[0002] SMT material sorting equipment is a key piece of equipment in the electronics manufacturing industry for the efficient and accurate sorting of surface mount technology (SMT) materials. Its core objective is to achieve efficient material classification through automation technology. Current SMT material sorting equipment typically uses CCD or CMOS cameras combined with image processing algorithms to quickly identify information such as the appearance, size, and labels of materials. Then, multiple cylinders or robotic arms are used to sort and classify similar materials. However, robotic arm sorting systems are complex in structure, involving more precision components and control systems, resulting in higher maintenance costs. The use of multiple cylinders also increases costs. Utility Model Content
