Function Indicators TRIZ Cases

A relay apparatus stores set separation data from an image forming device and forwards it to a post-processing unit via a distinct communication interface.

Load cell weight monitoring tracks remaining prepreg material on dispensing rolls to enable precise roll change timing.

A conveyor shutter slides to open or close a communication hole, regulating negative pressure on the support portion.

Multi-axis bending breaks electrostatic bonds between printing plates and slip-sheets, resolving throughput bottlenecks while preventing surface damage.

An inclined support portion and adjustable opening/closing part angle position the medium centroid upstream, preventing falling from the loading surface.

A supply and separation mechanism uses a movable sending roller with an arc part to transport sheet-like media efficiently.

An interval forming unit creates a detection gap between trailing ends of stacked media to enable accurate optical sensing.

A decurler algorithm increases the gap between indent and soft rolls to prevent sheet wrinkling from ink contamination.

A vertically movable sheet feeding tray adjusts its lowering limit based on detected media length to expand usable sizes.

A pivot holder rotates a pickup roller to adjust contact pressure, preventing multiple sheet jams caused by varying media loads.

A diverter conveyor uses a dual-deck belt system and movable paddles to transport sheets along a main path.

An upstream rotation center positions the abutting surface to press the tail end of the stack, resolving instability caused by increasing sheet counts.

A tilting vacuum transport mechanism diverts plate elements to alternative modules without physical contact.

An optical linear encoder replaces mechanical switches to measure side guide position, enabling continuous detection of any paper size without manual input.

Automated sensor displacement adjusts the light barrier for varying sheet sizes, reducing manual adjustment complexity and downtime.

A document feeding mechanism uses sensor detection and roller reversal to separate overlapping pages during transport.

Pneumatic conveying replaces mechanical flaps to prevent bending and jamming of soft sheet-like workpieces, ensuring reliable sorting at high speeds.

Material sensors in the unstacking device detect plastic or metallic content, allowing the control unit to vary feed speed and prevent multiple item grip.

A document imaging system uses a controller to analyze image data and direct a sorter for precise document placement.

A movable reference fence adjusts its position to align sheets while minimizing edge damage.

Dual detectors measure sheet length to trigger feeding at precise intervals, resolving trailing edge recognition delays that widen gaps between sheets.

A pivoting arm mechanism adjusts driving rollers to release pinching states, enabling straightforward removal of jammed sheets from the return path.

An elastic portion releases a sheet pressing lever when excessive force is applied, preventing breakage during upper unit opening and sheet removal.

A paper transport device uses sound signals to detect jams during normal operation.

Independent torque limiters at each tape reel maintain constant tension between tapes and the winding drum.

A rotating cam shaft in a recording apparatus adjusts the posture of a feed roller support member to change operational force.

A reflector redirects light to suppress erroneous detection from sheet reflections, ensuring accurate foreign object sensing.
