Integrated automatic flatness-detecting, feeding and sorting apparatus and control method

The invention provides an integrated automatic flatness-detecting, feeding and sorting apparatus, comprising a mechanical arm, a host computer and a flatness detector, wherein the mechanical arm is connected with the host computer, and the flatness detector is connected with the host computer through a data collection card. The mechanical arm sucks a material from a to-be-detected box and conveying the material to the flatness detector; the flatness detector detects the flatness of the material and transmits detection results to the host computer; the host computer determines whether the material is a certified product or substandard product according to the detection results of the flatness detector and transmits the signal to the mechanical arm; if the material is a certified product, the mechanical arm delivers the detected material to a certified product case; if the material is a substandard product, the mechanical arm delivers the detected material to a substandard product case. The invention further provides a control method for the integrated automatic flatness-detecting, feeding and sorting apparatus. The apparatus provided by the invention can realize automatic flatness detection and sorting and cyclic operations consisting of material taking, detection and material delivery, substantially improves work efficiency and is suitable for batch operation in actual detection application.
