Model Analysis and Computer Simulation Study for Feeders of the High-Speed Package Sorter

In this paper, the working process of package feeders in high-speed package sorter is discussed. By applying appropriate simplifications, feeder mathematic model is created. Then by doing the simulation and analysis, it is discovered that a sorter should companion with multi feeders; and that buffer- stage should be equipped to selected feeders according to the position of each along the carrier's moving path. The research provides a scientific method for devising package feeder configuration afterwards.
