Provided is an inspection/sorting system for inspecting and sorting articles of irregular shape, wherein it is easy to correctly sort articles irrespective of the contours of the articles, making the inspection/sorting system highly reliable. This inspection/sorting system (100) for inspecting inspected articles of irregular shape and sorting the inspected articles on the basis of the inspection results is provided with a conveyor device (10) for conveying the inspected articles, a line sensor (23) and an X-ray image generator (33a) that serve as an imaging mechanism, a sorting mechanism (41) for sorting conveyed articles, a reference position determination unit (33e), and a sorting mechanism control unit (53). The line sensor captures images of inspected articles conveyed by the conveyor device, and the X-ray image generation unit acquires X-ray images of the inspected articles. The reference position determination unit extracts the contours of inspected articles from the X-ray images, and on the basis of the contours of the inspected articles, determines a reference position for sorting of the inspected articles by the sorting mechanism. The sorting mechanism controller controls the sorting mechanism such that the force of the sorting mechanism acts on the reference position. |
