Sorting machines

Over 20 years of experience in the development of test technologies – customer-oriented and innovative – are used in the GPP testing and sorting machines. Manufacturers of various fasteners and precision parts, of metallic or non-metallic material, for different industries, are users of these sorting machines for 100% inspection. The testing and sorting machines work with the proven GPP testing software gppSORT . The machines can be networked so that central evaluations of quality data and administration of test programs are possible.

The sorting machines differ in particular with regard to the reception and transport of the parts and their complexity.

GPP offers the following spectrum:

Sorting machines profiSORT are typically used for the control and sorting of rotationally symmetrical, shaft-heavy precision parts, such as screws, bolts, rivets.

  • Machine classes according to parts spectrum:
    • Shank diameter 3 … 6 mm, length & lt; 90mm
    • Shank diameter 6 … 16 mm, length & lt; 180mm
    • Special sizes for longer parts up to 300mm
    • Special sizes for shaft diameter less than 3mm
  • Available test stations:
    • Shaft Camera Systems (Side Camera)
    • Head Camera Systems (Top Camera)
    • Thread measurement according to DIN
    • concentricity Control
    • straightness
    • 360 ° surface inspection, also for thread
    • Eddy current inspection
    • eddy current structure test
    • mechanical intervention check
  • Additional features:
    • Continuous or clocked operation
    • High test speed – depending on geometry and configuration
    • Monitoring of part ejection
    • Control of customer-specific packaging equipment

 

preciSORT-GT GPP sorting machines are precision engine selection machines wit glass plate. They serve the quality inspection of metallic and non-metallic small parts.

  • Available test stations:
    • Shaft Camera Systems (Side Camera)
    • Head Camera Systems (Top Camera)
    • Thread measurement according to DIN
    • 360 ° surface inspection, also for interior and exterior surfaces
    • eddy current structure test
  • Additional features:
    • high test speed – depending on geometry and configuration
    • Monitoring of part ejection
    • Control of customer-specific packaging equipment

 

GPP sorting machines with glass angle are mostly used for precision parts without a head.

    • classification:
      • Simple machines:
        • 2 shaft camera systems (side camera)
        • for quick check of diameter and length
      • complex machines:
        • 2 shaft camera systems (side camera)
        • Head camera system (top camera) for roundness
        • Under head testing
        • Center axis offset for bolts between shaft and head
        • eddy current structure test

       

    • Additional features:
      • high test speed – depending on geometry and configuration
      • Monitoring of part ejection
      • Control of customer-specific packaging equipment

 

      • Special testing and sorting machines are based on concrete testing requirements from the quality assurance process of our customers.
      • These may be special test procedures, separate test areas on the test parts, special test requirements or accuracies on different surfaces requiring a special test or a combination of test sensors.

These systems are specified with the customer and configured and implemented by GPP. Especially in such special testing and sorting machines, the different know-how and the experience of the company comes into play.

Examples are:

  • Pick & Place – Supply and removal of parts for gentle transport
  • High accuracy measurements
  • Complex Testing, Focus Stacking, Artificial Intelligence
  • Crack and structural test for round welded nuts

 

GPP sorting machines can be integrated into automated processes of the production process with partial gentle transport.
The isolated and IO-tested parts are taken in the discharge from the first machine and in the next station, the manufacturing steps such. Smoothing / reeling or another test system, transferred. It also height differences can be compensated. The conclusion is usually a packaging system that has intelligent stacking processes.

Advantages:

  • Part-sparing handling
  • Greater automation of the overall process → Saving manual transport steps
