Abstract: A bag-making and packaging machine includes sealing jaws, a horizontal moving device, a vertical moving device, and a control unit. The sealing jaws perform a transverse sealing operation. The vertical moving device moves the sealing jaws in a vertical direction. The vertical moving device includes a rotating shaft, a motor, and a link mechanism. The link mechanism transmits rotational force of the rotating shaft to the sealing jaws. The control unit performs first control or second control. The first control forwardly rotates and reversely rotates the rotating shaft during a period of time from a start of the transverse sealing operation to a start of a subsequent transverse sealing operation. The second control performs one of the transverse sealing operation and the subsequent transverse sealing operation with a forward rotation of the rotating shaft and the other with a reverse rotation of the rotating shaft.

Abstract: A bag-making and packaging machine forms a sheet-like film into a tubular shape and transversely seals the film to manufacture bags containing articles. The bag-making and packaging machine includes a transverse sealing mechanism and a control unit. The transverse sealing mechanism pinches and transversely seals the tubular film that has been formed into a tubular shape to form a transverse seal portion. The control unit determines whether or not there is jamming in the transverse seal portion and, in a case where it has determined that there is jamming, switches between a first bag-making process to continue bag-making operation and a second bag-making process to stop bag-making operation based on a jamming state.

Abstract: A continuous bag-making and packaging apparatus is disclosed. In the apparatus, sealing is performed on a film at a predetermined position to make a bag while the film is continuously conveyed. The apparatus includes a film-conveying unit configured to change a feeding speed of the film, a printing unit configured to print on the film conveyed, a bag information acquisition unit configured to acquire information of a bag to be made, and a print timing presentation unit configured to present information pertaining to a print timing suitable for printing based on the information of the bag.

Abstract: A motor includes a motor body including a bottom part and a motor terminal 26 provided at the bottom part, and a terminal unit 200 mounted at the bottom part of the motor body. The terminal unit 200 includes a holder 210, a PTC thermistor 180 and a terminal part 330b fixed to the holder 210, and a wiring part electrically connecting the motor terminal 26 and the terminal part 330b. The PTC thermistor 180 is provided at the wiring part. In the radial direction, the terminal part 330b and the PTC thermistor 180 are arranged and facing each other.

Abstract: A film roll supporting device comprises a shaft body part, a shaft tip part, and a projection part. The shaft body part extends through a central hole of a film roll and having the film roll mounted thereon. The shaft tip part extends in an axis direction of a shaft from one end of the shaft body part on a side to be inserted into the central hole of the film roll. The projection part extends in a direction intersecting the axis direction of the shaft body part from the shaft tip part. The projection part abuts from below to a core of the film roll provisionally placed on the shaft tip part when the mounting of the film roll is performed. A cutout recessed in a direction intersecting the axis direction of the shaft body part is formed in the projection part.
