Abstract
A full-auto labeling system having sending-in conveyor, a weighing conveyor and a sticking conveyor disposed in alignment, and the respective conveyors provided with sensors for detecting a commodity, so as to control an operation of a load cell with outputs of the sensors providing the basis of an improvement which consists of a load cell periodically operated even when no commodity is being transported, whereby when a measurement value becomes necessary a stable operation can be immediately performed, and that A/D conversion by the load cell is executed twice with a single start signal, a second output being taken as the measurement value, whereby the measurement value of high reliability can be obtained.
Claims6
In a full-auto labeling system having a sending-in conveyor;
- a weighing conveyor to which a load cell is joined;
- a sticking conveyor which is disposed along a label printer equipped with a sticking mechanism are disposed in alignment, whereby the three conveyors have their operations controlled independently of one another;
- and sensors for detecting a commodity on said conveyors are disposed for each respective conveyor, whereby operations of said load cell and the respective conveyors are controlled by combinations of outputs of said sensors and short-time timers, the improvement comprising load cell starting means which starts said load cell operation every predetermined time period during a time interval when there is no output from said sensor of said weighing conveyor characterized in that even when no output of the sensor exists, said load cell is started every predetermined period.
