Apparatus for conveying, inspecting and stacking items

摘要: A machine for inspecting, sorting and stacking items includes a plurality of conveyor lanes moving through the machine. An imaging system is arranged relative to view along lanes. reject arrangement downstream selectively actuatable mechanisms, each mechanism associated with respective one enabling be dropped from lane on an individual basis. Items that pass inspection are conveyed stacker, then item stack conveyors before being moved onto side transfer conveyor. controller analyzes image data make determination whether any below defined quality threshold and, if so, control drop out lane.
