Electromagnet crown sorting and un-jamming device

摘要

An apparatus for sorting parts at high speed without undue wear on mechanical parts is disclosed. A mechanism for automatic removal of a defective part that is blocking the flow of parts is also provided. When a sensor downstream from the likely blockage point detects that there is no flow of parts, controlling means activate a number of steps in succession to remove the blocking part. Also disclosed are methods for achieving the desired performance of the apparatus.
