Counting randomly located pieces

What does counting objects on a conveyor mean?

It consists in contactless counting of loose, undirected objects. It is particularly useful in applications where it is not suitable to count pieces of objects using a sensor. A classic example is counting envelopes or packages on a conveyor belt. The advantage of this counter is that it can recognize objects that are placed over each other.

What does it solve?

• counting objects moving simultaneously on the conveyor
• counting objects that do not protrude above the conveyor plane
• counting objects of various items that cannot be distinguished using a sensor
