Electro-Optical System for Sorting, Grading & Packaging of Apples

Introduction

Salient Features

• Machine having washing, drying, singulation, conveying and orientation units, and bin actuation for apples.
• Optical system with Illumination & Imaging systems and Image Grabbing with Camera Control and Interface.
• PLC based system for Machine Control.
• Image Processing & Decision making Algorithms with operator and user Interface screen.

Engineering, electro-optical systems and Software algorithms

• Distortion free digital imaging through 3-CCD multi-spectral camera with digital camera-link output using wide angle aspheric lens at close conjugate.
• Low thermal noise of the camera within the illumination chamber for perfect imaging.
• Simplified Operator & User Interface screens.
• Variable high throughput from 4 to 6 apples per second with a provision of varying the speed of the belt, number of revolution per second and processing time.
