hörSort glass plate -
automatically in the green area.

The hörSort glass plate from hörmle was specially developed for high-precision testing of rotationally symmetrical turned parts. It is fully automated and customizable for maximum process reliability, speed and quality.

Why hörSort

The hörSort system with glass plate has a modular design, which means that all components can be individually adapted to your requirements. The central unit is an image processing system that enables diverse and complex monitoring and control functions. The turned parts are precisely guided, measured and sorted on a glass plate. The inspections include the dimensional inspection of components as well as surface inspection and thread inspection. Special tasks that cannot be solved for the actual inspection on the glass plate machine can be realized using an upstream indexed rotary table and corresponding special application.

Automated measuring and sorting of turned parts.
Your advantages:

Flexible automation

Maximum efficiency

Exact sorting

Inexpensive 100% control

The ideal process for rotationally symmetrical turned parts:

Reliable control with hörSort

Our tried-and-tested hörSort system with glass plate is specially designed for testing rotationally symmetrical parts - ideal for precise, fast and fully automated quality assurance in series production.

Inclined conveyors & hoppers - robust feeding

Steep conveyors with hopper systems ensure a continuous and gentle material supply:

  • Capacity: 80-500 kg
  • Filling height: 800 mm

Separation and singulation

A vibratory bowl feeder reliably separates the components and places them on a conveyor belt at regular intervals.

  • Conveying diameter: 450-600 mm

Autovisual inspection with high-performance cameras

High-precision testing is carried out on the glass plate using up to 10 high-resolution cameras.

  • The following are recorded: External dimensions, shape, surface defects
  • Max. Throughput: up to 500 parts/minute

Discharge & documentation

Good and bad parts are automatically blown out and discharged separately. A digital test report can be created as an option - for complete traceability.

Automated packaging solutions

Good parts are transferred via a conveyor belt to a packaging belt or a packaging rotary table. Fully automatic packaging systems can be integrated as an option.

Special applications - individually expandable

With additional modules such as an indexed rotary table, a 360° turning station, tactile measuring technology or crack and hardness testing, the system can be perfectly tailored to your production requirements.
