SPHERICAL PARTS SORTING EQUIPMENT

Yes. A round ball can roll up hill. Well sort of...

CDS Manufacturing designs and builds automatic equipment to sort spherical parts according to the quality of the sphere. Parts are fed from a bulk hopper to a vibratory inspection surface that separates the roundest product from parts with flats, doubles, clusters, foreign material, etc... Imperfect parts feel the effects of the vibratory surface while the roundest parts do not. Get the picture? Parts with flats, doubles, clusters, foreign materials, etc... are fed out the end of the system while the roundest parts roll off the other end. It's an amazing product that has found a home with solor energy product manufacturers and electronic component manufacturers who package their parts in round media. Their 5-up system inspects parts at an estimated rate of over 200,000 parts per hour !! Contact CDS Manufacturing for more info.....

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.

Automatic Vision Inspection System

Vision Inspection Machinery

Many inspection and sorting operations once thought to be strictly manual tasks have been made more efficient and economical with the use of vision systems. CDS Manufacturing has built many vision inspection machines for a wide variety of parts. Vision system manufacturers have made the integration and operation of this flexible technology simpler than ever, but looking at the parts with a camera is only half of the challenge.

Recently, we received an order for an automatic inspection system to sort ceramic fuse bodies for overall length. It is amazing to think that such an operation in this day and age is still done manually. Perhaps it is because many people can sort many parts in an hour whereas an automatic system may not be able to achieve an adequate throughput rate to keep up with production...Until now. CDS Manufacturing designed and built an automatic vision inspection machine to length sort these parts at a rate of 225 parts per minute. Achieving a part per minute rate that still allowed for inspection and by a vision system was kind of tricky though. Vision system cameras need to distinguish one part from another, so part separation is necessary. On the fly part gating is required to separate good and reject parts, and consistent orientation and part stability are equally as important.

The system that we developed achieved all of this, and more. We designed the system to feed the fuse bodies in a constant orientation to a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt fed parts at a greater inches per minute rate than the orientation track. Thus, part separation was achieved for vision inspection of the length of the part. The final product has proven to be a fast and efficient method for length inspection, and the customer couldn't be happier with their investment.
