FLAT OBJECT SORTING MACHINE HAVING HETEROGENEOUS PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS, AND METHOD OF SORTING THESE FLAT OBJECTS

摘要

A sorting machine (1) for flat objects (100, 101) having heterogeneous physical characteristics, comprising sorting outlets equipped with stackers (3) controlled by a control / control unit according to a plurality of programs each allocated to a predefined type of flat objects (100, 101) having predetermined physical characteristics and setting predetermined operating parameters such as in particular the pitch between said flat objects (100, 101), the conveying speed of said flat objects (100, 101). ), the sorting machine (1) comprising means for determining the predetermined physical characteristics of each flat object (101) arriving in said stacker (3), said control / control unit being arranged after determination to assign a predefined type of flat objects to said flat object (101) arriving in said stacker (3) and activating said corresponding unstacking program to apply function parameters predetermined when stacking said incoming flat object (101).
