Baumer electric is proud to introduce the SCATEC-J Laser Copy Counter, a member of the SCATEC-family of non-contact laser-based sensors, designed to count newspapers, magazines and other printed matter in a lap or shingle stream.
The competitively priced SCATEC-J is the perfect sensor for applications with a product thickness of more than 1,5 mm and a counting rate up to 280,000 pieces per hour.
Mount the sensor parallel to the conveyor at a distance of 40 mm and plug it in. No further alignment and adjustment needed!
A diagram on the sensor label makes it easy to mount the sensor in the correct orientation towards the lap stream. Only edges facing the laser beam are counted, edges facing away from the laser beam are not detected.
| Measuring range: | 0…55 mm below the sensor | Sensitivity | single sheet detection down to 1,5 mm* are recognized in the range of 30…45 mm below the sensor (* test object: neatly cut, matte white paper) |
| Color insensitivity: | multi-colored objects like magazines and other printed objects with a color range from black to shiny white are recognized, even if the bright / dark transitions are near to the edge |
