Industrial sorting system MCU

laserautomaticparts

Overview
Salvagnini sorting solutions optimize production flow and part traceability for laser-cut parts, available as manual and automatic systems to integrate sorting directly with the cutting process.

TN manual sorting device

• The TN manual sorting device enables operators to separate cut parts from the skeleton, allowing cutting and sorting to run in parallel and improving line throughput.

MCU automatic sorting device

• The MCU automatic sorting device stacks parts of varied shapes, sizes and weights with high flexibility.
• Standard sorting strategy plus advanced modes: multi-gripping mode (sequentially picking several parts with the same gripper) and double-picking mode (reducing part pick time by simultaneous handling).
• Manipulators rotate 360° to remove geometric constraints and enable gripping of complex shapes.
• Includes Smart Cluster to micro-joint small parts quickly, overcoming dimensional thresholds and reducing total unloading time.

MCU operational limits and capabilities

• Pickable material thickness: 0.5 to 15 mm.
• Pickable weight: up to 65 kg per manipulator; up to 130 kg when two grippers work together.
• Minimum automatic part dimensions: 100 x 200 mm (Smart Cluster addresses parts below these limits).

NEXUS software for MCU

• NEXUS (Salvagnini) automatically defines grips, generates unloading sequences and positions stacked parts in unloading areas.
• The interface supports manual interaction and fine tuning; usable both in the office and on-board the machine.

Technical specifications

• Sorting types: manual (TN) and automatic (MCU).
• MCU thickness range: 0.5–15 mm.
• MCU weight capacity: up to 65 kg per manipulator; 130 kg combined.
• Manipulator rotation: 360°.
• Minimum part dimensions (automatic): 100 x 200 mm.
• MCU modes: multi-gripping mode, double-picking mode.
• Smart Cluster function for micro-joining small parts to enable handling below standard limits.
• Software: NEXUS automates grip definition and unloading sequence generation; usable in office and on-board.
