- feeding module (motor-driven feed wheel feeding the product from the feeder to rotary table);
- positioning module (motor-driven glass rotary table for product positioning in the camera’s field of view);
- photo module (high-aperture lens camera and proximity sensor);
- lighting module (dome-type LED light source);
- sorting module (air-operated valve with a nozzle and two containers for defective and good products, defective products are blown by a compressed air jet into the scrap container and good products are transferred into the good product container through a guide bar);
- control unit module (electrical control cabinet where the following components are installed: power supply, terminal strips, digital input/output control module, computational server);
- control panel module (operator touch panel with at least 12 inch responsive screen);
- frame module (the frame is made of interconnected structural aluminum shapes).
Modular design allows further expansion/upgrade of the following modules:
- change from a single camera (one side of product inspection) to multiple camera system (from 2 to 8 cameras) in the photo module; availability of a transparent glass rotary table allows to take photographs of the product base parts;
- install a module to count good and defective products not only by software-based, but also by hardware-based method using an air-operated limiter (e.g. for automatic product picking into boxes);
- use defect type sorting module (based on deep learning algorithms); the additional containers shall be added to the sorting module.
The final requirements for appearance, design and configuration of system modules are specified in the Terms of Reference.
