Abstract: Described is a sorting machine comprising: a plurality of carriages (2), each carriage (2) comprising a loading-unloading device (3) which can be selectively activated for loading-unloading an object (0) from the carriage (2) and an electronic unit (4) configured to receive and analyse a loading-unloading signal and actuate the loading-unloading device (3) as a function of an operating mode, selected from a plurality of operating modes and uniquely associated with the loading-unloading signal; a plurality of loading stations (9) and a plurality of unloading stations (10) positioned along a sorting direction (X) comprising respective actuating units (11) configured to generate the loading-unloading signal.Each carriage (2) comprises a permanent magnet (4c) which generates a stationary magnetic field and each actuating unit (11) comprises a Hall effect transducer (12) configured to detect the presence of the stationary magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet (4c).

Abstract: Described is a control method for sorting machines (1) comprising a plurality of carriages (2), each carriage (2) comprising a loading-unloading device (3) which can be selectively activated for loading-unloading an object (O) from the carriage (2) and an electronic unit (4) configured to receive and analyse a digital signal (20), includes the steps of: moving the carriage (2) along a sorting direction (X) having a plurality of loading stations (9) and a plurality of unloading stations (10) each comprising respective inductors (11); generating by means of the inductors (11) a magnetic field with a variable frequency modulating the digital signal (20) uniquely associated with an operating mode selected from a plurality of operating modes, the digital signal (20) comprising a bit string; transmitting, by electromagnetic induction, the digital signal (20) to the electronic unit (4) of the carriage (2); receiving the digital signal (20) at the electronic unit (4) and activating the loading-unloading device (3) according to operating mode uniquely associated with the digital signal (20) received from the electronic unit (4).
