Sorting Module: Power Supply 24V DC, Accuracy 99.5%

Component Specifications

Definition

A sorting module is an electromechanical component within industrial automation systems that identifies, separates, and directs items or materials based on specific attributes such as size, weight, color, shape, or barcode. It integrates sensors (optical, inductive, capacitive), actuators (pneumatic cylinders, servo motors), and control logic to achieve high-speed, accurate sorting in production lines.

Working Principle

Operates by detecting item characteristics via sensors, processing data through a PLC or embedded controller, and executing mechanical actions (e.g., pushing, diverting, lifting) to route items into designated bins or conveyors.

Materials

Frame: Aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6), Sensors: Polycarbonate housing with stainless steel sensing elements, Actuators: Steel cylinders with polyurethane seals, Electrical components: Copper wiring with PVC insulation.
