When a portion for measuring the plating adhesion amount reaches an upstream side position, plating adhesion amount estimation values are calculated by using a plating adhesion amount estimation expression at positions away from a position that faces the distance sensors, that is, the upstream side position, by strip-width direction distances, of the surfaces of the steel strip. When the portion for measuring the plating adhesion amount reaches a downstream side position, the strip-width direction distances of the plating adhesion amount meters are matched to the strip-width direction distances, and the plating adhesion amount actual measurement values are obtained. The plating adhesion amount estimation expression is corrected on the basis of the differences between the plating adhesion amount estimation values and the plating adhesion amount actual measurement values. Accordingly, the control accuracy of the plating adhesion amount is improved.

The invention belongs to the field of automatic equipment technology, and discloses a spot gluing, feeding and cutting automata for horn assembly, wherein products are transported and delivered through an automatic feeding and cutting module for horns and horn hoods; horns and horn hoods are grabbed onto a bearing platform module by a grabbing module; circular spot gluing is done by a gluing module and a carrier module; and finally horn disks are automatically assembled by an unloading module with defective products removed. Different workstations perform their duties and work closely together, so as to realize the automatic delivery of products, automatic assembly of horns into horn hoods, automatic gluing, and automatic assembly and recovery of horn disks. The automata features high efficiency, stable quality, high degree of automation, good effect, low production cost, and convenient, simple and fast use.

A wheel design face in a three-dimensional shape is decorated only with a two-dimensional move of one of a discharge nozzle and a holding member, and inclination of the other one of the discharge nozzle and the holding member.

A vehicle wheel decoration method includes a setting step of detachably holding a wheel body in the holding member such that the wheel design face faces the discharge nozzle, and a decoration step of forming a decorative layer on the wheel design face by discharging paint from a discharge opening of the discharge nozzle toward the wheel design face while relatively moving the discharge nozzle in two directions which extend along the wheel design face and cross each other with respect to the wheel design face of the wheel body held in the holding member, and, in the decoration step, the wheel body is relatively inclined in a direction which crosses moving directions toward the two directions by a relative move of one of the discharge nozzle and the holding member or relative moves of both of the discharge nozzle and the holding member, and the discharge opening of the discharge nozzle is relatively moved in the two directions along the wheel design face, a distance from the discharge opening to the wheel design face falling within a predetermined range.

To provide a joined member manufacturing apparatus, a method for manufacturing a joined member, and a method for manufacturing a member on which an applied material has been applied, with which it is possible to apply an applied material even in cases where a projection is present in the vicinity of an outer side of an application width of an applied material to be applied on an application target surface. A joined member manufacturing apparatus includes an application device including die head 10 having a distance between the ejection port forming groove and an outer edge of the first opposing face at a portion where an ejection port is formed being 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm, a first suction stage 20A, a second suction stage 20B, an ultraviolet irradiator 45 configured to radiate an ultraviolet ray, a chamber 51 formed to have a size enabling the chamber 51 to accommodate the first and second suction stages 20A and 20B at the same time, the chamber 51 being configured such that a degree of vacuum inside the chamber 51 is adjustable by an operation of a vacuum pump 53, where the applied material G is configured such that viscosity of the applied material G changes when the applied material G is irradiated with an ultraviolet ray.

A sealant dispenser comprising a chassis adapted to carry a supply of sealant dispensable through a nozzle; at least one drive wheel to directionally propel said chassis; and a detection system carried by said chassis to determine a location to dispense sealant through said nozzle and controlling direction of said at least one drive wheel to position said nozzle.

Apparatus and methods of seasoning food product in a mechanized food product line advantageously seasons the food product in cartons or containers therefor so that the number of days or so of shipment from the process plant to destinations like grocery stores does double duty as time for the seasoning to be absorbed. Food product can be loaded into containers, which are placed on a conveyor line and passed under a seasoning dispenser which thereby applies a top coat. The containers are conveyed to shrink wrap stations or like packaging closure processes, then to refrigerated or freezer storage and onward by refrigerated or freezer motor vehicles. The dispensing apparatus has metering provisions for application of a measured amount and a controller for switching the dispenser ON as a container passes underneath and then OFF as the container goes past.
