MC Machinery Systems has introduced the ASTES4 High-Speed Advanced, a modular sorting system that the company says can cut sort times in half. The system can be integrated with the SmartFlex Rapid automated sheet loader and a Mitsubishi fiber or CO2 laser to help relieve bottlenecks and maximize the productivity and efficiency of downstream operations, according to the manufacturer.
The sorting system features a patented, integrated tool changer head with six programmable tools; four sorting heads with a capacity of up to 220 lbs./head; Mitsubishi Drive components that allow seamless communication among the control, servos, and drive system; and tight proximity between picking heads. Multiple customizable configurations are available.
Multiple tools on each head include a single suction cup, magnet (two sizes), multisuction cup, dual-oval suction cup, and out-of-center tool for small or heavy parts that require two lifting points.
