Abstract
A machine for positioning objects, comprising a first conveyor belt configured to receive a plurality of objects; computer vision means configured to identify the position and shape of the objects; robotic collection means configured to collect the objects; and exit means configured to allow exiting of the objects. The machine comprises a rotary transfer track arranged in a closed circuit around two rotating axes; and a plurality of transfer elements attached to the rotary transfer track, configured to receive the objects. The rotary transfer track is configured to produce a rotary movement of the transfer elements around the two rotating axes, and a rectilinear movement thereof between the two rotating axes.
Claims22
Machine for positioning objects, comprising:
- a first conveyor belt set to receive a plurality of objects;
- machine vision means set to identify the position and shape of objects arranged on the first conveyor belt;
- robotic collection means set to pick up the objects from the first conveyor belt according to the information received from the machine vision means;
- and
- output means set to allow the output of said objects;
- said machine characterized in that it comprises:
- a rotating transfer track formed by a rotating conveyor belt and arranged in a closed circuit around rotating axes;
- and
- a plurality of transfer elements attached to the rotating transfer track along it, set to receive the objects coming from the robotic collection means and deliver said objects to the output means;
- where said rotating transfer track is set to produce a rotary movement of the transfer elements around the two rotating axes, and a rectilinear movement thereof between said two rotating axes.
