OPTICAL SORTING IN-FEED
GWI’s custom In-Feed systems are engineered to provide the stable, consistent product launch required for high-speed inspection. This technology focuses on product singulation, ensuring that items are separated and leveled before entering the inspection zone. Whether using vibratory feeders or specialized belt-fed systems, GWI provides the mechanical foundation to ensure your sensors have a clear, unobstructed line-of-sight for every piece of product.
GWI’s high-precision in-feed systems are designed to eliminate “shingling” and product overlapping. By facilitating a perfect monolayer flow, our systems ensure that every individual defect is fully exposed to the cameras, maximizing both detection accuracy and ejection reliability.
Efficiency Benefits:
- Optimized for Singulation: Engineered to space products at high speeds, ensuring each item is scanned individually without interference from neighboring pieces.
- Controlled Trajectory: Our systems are calibrated to deliver a steady, predictable launch into the sorting zone, allowing for more accurate air-jet ejections and higher yields.
- Maximized Throughput: By delivering a non-turbulent, steady stream, GWI’s in-feed systems reduce false rejects and keep your sorting line running at peak capacity.
