    摘要: A filling method includes storing liquid in a liquid tank; pressing a seal member of a filling head against a mouth of a vessel to seal the mouth; providing a liquid valve in a liquid passageway which connects an inside of the liquid tank to the vessel via the filling head; providing a gas valve in a gas passageway connecting a headspace of the liquid tank to the vessel via the filling head; providing a snifting valve in a snifting passage which connects the vessel to an outside via the filling head; detecting an amount of the liquid supplied to the vessel; and when the liquid is a non-fizzy liquid, opening the liquid valve to supply the liquid to the vessel while a compressor pressurizes the inside of the liquid tank, the gas valve is closed, the snifting valve is opened, and the mouth of the vessel is sealed.

    摘要: An article conveys containers with carriers moved by a linear driving apparatus. The article conveyance apparatus includes a first upper side linear conveyance rail, a second lower side linear conveyance rail, a first delivery unit that is inverted while holding the carriers to deliver the carriers from a downstream end A of the first conveyance rail to an upstream end of the second conveyance rail. A second delivery unit that is inverted while holding the plurality of carriers, delivers the carriers from a downstream end of the second conveyance rail to an upstream end B of the first conveyance rail. An interval between the first conveyance rail (forward path) and the second conveyance rail (return path) is reduced as compared with an existing article conveyance apparatus.

    摘要: A bonding apparatus provided with a gas supplying unit for causing an inert gas to be sprayed from a spray aperture provided adjacent to a holding section of the bonding head. The spray aperture is provided so as to surround the holding section of the bonding head, in which a portion of the slits is a wide slit set to a higher jet flow rate of the inert gas than narrow slits of another portion, and the inert gas sprayed from the wide slit and the narrow slits forms an air curtain that surrounds the bonding portion between the semiconductor chip and the substrate. The inert gas sprayed from the wide slit forms a flow that passes between the semiconductor chip and the substrate.

    摘要: A container supplying apparatus includes a supply conveyer conveying containers and a screw engaging with the containers on the supply conveyer and conveying the containers to a downstream side. The screw is divided into an upstream screw and a downstream screw rotationally driven by different servomotors. In a case where no container is supplied to a specific bottle table of a weighing and filling apparatus, the upstream screw is decelerated and is then accelerated relative to the downstream screw. As a result, an interval of the successive containers is expanded, and a large interval is maintained therebetween. This supplies no container to the specific bottle table of the weighing and filling apparatus.

    摘要: A container conveyor system includes a first endless conveyor and a second endless conveyor. The first endless conveyor is provided with a plurality of neck grippers that holds the neck of a capped container and conveys the container held by the neck gripper by moving the neck gripper. The second endless conveyor is provided with a plurality of vertical grippers that comprises an upper grip member, which is liftable and abuts against the top of the cap of the container, and a support plate that supports the base of the container. The second endless conveyor conveys the container held by the upper grip member and the support plate by moving the vertical gripper. The container conveyor system conveys the container by transferring the container between the neck gripper and the vertical gripper.

    摘要: A filling valve for filling liquid into a bottle is provided that comprises a nozzle having an outlet on its bottom end and a seat on its interior surface, a stem arranged inside the nozzle and having a plug provided on its outer periphery, a helical vane provided on the outer periphery of the stem for inducing a spiral flow, and a bevel with expanding diameter in the downward direction is provided at the bottom end of the stem. The filling valve is closed when the stem descends and the plug makes contact with the seat. The filling valve is opened when the stem ascends and the plug separates from the seat. The bevel is extended below the outlet when the plug is opened. The liquid revolved via the helical vane and ejected from the outlet is spread by the bevel toward a bottle finish or neck.

    摘要: An isolator comprises a manipulation chamber isolated from the external atmosphere, a door for opening and closing a portal formed on the manipulation chamber, a linear guide mechanism for guiding a linear motion of a front-side edge of the door along the portal, and a rotation guide mechanism defining a rotation of the door about an axis coinciding with the front-side edge. The door is closed by positioning the front-side edge at the front side of the manipulation chamber, and the door is opened inward into the manipulation chamber by moving the front-side edge toward the back side while rotating the door about the front-side edge.

    摘要: A pumping beam L1 is caused to be incident on an end surface 4A of a nonlinear crystal 4, and a seed beam L2, the diameter of which is increased by a concave lens 6, is collected and adjusted into a collimated beam by a convex lens 7 and caused to be incident on the end surface 4A described above. The pumping beam L1 and the seed beam L2 are caused to be incident on the end surface 4A with the pumping beam L1 and the seed beam L2 superimposed on each other, whereby the nonlinear crystal 4 generates a terahertz wave TH.
