Counting Syringes with a Slot Sensor

The assembly and packaging of syringes is automated starting with the use of equipment such as feeder bowls and conveyor rails. Once the parts move down the rail, reliable detection is needed in order to sense and count the parts, even as the syringes are apt to swing and vibrate through the sensing field.

Counting Bolts Leaving a Feeder

To count bolts dispensed from a feeder bowl

Counting Bottles Remotely

Accurately count bottles in a packaging operation

Counting Clear Bottles

To reliably count clear objects moving on a high-speed conveyor line

Counting Dropping Parts with an LS Sensor

Count hardware as it exits a vibratory feeder

Counting Dropping Parts with an LX Sensor

To count parts as small at 5.6 mm in diameter

Counting Dropping Parts with an OMNI-BEAM

To reliably count small pieces of hardware that fall from a vibratory feeder into plastic bags

Counting Clear Bottles from One Side of Line

To reliably count clear bottles moving on a high-speed conveyor line

Counting Glass Bottles

To reliably count clear bottles moving on a high-speed conveyor line

Counting Memory Sticks

To detect the presence of memory sticks used in digital cameras and recorders so they can be counted

Counting Reflective Rings

Reflective surfaces are one of the more challenging types of objects to sense with a traditional photoelectric sensor. Cylindrical reflective objects are especially difficult to sense due to the light reflecting differently on the various parts of the curved surface of the object.

Counting Seed Packets

To accurately count seed packets moving at a peak rate of 600 per minute

Counting Small Parts with a Fiber Optic Array

To count small parts during packaging

Counting Syringes Using Background Suppression

To count syringes by detecting their narrow barrels

Counting Tinted Bottles

To count clear or green transparent plastic PETE bottles from one side of a production line

Small Parts Counting

Nuts, bolts, screws or other hardware pieces can be difficult to detect due to small size, but it is vital to count each item during manufacturing to ensure each package has the correct amount. The feeder bowl rapidly supplies the conveyor with hardware pieces during the packaging process.

Carton Counting

During secondary packaging of food and beverage products, it is important that products are counted before being placed in large boxes to ensure accuracy. A reliable sensor is needed to count cartons and notify the robot after a desired amount of cartons has passed on the conveyor. The robot then knows to load cartons into the box, helping to maintain an efficient manufacturing process.
