Abstract: Provided is a spoon tapping device and the like capable of more reliably dropping little by little a particulate material scooped into a spoon while agglomeration of the particulate material is avoided, as compared to a case in which a particulate material is dropped by continuously vibrating the spoon for a predetermined time period. A spoon tapping device (1) includes: a spoon (3) configured to scoop a particulate material; a tapping tool (4) configured to tap a part (3a) of the spoon from above; and driving equipment (5) configured to intermittently drive the tapping tool, The tapping tool (4) includes a knocking part (41) to be knocked against the part of the spoon, and a movable arm (42) configured to move, with the knocking part mounted thereon, so that the knocking part is brought into contact with the part of the spoon.

Abstract: Provided is a powder collector or the like, which is capable of efficiently performing the work of collecting each powder of a different kind and the like while easily preventing a foreign matter such as another kind of powder from being mixed.

Abstract: Provided is an automated manufacturing cell including: a work booth provided with a work space; a robot arranged in the work booth; a container booth which is connected, in a manner allowing insulation, to each of the work booth and an external space, and is configured to store a work tool and a work subject; and a holder fixation tool which is arranged in the work space, and is configured to detachably fix a holder configured to hold the work tool.
