Sorting is an essential procedure before parcel packing and delivery. It categorizes and gathers parcels based on the customers’ needs and sorting destination. In recent years, sorting has been widely applied in logistics, e-commerce, shoes and clothing, pharmaceuticals, and other industries.
Delta has invested effort in the sorting process and launched the Guide Wheel Sorting Solution, which installs multiple rows of parallel guide wheels as the sorting unit on the conveyor belt. The solution controls the guide wheel module to get the parcels into the target branch.
The Guide Wheel Sorting Solution adopts the Delta AC Servo System ASDA-E3 Series, which features an upgrade on response bandwidth, significantly reducing the settling time. Automatic resonance suppression improves commissioning efficiency, achieving high-speed and high-efficiency motion control.
The controller layer leverages the Compact Modular Mid-range PLC AS Series to control the guide wheel module. The solution is simple and integrates quickly. It also employs the Industrial Ethernet Unmanaged Switch DVS Series to connect with a PLC and the Human Machine Interface DOP-100 Series. With Ethernet communication, the on-premises information can be transmitted to the IT layer and displayed in real time.
