  • Patent number: 11714922
    Abstract: An inspection apparatus includes an image-capturing unit configured to capture an image of an article, an inspection unit configured to inspect the article, a generation-processing unit, and a storage-processing unit. The generation-processing unit generates a data group related to an inspection result obtained by the inspection unit, the data group including article information for distinguishing the article, the inspection result obtained by the inspection unit, captured-image information for distinguishing a captured image captured by the image-capturing unit from another captured image, and a hash value of the captured image that are associated with each other. The storage-processing unit stores the data group and the captured image in respective different storage units.

  • Publication number: 20220368850
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a production system that can easily reference a video pertaining to a specific action or operation of a device. A production system (10) is provided with a log generation unit (51a), a video generation unit (51b), a recording unit (51c), and a control unit (51d). The log generation unit (51a) generates log information pertaining to an action of a device (20) implementing a process and/or log information pertaining to an operation of a worker operating the device (20). The video generation unit (51b) generates video data of an action of the device (20) and/or video data of an operation by the worker. The recording unit (51c) records the log information generated by the log generation unit (51a), in association with the video data generated by the video generation unit (51b).

  • Patent number: 9446582
    Abstract: A perfector includes: a printing unit that performs printing simultaneously on both surfaces of a paper sheet; detecting means for detecting printing conditions on both surfaces of the paper sheet; and transporting means for transporting the paper sheet to a delivery unit. The printing unit includes: a blanket impression cylinder that holds and transports the paper sheet; and a blanket cylinder in contact with the blanket impression cylinder. The transporting means includes: a transfer cylinder in contact with the blanket impression cylinder and receives the paper sheet from the blanket impression cylinder; and a delivery cylinder in contact with the transfer cylinder and receives the paper sheet from the transfer cylinder. The detecting means includes: a first checking camera that detects the printing condition on one surface of the paper sheet; and a second checking camera that detects the printing condition on the other surface of the paper sheet.

  • Publication number: 20140007785
    Abstract: A printing unit prints simultaneously on both surfaces of a paper sheet while a detecting unit detects printing conditions on both surfaces of the paper sheet. The printing unit includes: a blanket impression cylinder configured to hold and transport the paper sheet; and a blanket cylinder being lateral to the blanket impression cylinder and being in contact with the blanket impression cylinder. The transporting device includes: a transfer cylinder configured to receive the paper sheet from the blanket impression cylinder; and a delivery cylinder configured to receive the paper sheet from the transfer cylinder. The detecting unit includes: a first checking camera configured to detect the printing condition on one surface of the paper sheet transported by the transfer cylinder; and a second checking camera configured to detect the printing condition on the other surface of the paper sheet transported by the delivery cylinder.

  • Publication number: 20090293745
    Abstract: A perfecter includes: a transfer cylinder (14); a blanket impression cylinder (11); a blanket cylinder (12); and an air blow (15) and suction chambers (23a to 23f), which are provided to prevent a sheet (W) from contacting with the blanket impression cylinder (11) after the sheet (W) is conveyed from the transfer cylinder (14) to the blanket impression cylinder (11) and before the sheet reaches a contact point between the blanket impression cylinder (11) and the blanket cylinder (12). In the perfecter, a camera (30) is provided to take images of the sheet (W) from the same direction as a cylinder shaft direction of the blanket impression cylinder (11) at a certain timing after the sheet (W) is conveyed to the blanket impression cylinder (11) from the transfer cylinder (14) and before printing on the sheet (W) by the blanket impression cylinder (11) and the blanket cylinder (12) is finished.
