  • Patent number: 11740121
    Abstract: A weight checker includes a transport unit, a weighing unit, a body, and a frame. The transport unit transports products under inspection. The weighing unit determines the weights of the products under inspection on the transport unit. The body has a screen relating to the weighing performed by the weighing unit. The frame anchors the transport unit and the weighing unit. The frame has rail members that extend in a transport direction of the transport unit. The body is independent of the transport unit and the weighing unit and is mounted to the rail members such that its position in the transport direction TD can be changed.

  • Patent number: 10350645
    Abstract: An article rejecting system includes: a conveyance unit that conveys an article along a conveying direction; a detection unit that detects the article which is conveyed by the conveyance unit; a rejecting unit that is provided on a downstream side of the detection unit in the conveying direction and performs a rejecting motion for rejecting the article which is conveyed by the conveyance unit; a control unit that controls the rejecting unit such that the rejecting motion is performed at a predetermined automatic timing when the detection unit detects the article; and an input unit that accepts input of a manual operation for causing the rejecting unit to perform the rejecting motion at a manual timing. The control unit sets the automatic timing based on the manual timing, if the input unit accepts the input of the manual operation when the detection unit detects the article.

  • Patent number: 10126162
    Abstract: A weighing device includes: a weighing cell which weighs an article and outputs an original signal corresponding to the weight of the weighed article; a filter unit which performs a filtering process on the original signal output from the weighing cell; a controller which makes a waveform of a weighing signal subjected to the filtering process be displayed on a touch panel; and a storage unit which stores at least one of the original signal and the weighing signal, wherein the controller predicts and generates the waveforms of a plurality of weighing signals in a case of performing a plurality of filtering processes having different characteristics on the original signal or the weighing signal stored in the storage unit, and makes the waveforms of the plurality of weighing signals be displayed on the touch panel.
