Evotec Launches VSORT: Vision-Guided Robotic Sorting for Metal Finishing
Intelligent automation meets metal finishing workflows with Evotec's newest solution for sorting and loading deburring lines.
Key Takeaways
Evotec today announces the commercial availability of VSORT, a vision-guided robotic system designed to automate part sorting and machine loading in metal finishing operations. Evotec is among the first Chinese automation providers to bring vision-guided sorting to market specifically for metal finishing workflows—a reflection of the company's commitment to advancing industry standards through rigorous engineering and process expertise.
VSORT addresses a persistent challenge in fabrication shops: the labor-intensive, repetitive task of orienting and feeding parts into deburring and surface finishing equipment. Built on Evotec's industrial automation platform, VSORT uses advanced vision intelligence to detect part position and orientation, enabling reliable pick-and-place operations even with mixed geometries. The system integrates upstream of finishing machines, reducing manual touchpoints and creating a more stable, continuous workflow. For shops operating extended or unattended shifts, VSORT supports lights-out production—a practical step toward leveraging night-shift capacity without proportional labor costs.
Key capabilities:
- Labor reduction – eliminates repetitive manual sorting and loading tasks
- Vision-guided precision – identifies part orientation for accurate robotic handling
- Throughput stability – maintains consistent feed rates into finishing equipment
- Unattended operation – enables practical night-shift and lights-out production modes
