ROBOTIC COUNTING AND SORTING COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G07D13/00 

FIELD: tool engineering.

SUBSTANCE: robotic counting and sorting complex contains a body with gateways for receive and transmit banknotes trays therethrough, and a counting and sorting machine installed inside, and at least one robot-manipulator with a control block and a gripper configured with possibility of multiple movements and interactions between pockets of counting and sorting machine and trays. The complex is equipped with at least one additional counting and sorting machine located within the area of robot-manipulator operation, ensuring the minimum displacements of the latter, or at least close to the main counting and sorting machine, or at least above it, or at least around the perimeter of robot-manipulator. In addition, the body can be executed in the form of modular protective panels connected with each other by connecting joints and comprising at least one joint module. The result is enhanced functional capabilities due to increased speed of sorting operations with preservation of reliability of their execution with use of robot-manipulator and provision of possibility to arrange counting and sorting machines relative to each other and relative to the robot-manipulator in such a manner to optimise operation of robot-manipulator and to increase safety of attending personnel, and also by provision of quick change of number of counting and sorting machines both increasing and reducing, and replacement of non-operating counting and sorting machines due to rapid change of joint units and protective panels.

EFFECT: expansion of functional capabilities.
