Length inspection, diameter inspection, and sorting of mixed parts is usually not a challenge for a Roll Sorter. Customer's desiring super precision inspection and sorting to tight tolerances drove our company to develop a Roll Sorter with such a capability.<br /><br />The problem with mechanical sorting on a Roll Sorter has always been controlling the quality of the rollers, their roundness, and total indicated runout. CDS Manufacturing developed a <a href="http://www.cdsmanufacturing.com/store.asp?pid=8801&amp;catid=19686">Precision</a> <a href="http://www.cdsmanufacturing.com/store.asp?pid=8801&amp;catid=19686">Roll Sorter </a>that is equipped with .000005" TIR rollers. Yes, I said 5 millionths total indicated runout. Attaining rollers of such quality is challenge enough but eliminating any other sources of runout has been just as difficult. We designed a roller support system that all but eliminates any additional runout making length sorting, diameter sorting, and the like faster and more efficient than ever.<br /><br />I don't know yet how we'll make it even better, but I am sure we'll figure something out. We always do.<br /><br />Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Roll Sorters.<br /><br />Frank W.
