    摘要: Disclosed herein are a substrate sorter, an inspection and sorting system having the substrate sorter, and a method for the inspection and sorting system. The substrate sorter includes an annular gripper comprising a rotator and a plurality of vacuum applicators concyclically disposed around an axis, a carrier operable to move a substrate towards the rotator and into a loading region below the rotator, and an actuator coupled with the annular gripper and operable to rotate the rotator about the axis relative to the plurality of vacuum applicators while one or more of the plurality of vacuum applicators hold the substrate against the rotator.

    摘要: A system and method for sorting items. the system and method including a control arrangement configured to receive information about at least one item to be sorted. a track arrangement including at least one sort location, and at least one sorter carrier. wherein the or each sorter carrier is configured to move along the track arrangement and carry an item to be sorted, and the or each sorter carrier further includes a discharge arrangement configured to discharge the item to be sorted. Additionally, a sorter carrier is provided. Sorting systems and methods configured to use independently controlled sorting carriers which travel through a framework to sorting destinations on one or more levels. wherein the sorter carriers are configured to vary the point at which they discharge an item, the system further including a system controller which is configured to use the item dimensions and position on the sorting carriers to calculate the discharge position in the framework for the sorting carrier to discharge the item allowing a high density of filling of the chute.

    摘要: A bulk sorting system for sorting objects in bulk is provided. The bulk sorting system includes: at least one radiation source arranged to radiate the objects, at least one optical sensor arranged to capture reflected radiation of the objects and acquire the reflected radiation as multi- or hyperspectral data; a processing circuit configured to analyze the reflected radiation of the objects by inputting the multi- or hyperspectral data into a convolutional neural network (CNN) with at least two convolutional layers in order to either detect and classify the objects in the multi- or hyperspectral data and/or semantically segment the multi- or hyperspectral data; and a mechanical sorter configured to sort the objects according to their classification and/or segmentation using the analysis of the processing circuit such that different overlapping and/or stacked objects are separated or treated as a single group of objects.

    摘要: An air knife includes a housing having a first end, a second end spaced from the first end in a longitudinal direction, a side wall extending from the first end to the second end, an interior, an entrance aperture configured to be connected to a source of pressurized air to increase a pressure of air inside the housing and an exit aperture. A nozzle is located at the exit aperture and has a nozzle inlet in fluid communication with the exit aperture and also has a nozzle outlet. A plurality of baffles are located in the interior of the nozzle, and each of the baffles is angled relative to the longitudinal direction. Also an assembly of a plurality of the air knives.
