  • Publication number: 20230182317
    Abstract: A sealant application apparatus includes a seal gun, a distance meter, a moving mechanism and a controller. The seal gun has a nozzle for discharging sealant toward a fastener. The distance meter is fixed to the nozzle. The distance meter measures a distance from a measurement position to a surface of the sealant. The moving mechanism moves the seal gun relatively to the fastener. The controller controls the moving mechanism and the seal gun. The sealant is started to be discharged out from the seal gun in a state where the nozzle has been positioned to cover the fastener at a position away from a surface of the object by a predetermined distance. Subsequently, the sealant is applied to the fastener under a sealant application condition according to the distance measured by the distance meter while moving the nozzle away from the surface of the object.

  • Publication number: 20230183039
    Abstract: The present invention provides an elevator system which prevents interruption of communication with a wireless communication device installed in a car, while suppressing the cost. The elevator system includes the car ascending/descending in a hoistway, multiple hoistway wireless communication devices installed in the hoistway, and a car wireless communication device installed in the car. The elevator system is configured to allow communication between the hoistway wireless communication device and the car wireless communication device. A spacing between the hoistway wireless communication devices which are installed at positions near a vertical center of the hoistway is smaller than a spacing between the hoistway wireless communication devices which are installed at positions farther from the vertical center.

  • Patent number: 11117158
    Abstract: A sealant discharging apparatus includes a sealing gun, a movement controller, and a discharge controller. The sealing gun discharges sealant to an object. The movement controller causes the sealing gun and the object to move relatively. The discharge controller controls a discharge amount of the sealant discharged from the sealing gun. The movement controller controls a movement velocity of the sealing gun based on a volume of post-sealing sealant that has been discharged from the sealing gun and used to seal the object, and an amount of volume change in a sealant pool that has been discharged from the sealing gun and is yet to be used to seal the object.
