Abstract
An adaptable inspection and sorting unit includes an attachment mechanism, an inspection sensor device that is capable of inspecting a sample, a sorting device that is capable of deflecting the sample, a data port that is capable of receiving information, and a power port that is connectable to a power source. The attachment mechanism, the inspection device, the sorting device, the data port, and the power port are physically connected together. A memory circuit and a processor circuit read information received via the data port, control the inspection sensor device, and control the sorting device. The adaptable inspection and sorting unit is capable of inspecting and deflecting a sample traveling along the processing line. The speed of the sample is measured utilized to determine a delay between inspecting the sample and sorting the sample.
