PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet manufacturing method by which the low control precision attributed to the asymmetry of response by a thermal sheet thickness adjusting means is upgraded in a simple way as well as a sheet thickness control device. SOLUTION: This sheet thickness control device used in the sheet manufacturing process is of such a function that a polymer is extruded in the shape of a sheet with the help of a die equipped with a plurality of thermal thickness adjusting means and the extrusions are molded into the sheet of a desired thickness and further, the thickness distribution in the width direction, of the sheet is measured and an amount of heat to be applied to the thermal thickness adjusting means is controlled based on the measurements. In this control device the amount of heat is applied to the thermal thickness adjusting means in such a manner that the variation of the amount of heat to be applied to the thermal thickness adjusting means shows that it is greater when the amount of heat is decreased compared to the case when the amount of heat is increased.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve detection sensitivity and accuracy by using a light reception means including a photoconductor with a reflection means at a non-light- reception surface side and a photoconductor with a rough face part at least at one portion of a surface. SOLUTION: The detection device of the defect of the surface or inside of a sheet 1 such as a plastic film is composed by equipping a reflection means such as an aluminum deposition film 24 in a photoconductor 21 for receiving diffusion light (b) being generated by a defect 5 caused by laser beams or the like from a light source part. Then, for example, while the sheet 1 is being run by a take-up roll, scanning is made in a specific direction by light beams (a) from a laser light source. The diffusion light (b) from the defect 5 entering the photoconductor 21 is detected by a photomultiplier or the like while repeating reflection or the like, but the leakage of the scattered light (b) is reduced by the aluminum deposition film 24 at the non-light-reception surface side for improving light reception efficiency. Even if at least one portion of the surface of the photoconductor 21 is set to a rough face part with a specific roughness, surface reflection can be suppressed, thus obtaining the same effect.

SOLUTION: The light emitted from an irradiating means 1 is irradiated to the paint coated face of an object 4 coated with a paint. The light reflected on the coated face is received by a receiving means 2 and converted into an analog electric signal, and the analog electric signal is fed to an image processing means 3. The analog electric signal is A/D-converted by the image processing means 3, a received image is formed from the converted signal, a moving average process is applied to the received image to remove noises by an arithmetic means 6 in an image processing means, a double differential process is applied to emphasize defects, then a binalization process is applied. The number of picture elements having a high concentration value is obtained from the result of the binalization process, defects of the paint occurring on the coated face are extracted, and the quality of the paint is judged. A method for calculating the area and length of an image group having a high concentration value is also preferably used other than the method for calculating the number of picture elements having a high concentration value.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the labor and time for an inspection by applying shearing stress to a color paste, and evaluating and inspecting the generated coagulation by image processing. SOLUTION: A color paste 20 applied with shearing stress by a rotor is collected on an microscopic plate 10, it is arranged on a microscope 11, and transmitted illumination is radiated to the microscopic plate 10. The light transmitting the color paste 20 in the microscopic plate 10 is collected by a camera 13 above the microscope 11. The signal loaded into the camera 13 is A/D- converted and loaded into an image processing device 14, and image data and the dispersion value of the variable density value of all picture elements of image data are displayed on a monitor 15. When the variable density value is measured and the dispersion value is calculated, the ratio of the occurrence of coagulation when the color paste 20 is applied can be evaluated. This inspecting method can be conducted without applying the color paste 20, and the time and labor required for the inspection can be sharply decreased.
