Abstract
The machine is designed for automatic sorting of flat objects and automatic unloading of groups of sorted objects and comprises a cylindrical housing on whose walls storages of objects are arranged in several decks over the periphery thereof. A conveyor for conveying the objects is fashioned as a squirrel-cage return drum accommodated inside the housing, said drum carrying on its spokes, with a possibility of moving along the latter, object holders designed to convey the objects to the storages, containers for delivering the objects from the storages and cams for moving storage platforms upon the extraction of objects, said cams cooperating via selector unit with a respective profile of a stationary master form. A feeder for feeding the objects into the machine is provided with a mechanism for feeding an array of objects, a separator and an inspection unit for identifying the distinguishing feature of each object. The machine is further provided with a conveyer for conveying the objects out of the machine and with a processor for automatic control of the machine.
