Abstract

The sorter consists of a conveyor (2) which carries the articles (E) to be sorted past a robot-controlled sorting post (3), where they are directed into appropriate containers (4). The sorting post comprises at least one robot arm (9) with a gripper (10), an artificial eye (8) which determines the position of articles on the belt and partially recognises their nature, and a complementary detection system (12) with one or more sensors to complete the identification of the articles. The data processing unit (15) processes the information from the artificial eye and sensors and causes the robot arm to pick up selected articles and drop them into the containers (4). The robot arm is of variable geometry, and the data processing unit has a computer which can recognise objects and their positions from the information provided and direct the arm to pick them up.
