A winding device includes a winding portion that winds a continuous medium, a friction roller that contacts the continuous medium while the continuous medium is being fed to the winding portion and that applies friction resistance to the continuous medium, and a roller driving portion that causes the friction roller to rotate in a direction in which the continuous medium is fed, in which the roller driving portion includes a roller gear train that transmits rotation of a feed motor, which is input via a winding-portion gear train, to the friction roller.

To provide a medicine inspection system capable of appropriately outputting an inspection result while minimizing damage and the like to a packaging bag and a medicine. A medicine inspection system 10 includes an inspection device 20 which inspects a numerical quantity and/or a type of a medicine contained in a packaging bag p based on an image photographed of the packaging bag p to be inspected, and a marking device 50 which records an inspection result from the inspection device on the packaging bag p. After the packaging bag p, which has a seal section S formed by pressure bonding an overlapping portion of a packaging paper, is inspected at the inspection device 20, a stamp which indicates the inspection result thereof is output by a marking device 50 onto the seal section S.
