Short Description:
The Vision Sorting System is an industrial automation project designed to showcase Beckhoff TwinCAT 3’s vision inspection and motion libraries. Built for both real-world part sorting and engineering training, the system uses a rotary base and camera to detect object color and actuate a motorized chute via EtherCAT to sort objects. It integrates GigE vision sensors, TwinCAT 3 runtime environments, and ADS for real-time sorting and expansion to shape or dimension classification.
