  • Patent number: 11565302
    Abstract: A press working apparatus includes: a first positioner that is provided to at least one press of a first press or a second press and that performs positioning of at least one die of the at least one press; and a second positioner that performs positioning of the at least one die and that positions the at least one die in a position deviated in a feeding direction with respect to the first positioner.

  • Patent number: 5512821
    Abstract: A magnetic detector includes a magnetizer generating a magnetic field; a first magnetic sensor for detecting a leakage flux resulting from a magnetically defective portion of an object moving in and relative to the magnetic field; a low-pass filter for extracting a low-frequency signal component contained in the signal output by the magnetic sensor, the low-frequency signal component being indicative of a floating flux which crosses the magnetic sensor and is a result of the object moving through the magnetic field; an amplifier for amplifying the extracted low-frequency signal component; a compensating coil excited by the amplified low-frequency signal component output by the amplifier, for generating a magnetic flux which cancels out the floating flux crossing the magnetic sensor; a high-pass filter for extracting a signal resulting from the magnetically defective portion and contained in the signal that is output by the first magnetic sensor; an output amplifier for amplifying a signal output by the high-p

  • Patent number: 5235275
    Abstract: In a magnetic inspection apparatus for a thin steel strip of the invention, a pole-to-pole distance of a magnetizer, which is housed in a hollow roller contacting a traveling thin steel strip to oppose the thin steel strip, is set between twice and eight times a distance between magnetic poles and the thin steel strip. A position of a magnetic sensor in the travel direction of the thin steel strip is shifted from the central position of the magnetic poles to a travel direction side by a small distance. In this invention, a pair of hollow rollers are provided to sandwich upper and lower surfaces of a traveling thin steel strip, and magnetic sensors are respectively housed in the hollow rollers. As a result, a position of a defect in the direction of the thickness of the thin steel strip, and a defect size can be accurately detected.
