Abstract
A bag supply apparatus supplies a bag to a packaging machine for performing a packaging process to a bag containing a content. The bag supply apparatus includes a transfer apparatus, a detection apparatus, a takeout apparatus, and a delivery apparatus. The transfer apparatus transfers a bag containing the content, with its bag mouth being not yet sealed, in substantially a horizontal posture and along substantially a width direction of the bag, to a takeout area. The detection apparatus detects a bag on the transfer apparatus upstream of the takeout area. The takeout apparatus takes out a bag from the takeout area, with sandwiching both side edges of the bag positioned in the takeout area by a pair of sandwiching members. The delivery apparatus delivers a bag to the packaging machine. The takeout apparatus holds a bag based on a predicted position and an inclination of the bag, the predicted position being calculated from a transfer speed of the transfer apparatus and a difference between a current time and a time at which the bag was detected by the detection apparatus, and the inclination of the bag being calculated from a detection result of the detection apparatus.
