The X-axis moving unit moves X-axis stages with respect to Y-axis stages in an X-axis direction so that the vision devices move toward or away from the guide roller while supported by the X-axis stages. The Y-axis moving unit moves at least any one of the Y-axis stages with respect to the base frame in the Y-axis direction to adjust a distance between the vision devices.
