- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are best for end-effector wear surfaces in high-volume sorting?
**A**: For high-volume applications, stainless steel offers superior durability, while engineering plastics provide excellent wear resistance with reduced noise and product damage.

### Q: How do I select between aluminum alloy and carbon fiber composite for gate blades?
**A**: Choose aluminum alloy for cost-effective lightweight applications requiring moderate strength. Select carbon fiber composite for maximum strength-to-weight ratio in high-speed sorting systems.

### Q: What maintenance is required for actuation linkages in sorting mechanisms?
**A**: Regular lubrication of pivot points, inspection for wear on contact pads, and alignment checks of mounting interfaces ensure optimal performance and longevity.
