Automatic sorting and handling system

Applications based on robotic handling solve many problems in different areas, especially in the food, pharmaceutical, plastics, building materials, or logistics applications. The paper presents an automatic electropneumatic system for manipulation and sorting of parts according to color. The system is taught to sort two kinds of pieces, both white and black. Pieces of different types arrive at the input stock and are picked up by a manipulating robot, then stored in two output stocks according to color.
