A control device that determines tape reference positions having a fixed positional relationship with first origin positions based on first positions of tape feeding devices when leading ends of carrier tapes are detected and the first origin positions of the tape feeding devices immediately before leading end detection. Then, after determination of the tape reference positions, an interval between cavities is calculated based on a detection cycle of transmitted light amounts detected by light being transmitted through empty cavities. In addition, when a phenomenon, in which a detected light amount is equal to or smaller than a threshold, consecutively occurs after calculation of the interval between the cavities, it is detected that components are accommodated in the cavities.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses regarding an improved product dispenser are provided herein. The product dispenser includes a housing and a photoelectric power device disposed on an external surface of the housing. The product dispenser may include a power storage device configured to store energy provided via the photoelectric power device. The product dispenser may also include a motor or pump configured to operate to provide a dispense of the product. The product dispenser components, including the photoelectric power device, the power storage device, and the electric motor may be aligned to operate at a system voltage such that no voltage adjustment relative to an output of the photoelectric power device is needed. This reduces electric power losses. The product dispenser may be configured to perform an installation routine to aid in proper placement of the product dispenser with respect to receiving light for powering the photoelectric power device.

The present disclosure is in one aspect to a dispenser for rolled sheet materials. The dispenser includes a feed roller that is rotatably mounted to a housing of the dispenser housing, and that is configured to feed a predetermined amount of sheet material from the supply of sheet material through a discharge provided along the housing of the dispenser. The dispenser also has a feed roller drive assembly with a drive motor, and a belt transmission assembly. The belt transmission assembly has a drive belt coupled to the drive motor and to the feed roller such that rotation of the feed roller is driven by operation of the drive motor.

A cleaning head is disclosed for use in a traversing shower system. The cleaning head includes a plurality of directional fluid nozzles for discharging a fluid, each of which is provided along a different direction toward a work surface such that no two directions cross one another between the cleaning head and a working surface.

A roll-to-roll web processing system including a web supply roller operative for supplying web material, at least one upstream intermediate roller for receiving the web material from the web supply roller and directing the web material along at least a first web pathway portion, a processing subsystem arranged along at least a second web pathway portion, at least one downstream intermediate roller for receiving the web material from the processing subsystem and directing the web material along a third web pathway portion, and a web take up roller operative for taking up the web material, the first, second and third web pathway portions at least partially delimiting an internal volume interior of the at least one upstream intermediate roller, the processing subsystem and the at least one downstream intermediate roller and the web supply roller and the web take up roller being located in the internal volume.

A feeder, which is used through installation in a mounting machine and which is configured to supply components that a mounting machine mounts on a printed circuit board. The feeder is a second type of feeder which is capable of performing a second aspect component supply operation, and is interchangeable with a first type of feeder which performs a first aspect component supply operation. The feeder is configured to transmit feeder information indicating that the feeder is the first type of feeder and perform the first aspect component supply operation when a request for feeder information is received from the mounting machine by a first command, and transmit feeder information indicating that the feeder is the second type of feeder and perform the second aspect component supply operation when a request for feeder information is received from the mounting machine by a second command.

A device for transporting a strip-type substrate through a reactor includes transport elements for holding the substrate. The transport elements are displaceable by a drive unit in a transport direction. The transport elements have first transport beams and second transport beams that engage in alternation on the substrate, in which the transport beams that engage the substrate move in the transport direction and the transport beams that do not engage the substrate move in a reverse direction opposite to the transport direction. The device further includes transport carriages that are arranged in pairs in the transport direction respectively upstream and downstream of the reactor.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for folding and winding a predetermined length of non-woven fabric used for the industrial production of moistened wipes. The apparatus for folding and winding a predetermined length of non-woven fabric from a roll wound on a core is mounted on a countertop, equipped with a housing, provided with a drive unit. Mounted on a hub (1) is a cylinder (2), to which eccentrically attached are rods (3) from which at a certain distance is mounted a linear feed (4). The hub assembly (1) with the cylinder (2) with the rods (3) and the linear feed (4) can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
