PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sliced food positioning apparatus capable of appropriately accommodating sliced food in a packaging container at a prescribed position by correcting a subtle misalignment of sliced food, especially a misalignment in a width direction whose correction has been difficult in the past, with a high degree of precision.SOLUTION: The width direction positioning apparatus 1 includes: the first conveying means 14 configured by winding a plurality of round belts 11 around a pair of winding means 12 and 13 disposed at a predetermined interval in a conveying direction, in which the winding means 13 on the front side is installed in a manner to be able to move in a width direction the first sensors 16 and 17 that detect a predetermined position on both sides in a width direction on the first conveying means 14 in the front of the first conveying means 14, and detect an edge in a width direction of the sliced food that has shifted to a width direction from a normal position and the first control means that, when the first sensors 16 and 17 have detected the edge of the sliced food, moves the winding means 13 in the front in a direction opposite to the side where they have detected the edge.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】スライス食品の微妙なずれ、特に従来困難であった幅方向のずれを精度よく修正して、所定位置の包装容器に的確に収容することが可能なスライス食品位置合わせ装置を提供すること。【解決手段】搬送方向に所定間隔をあけて配置された一対の捲回手段12,13に複数本の丸ベルト11を捲回して構成されると共に前側の捲回手段13が幅方向に移動可能に設置された第1搬送手段14と、第1搬送手段14の前部において、第1搬送手段14上の幅方向両側の所定位置を検知し、正常位置から幅方向にずれたスライス食品の幅方向端部を感知する第1センサ16,17と、第1センサ16,17がスライス食品端部を感知した場合、感知した側と逆方向に前側の捲回手段13を移動させる第1制御手段と、を具備する幅方向位置合わせ装置1である。【選択図】図1
