Abstract
A transporting apparatus includes a pressurizing roller that transports a web-like or sheet-like transport target object and a heating roller disposed downstream of the pressurizing roller in a transport path, a first bottom sensor and a first top sensor that are disposed between the pressurizing roller and the heating roller, a measuring section that measures a time from when the transport target object is detected by the first bottom sensor until the transport target object is detected by the first top sensor, and a rotation control section that modifies a rotation speed of the heating roller when a time measured by the measuring section is shorter than a first reference time.
Claims12
A transporting apparatus comprising:
- a first roller that transports a web-like or sheet-like transport target object and a second roller disposed downstream of the first roller in a transport path of the transport target object;
- a first detection section and a second detection section that are disposed between the first roller and the second roller in the transport path, the first detection section being provided on one side in the transport path and the second detection section being provided on another side in the transport path;
- a measuring section that measures a time from when the transport target object is detected by the first detection section until the transport target object is detected by the second detection section;
- and
- a rotation control section that modifies a rotation speed of the second roller when the time measured by the measuring section is shorter than a first reference time.
A fibrous feedstock recycling apparatus comprising:
- a forming section that forms a web-like or sheet-like processing target object from a feedstock containing fibers;
- a processing section that processes the processing target object;
- and
- a transport section that transports the processing target object from the forming section to the processing section,
- wherein the transport section includes
- a first roller that transports the processing target object and a second roller disposed downstream of the first roller in a transport path of the processing target object,
- a first detection section and a second detection section that are disposed between the first roller and the second roller in the transport path of the processing target object, the first detection section being provided on one side in the transport path and the second detection section being provided on another side in the transport path,
- a measuring section that measures a time from when the processing target object is detected by the first detection section until the processing target object is detected by the second detection section, and
- a rotation control section that modifies a rotation speed of the second roller when the time measured by the measuring section is shorter than a first reference time.
A transporting method of transporting a web-like or sheet-like transport target object using a first roller that transports the transport target object and a second roller disposed downstream of the first roller in a transport path of the transport target object in which a first detection section and a second detection section are disposed between the first roller and the second roller in the transport path, the first detection section being provided on one side in the transport path and the second detection section being provided on another side in the transport path, the method comprising:
- a first step of measuring a time from when the transport target object is detected by the first detection section until the transport target object is detected by the second detection section;
- and
- a second step of modifying a rotation speed of the second roller when the time measured in the first step is shorter than a first reference time.
