  • Publication number: 20190331150
    Abstract: A screw fastening device includes a driver, a photographing portion, a transfer unit, a barycentric coordinate calculating portion, and a screw hole specifying portion. The driver fastens a screw. The photographing portion photographs a substrate. The transfer unit transfers the driver and photographing portion in front-rear and left-right directions. The screw fastening device specifies, a photographed image, screw fastening coordinates, moves the driver, using the transfer unit, to the position indicated by the screw fastening coordinates, and fastens the substrate to a frame. A mark is imparted to an inner side of a screw hole in the frame, such that the mark is distinguishable in the photographed image from the substrate and the frame. The barycentric coordinate calculating portion calculates barycentric coordinates of a position of the detected mark. The screw hole specifying portion specifies the screw fastening coordinates based on the calculated barycentric coordinates.

  • Publication number: 20190039377
    Abstract: A printer includes ink heads, an ink head conveyor, a movable table, cap valves, lifters, a guide device, and a controller. The conveyor moves the ink heads in a main scanning direction. The movable table includes caps and is movable in the main scanning direction by the conveyor. The guide device defines a path along which the movable table is movable between a cap attaching position, a valve opening position, and a retracted position. Movement of the movable table to the valve opening position causes the lifters to abut against the cap valves to bring the cap valves to an open state and expose opening/closing passages to the atmosphere. Movement of the movable table to the cap attaching position from the valve opening position causes the lifters to move away from the cap valves to bring the cap valves to a closed state.
