AUTOMATIC SORTING DEVICE FOR SORTING SMALL-SIZE PRODUCT ACCORDING TO FORM AND COLOR IN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY, CONFECTIONERY INDUSTRY,ETC.

摘要

PURPOSE: To obtain an automatic sorting machine with high processing speed and capable of accurately recognizing and sorting products from every side and also recognizing even color by constituting the product to rotate about the axial line parallel with the product scanning line while the products pass the light beam path of a color-line camera. CONSTITUTION: An electronic signal concerning a product is obtained by catching the product conveyed by a feeding device by a camera 9. When a deviation of the product is recognized, a removal signal is given and the default product and the product not recognized are removed. At this time the machine is constituted such that the light path 10 of the color line camera 9 is panned in the feeding direction of the product over the predetermined product conveying truck and the product rotates about the axial line parallel with the product scanning line while the product passes the light beam path 10. Consequently the processing speed becomes high, recognition.classification of the product form from every side becomes possible and even color is accurately recognized.
