<p>An apparatus for automatic remodelling of an article processing system which may be provided with a filler (A) and a capper (B), for example, inhibits the operation of the article processing system unless a remodelling operation of all the article processing means (A,B-N) have taken place in a normal manner. When the variety of an article is changed, and therefore a remodelling operation is required, a main controller (P) provides a signal designating the variety of another article to each of sub-controllers (AP) associated with the filler (A) and the capper (B). The sub-controller (AP) associated with the filler (A) selects remodelling data which corresponds to the variety of the article, and controls associated drive means (A21,A22-A2n) in accordance with such data to move remodelling means (A11,A12-A1n) to a given position. When the movement of all the remodelling means (A11,A12-A1n) to given positions is detected by detecting means (A31,A32-A3n), a remodelling complete signal is delivered from the respective sub-controllers (AP) to the main controller (P). A similar operation takes place also in the capper (B), and when the remodelling complete signals are received by the main controller (P) from all of the subcontrollers (AP), the operation of the article processing system is enabled. <IMAGE></p> |
