SPHERICAL PART SORTING



Ever seen a round ball travel up hill. Impossible right? Well, sort of....


CDS Manufacturing designs and builds automatic inspection equipment to sort spherical parts by the quality of the sphere. Parts are fed from a bulk hopper to a vibratory inspection surface. Parts with flats, doubles, clusters, tear drops, etc... feel the effects of the vibration while the vibratory action of the inspection surface has little effect on the roundest product. Round parts


down hill.... flats, doubles, clusters, etc.... vibrate up hill... Get the picture? Throughput on a 5 up system is estimated at over 200,000 parts per minute !! It's an amazing product and has filled a long awaited need for manufacturers of solar energy products, and electronics manufacturers who pack out their chips and the like in spherical media.
