Key Technology, Walla Walla, Wash., added a Sort-to-Grade feature to all of its belt-driven G6 optical sorters—Manta, Optyx and Tegra. This patented, advanced software-driven intelligence enables sorters to grade by count, accepting or rejecting each defective piece to control the quality of output to a defined grade as defined by the processor.
This Sort-to-Grade capability allows the sorter to control the quality of its output to a defined grade, objectively sorting by count in real-time with 100% inspection, thus increasing yield by reducing unnecessary rejects while improving the consistency of final product quality and dramatically simplifying the operator’s experience.
