Patent number: 11065803Abstract: A preform conveying device (100) of the invention includes a control unit that detects an arriving time at which a conveyor jig arrives at a reference position based on an output of a first encoder, and commands a second motor to move a conveyor arm to a target position at regular intervals from the arriving time. The target position in each command is a position obtained by adding, to a current position of the conveyor jig which is obtained based on a latest output of the first encoder which was obtained when the command has been issued, a moving distance by which the conveyor jig has advanced during a delay time T which spans from a time when the latest output is outputted from the first encoder to a time when the command is received by the second motor.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2015Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: NISSEI ASB MACHINE CO., LTD.Inventor: Yoshiaki Tanabe

Patent number: 6862800Abstract: A coated lead wire can be solidly connected to a terminal of a coil bobbin by placing the terminal entwined with the coated lead wire into between electrodes having heating portions, and supplying electric current to the electrodes to heat the terminal entwined with the coated lead wire along with solder to melt the solder and burn off a coating layer of the coated lead wire while exerting pressure against to the terminal entwined with the coated lead wire, and directing a blow of inert gas toward the terminal entwined with the coated lead wire between the electrodes. The coating layer carbonized as the result of being burned out by heating up the electrodes can be blown out without being mixed into the molten solder, consequently to add strength to the connection between the lead wire and the terminal, to thereby form a reliable and firm connection between the lead wire and the terminal with ease.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2003Date of Patent: March 8, 2005Assignee: Taga Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazukiyo Yamamoto, Yoshiaki Tanabe
