variable amplitude determination unit that increases the amplitude of the adjustment manipulated variable until the amplitude of the tension deviation becomes larger than the amplitude target value; and a control-gain calculation device that calculates the control gain from the amplitude and the vibration period of the tension deviation. A tension-shaft speed controller controls a tension-control-shaft motor on the basis of the line speed reference and the adjustment manipulated variable during the adjustment of the control gain.
