The station controls a sorting process based on workpiece properties. The station sorts workpieces onto three material slides. A diffuse sensor detects when a workpiece is placed in the station and triggers transportation of the workpiece to the sorting point: A pneumatic stopper (short-stroke cylinder) stops the workpiece while the conveyor keeps running, and passes it on for sorting onto one of three material slides. Opto and inductive sensors detect the workpiece properties and distinguish between workpieces based on their color and material. A electric deflector sorts the workpiece onto the correct material slide. A retro-reflective sensor monitors the fill levels of the material slides.
