Industrial Sorting and Grading Solutions

ProPhotonix provides LED & laser solutions for your sorting needs.

LEDs and Lasers are widely used in sorting systems allowing accurate detection of flaws and analysis of items from fruit to timber. Based on the detection of defects, vision systems will reject defective products and grade the remaining product. LEDs and lasers are the most commonly used light sources for these applications because the long lifetimes, reliability and stable output that these sources offer ensure repeatable performance, higher throughput and lower maintenance.

Common applications of sorting systems include sorting and grading of food products, timber and recycling material. Lasers and LED illumination are also used in mail sorting systems which use OCR (Optical character recognition)  to vastly improve the speed of the sorting process.

ProPhotonix provides a range of products suited to sorting applications and can offer customized solutions for specific application needs.
