ABSTRACT:
An automatic sorting system for automatically sorting objects comprises a control guide which branches off into a plurality of branches having different depths, moving members which have rod-like pins which are guided by the control guide and divert the objects in a transverse direction, and a pin-moving device, such as cam, for moving the pin of each moving member vertically in response to a signal generated by a detecting device. The cam has two arc portions of different radii which depress a transversely slidable rod of the moving member. The moving member follows a path determined by the control guide having a depth corresponding to a depending length of the rod of the moving member, and is guided along this control guide groove. With this system, good or defective articles are automatically diverted in a transverse direction by the moving members, so that the objects are sorted based on a their transverse positions.
