Method and apparatus for automatically inspecting and classifying different objects

摘要: Univeral conveying apparatus and method for automated inspection classification of a variety natural or man made product classes, having various geometrical configurations, e.g. spheroidal, spherical, cylindrical, parallelepiped, disc plate shaped objects, massive hollow amophous objects. Incorporating plurality sensors interfaced to microcomputers, measuring different features, while predetermined combinations thereof are used separating the objects products, into categories. Part stationary, another part located rotating on revolving inverter wheels. The stationary sensor groups respectively one more attached microcomputers electrically interconnected via slip rings, shafts Conveing system incorporates inversion, providing means computer vision both sides rapidly moving two synchronized bottomless cup tray conveyors, stacked top other, wheels with reciprocating grippers, transfer invert inspected from conveyor other. Combines by reflected and/or transmitted radiation, self radiation if any, in concert other sensors. Some intermittently contact engage cups trays, controlled force pressure. grippers may be rigid, flexible semiflexible. They incorporate actuators mechanical properties products probe connectors electrical functionality analysis.
