Abstract
Conveyor system may comprise conveyor mechanism(s) provided with transport path(s) along which conveyed object(s) are conveyed to transport destination(s); electric current detector(s) and/or abnormality detector(s) that detect triggering event(s) which may be event(s) occurring at conveyor mechanism(s) due to conveyed object(s) during transport of conveyed object(s); and removal processor(s) that, when triggering event(s) detected by electric current detector(s) and/or abnormality detector(s) satisfy triggering condition(s), cause conveyed object(s) to be transported by conveyor mechanism(s) to removal area(s) which are not transport destination(s).
Claims20
A conveyor system comprising:
- a conveyor mechanism provided with a transport path along which a first conveyed object is conveyed to a prescribed transport destination;
- an event detector that detects a preestablished triggering event which is an event occurring at the conveyor mechanism due to the first conveyed object during transport of the first conveyed object;
- and
- a removal processor that, when the triggering event detected by the event detector satisfies a preestablished triggering condition, causes the first conveyed object to be transported by the conveyor mechanism to a removal area which is not the transport destination.
