Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus for and an automated method of recycling cathode-ray tubes. The apparatus comprise a PLC unit that controls a robotic arm, sensors, and a cutting saw. The robotic arm places a used cathode-ray tube device face down, on a platform, which includes a saw designed to cut the bezel off the monitor. The saw cuts the bezel to a depth determined by the PLC unit that receives the dimensions of the monitor as sensed by the sensors. The saw also makes additional cuts at each corner of the face of the cathode-ray tube to remove tabs that are holding the cathode-ray tube to the monitor. Once the tabs are cut and the bezel removed, the cathode-ray tube falls out easily.
