Yes, because otherwise I'd have to make very many passes through the machine to sort a particular batch.

I was thinking that you had trained the identifier just on the bucketized classes instead- fewer classes comprising all the similar parts. Maybe higher identification rate that way, or maybe not. Identifying right down to the specific colour and part means a heck of a lot of classes to train though.
This kind of stuff fascinates me. I've worked on software for package sorting machines in Amazon warehouses. Very similar idea to this: identify, remove from conveyor at right place/time. Only the machines are millions of dollars, run at very high speeds, and use barcode scanning for identification.
I can only dream of the kind of setup that you could make with a large budget. My only advantage is that I can put a lot of time into this project.
