摘要： A visual inspection system is integrated within a pulp molding process to identify holes, tears, and discoloration of molded products based upon front- and/or back-lit images captured by one or more cameras that have been calibrated to distinguish, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, the aforementioned defects. The system is configured to simultaneously move and process information about the entire batch of products produced by the press and, optionally, to provide feedback to the original molding process in order to address quality issues.

摘要： A system for processing scrap material that includes a variable-power electromagnetic drum separator wherein shredded scrap material is placed in free fall at a position proximate the electromagnetic drum separator. A first fraction of the scrap material is attracted to the electromagnetic drum separator and is carried under the rotational axis of the electromagnetic drum separator thereby separating the first fraction of material from a second fraction of the material which continues to free fall and wherein the first fraction is a low-copper ferrous material with the second fraction having a higher non-ferrous content than the first fraction. A magnetic drum separator may be positioned upstream of the variable-power electromagnetic drum separator and be used to separate non-ferrous materials. The variable-power electromagnetic drum separator may be adjusted so that the second fraction includes some ferrous material. A robotic picker may be used to remove undesirable materials from the second fraction.

摘要： It A waste sorting robot (100) comprises a manipulator (101) moveable within a working area (102). A gripper (103) is connected to the manipulator (101) and arranged to selectively grip a waste object (104, 104a, 104b, 104c) in the working area (102). A controller (108) is in communication with a sensor (107) and is configured to receive detected object parameters, and determine a throw trajectory (109) of the gripped waste object (104) towards a target position (106) based on the detected object parameters of the gripped waste object (104). The controller (108) is configured to send control instructions to the gripper (103) and/or manipulator (101) so that the gripper (103) and/or manipulator (101) accelerates the gripped waste object (104) and releases the waste object (104) at a throw position with a throw velocity and throw angle towards the target position (106) so that the waste object (104) is thrown along the determined throw trajectory (109). A related method of controlling a waste robot is also disclosed.

摘要： The invention discloses a panel sorting device. The panel sorting device comprises a placement rack, an alignment device, and a classification robotic arm. The placement rack has multiple layers. Each layer of the placement rack places at least one panel according to the sequence with specification at corresponding position. The alignment device is used to obtain the positional deviation of the panel moved on a production line. Wherein, the classification robotic arm corrects the panel position based on the information of the positional deviation acquired by the alignment device, and places the panel in accordance with its sequence and specification to the corresponding position in the layer of the placement rack. To implement the panel sorting device of this present invention can quickly grab the panel and automatically sort according to the product's specifications. As a result, improve the efficiency of automated handling and production yield, and reduce costs and save installation space.
