Imagine you have a pocket of 200 bills and you need to straighten them, what do you think is the best approach?
QuoteImagine you have a pocket of 200 bills and you need to straighten them, what do you think is the best approach?Like a wad of bills crumbled up into a ball? Or like a decently flat stack?You'd need to use computer vision on your robot if you don't hand feed the machine the money . . .
Basically the job I have we gather money (much of which is wadded/folded and we must straighten the bills before they can be counted by our bill counting machines.

entirely guessing here: but perhaps some sort of vibration in water would magically unfold these dollar bills?
Ok this explains a lot!There are machines that take in bills (like coke machines, etc) that are hand fed, then the machine flattens it and adds it to a stack.Perhaps you can buy one of them? You'd still have to straighten the bill, but it might speed things up perhaps 20%.I remember seeing one with two rollers that you can hand crank too . . . perhaps motorize it and drop in partially straitened bills?Other than that hmmmm I'm thinking there isn't any solution cheaper than hiring highschool students or changing the money collection process . . .
