Sorting three types of parts running on a conveyor and packing them in pallets

Epson robots were displayed at the 2008 Automotive Parts Product Solution Fair

Let's see an example of an automated system that uses an Epson robot.

System features

Three different types of small, wafer-like workpieces are running together on a conveyor.
An image processing system detects the type, location, and rotational position of each workpiece. A robot then sorts the workpieces as it places them on a second conveyor. A second robot packs the workpieces in trays.
No other positioning device or loading pallet are necessary.
