ABSTRACT:
The device for individual conveying of elongate objects comprises: a hopper from which batches of elongate articles are extracted, which fall onto an initial tract of a conveyor belt provided with transversal seatings. The belt draws the articles towards a strongly-inclined ascending tract, along which all the articles which are not correctly inserted in the seatings are unloading. After the ascending tract thereof follows an intermediate tract, superiorly of which a television camera is arranged to monitor the transversal seatings as they transit, in order to detect each of the a presence or absence of articles and if there should be any present, a number, position and orientation thereof. In a final tract, robotic manipulating organs are provided, controlled by the television camera which remove from each of the transversal seatings full on arrival, at least one of the articles, on the basis of the coordinates provided by the vision camera, in order to transfer the article to an output position downstream, in a predetermined orientation thereof. The device further comprises a device for collecting and returning to the hopper the elongate articles not removed by the robotic organs and unloading from the conveyor belt beyond the final tract thereof.
