OPTICAL FIBER LASER SORTER

摘要

The invention relates to devices for sorting objects by color, size, shape and other characteristics. The primary field of application is the sorting of agricultural produce. An optical fiber laser sorter comprises a device for conveying material to be sorted, a device for the laser irradiation of material to be sorted, a laser beam scanning device, two or more image reading and processing devices, and a device for removing defective material. The laser irradiation device additionally comprises an optical fiber, the input of which is connected via focusing optics to the optical outputs of one or a plurality of lasers, and the output of which is connected to focusing and cylindrical optics of the laser beam scanning device. The image reading and processing devices are designed to be capable of reading laser radiation reflected from and transmitted through a material and also of reading in different spectral ranges. The technical result is an increase in sorting effectiveness.
