Optyx® 3000 Optical Sorter

Processors of all sizes have the same criteria for flawless product.  With Key’s compact Optyx® 3000 optical sorter, smaller-volume processors can justify automated optical inspection—and achieve unmatched product quality in a small space and with a smaller investment.

Optyx® 3000 features the same camera, lighting, imaging, shape detection, and ejection technologies found in our Tegra® and Optyx® 6000 optical sorters—proportionately sized for lower volumes in a self-contained one-meter (42-inch) cabinet.
