Our hyperspectral camera captures the entire visible and near-infrared spectrum, enabling us to identify materials based on their spectral signatures. This approach allows us to separate materials in a way that is not possible with conventional methods.
The delta-picker allows us to separate the identified materials quickly and accurately. This robot can grip up to 90 parts per minute and suction up to 120 parts per minute. This enables us to separate even large quantities of scrap quickly and efficiently. Another advantage of our system is its flexibility. It can be used for the separation of individual materials as well as the separation of multiple materials simultaneously. The option to place multiple systems consecutively on a conveyor belt increases its versatility.

How does the system work?
Our system consists of a hyperspectral camera and a delta-picker. The camera scans the scrap on the conveyor belt and creates a hyperspectral image from it. This is then evaluated by an AI software that identifies the material and controls the gripper arms of the delta-picker accordingly. This way, materials are sorted and separated.
Which materials can the system separate?
Our system is capable of recognizing and separating a variety of metals and alloys, including aluminum, copper, zinc, brass, and stainless steel. Separation of boards is also possible. Further customization based on customer requests is feasible.
Can the system be used for separating materials other than metals?
Indeed, the system can also be used for the separation of materials other than metals, such as plastics or ceramics. However, the primary application of the system is the separation of metals, and the best results are achieved in this area.
What is the system's performance?
Our system can grip up to 90 parts per minute (metal scrap) and suction up to 120 parts per minute (e.g., boards). These figures refer to the optimum performance with ideally distributed scrap on the conveyor belt, a bandwidth of 1000mm, and the ejection of a single material type per cell.
