Orion Mini Small Parts Sorter
High Precision Compact Sorting Solution
Details:
The Orion Mini uses a tilted counterclockwise rotating glass platen with a metal ridge for part transport. Fed parts first travel though the inspection inspection window, where their presence triggers the system to take a backlit image of the part through the platen. This image is analyzed by Six Sigma Concepts' InGage™ software to extract features and dimensions. The part then travels to the pass ejector. If the part passed the software analysis, then the ejector will fire the part down a shoot. If the parts fails analysis, then the ejector will not fire and the part will continue past, falling into the fail shoot.
A relatively small inspection field of view, 19mm x 24mm, allows for high precision measurements of small parts. Both long cylindrical parts, such as pins and screws, and short cylindrical parts, such as washers and gaskets, are able to be measured. Long cylindrical parts lie sidewise on the platen, allowing for length measurements, while short cylindrical parts can only be viewed top down and will not be able to have their length measured. |
The Orion Mini is a turnkey optical inspection and sorting machine with rapid part measurement and defect detection. Image acquisition and analysis takes less than 100ms per part.

The Orion Mini uses InGage™ software for inspection and sorting. InGage™ software provides easy software tools to set inspection parameters. It also allows for adjustment of sorting speeds and timings. All inspection and sorting settings can be saved and recalled helping to minimize time to swap between parts. The Orion Mini's small 10" x 12" footprint allows it to be setup nearly anywhere with minimal hassle. A couple thumb screws control the only adjustments on the Orion Mini that require repositioning when switching between parts. An array of #10-32 taps allows for easy feed attachment.

Orion Platen Sorter
High Precision Rapid Inspection & Sorting
|
The Orion: Platen Sorter is a larger, more versatile version of the Orion Mini. With a 16" diameter glass platen, the Orion's has a platen twice the size of the Orion Mini's, allowing for the inspection of larger parts. Additionally, the adjustable tilt provides more options for part shape and feed.

Integration:
The Orion is designed to accommodate as large a variety of part sizes and shapes that can fit within its inspection window. All sorting parameters, such as tilt, speed, and ejection, are easily adjustable. Six Sigma Concept's InGage™ software provides robust and reliable part detection and analysis.
Orion194 Flat Platen Sorter
Automated Inspection & Sorting of Self Standing Parts
|
Six Sigma Concepts has partnered with Resec Systems to produce the Orion194, a modernization of Resec’s J194 platen sorter. The main purpose of the modernization is to allow the platform to run Six Sigma Concept's InGage™ software. Redesigns have also allowed for the platform to utilize lenses with larger imaging fields.
The Orion194 analyzes the side profile image of each part as it transits through the inspection field. An optional top camera allows for the inspection part's ID and OD profiles. The rotating glass platen transports parts to the inspection and sorting positions while allowing through inspection. Sorting Specs:
For Parts That: |
|
- Are self standing cylindrical parts, like bearings, bushings, rings, and inserts.
- Are OAL ≤ 1.6" & OD ≤ 1.3".*
Orion197 Tilted Platen Sorter
Automated 360° Inspection & Sorting of Long Turned Parts
|
Six Sigma Concepts has partnered with Resec Systems to produce the Orion197, a new variant of Resec’s J197 tilted platen sorter. This variant offsets the camera's position along the rail. The part rotates as it is pushed along by the glass platen at the inspection point.
The Orion197 analyzes multiple real time profile images of each part as it transits and rotates through the inspection field. These additional images allow for consistent GD&T measurements of straightness, runout, and concentricity. Newly developed InGage software tools can inspect and measure to non-uniform features, such as flats, corners, thru holes and slots. 360° part inspection ensures that missing features, burrs, and chips are always detected.

Integration:
The Orion197 is designed to accommodate as large a variety of part sizes and shapes that can fit within and outside of its inspection window. Options are available to add variable tilt to the inspection angle and optical gate inspection triggering. The tilt option allows the system to be set such that parts that lie askew, such as a screw with a head, can be inspected at the proper profile angle. The optical gate inspection triggering option allows for inspections along parts longer than the inspection field of view.
