Types of Counting Machines

High Speed Drop Zone Counter

The Drop Zone Counting Machine lends itself well to many different counting needs. There are many different sizes and configurations.  There are also many options for material handling before and after the count. These are especially useful in high speed and high volume counting operations.  Speeds can now reach up to 2000 parts per second.

Table Top or Conveyor Counting Machines

Table Top and Conveyor Counting can improve many different types of counting operations.  These are really interesting because there are countless ways to integrate these systems into your operations.  From basic manual table top models to fully integrated systems on high speed conveyors, these systems can be customized to your exacting needs.

Robotic Count, and Inspection Systems

Robotic counting systems are highly configurable to improve many different operations. Counting, Pick and Place, Vision Inspection, and other characteristic determinations can be made. These systems can be built to handle a wide range of counting and quality control operations and can continually improve as your needs grow.

Benefits of High Speed Parts Counting Machines

Using Machine Learning and AI Vision is often Faster than using Counting Scales

PerfectCount is more than just an automatic counting machine—it’s a revolutionary solution tailored for industries that demand precision and efficiency. Whether you’re counting small parts, bolts, screws, or even candies and gummies, our system adapts to your unique needs with unparalleled accuracy. From fastener and tablet counting to advanced applications like stack counters for sheets, cardboard, and filters, PerfectCount delivers where traditional scales fall short. With cutting-edge vision counting technology, PerfectCount ensures your operation achieves maximum productivity, whether handling seeds, capsules, or even Legos. Ready to transform your process? Explore how PerfectCount can redefine your industrial counting needs today.

Counting System

Fast

No other counting machine can match this counter for speed. Round 1.25 mm pellets can be counted at 1,000 per second, and large objects like ¼-20 nuts at 200 per second.

Reduced Costs

No more labor intensive hand counting or wasteful overfilling based on weight. PerfectCount systems have ROI as low as a few weeks for most applications.

Accurate

PerfectCount counting systems achieve >99.99% accuracy at lower feed rates and maintain accuracy above 99.5% for speeds into the hundreds of parts/sec for most parts.

Flexible & Easy

Standard part counter system counts objects between 0.3mm and 150mm. The easy-to-use software allows for counting and packing. Further customization for your needs is available.

Estimate the Performance and Return on Investment

Based on our most popular drop zone counters, we created a basic calculator to help you estimate how good the counter is for any given application. The calculator assumes that you are using a scale and overpacking to ensure adequate filling. We also assume for this calculator that you are using the standard size of counter, and that you will aim for 99.8% accuracy (all errors being undercounting), so you will overpack by 0.2% with the counter.

How Do the Counting Machines Work?

Unmatched Ease, Speed & Counting Accuracy

Our state-of-the-art vision-based technology with advanced image acquisition and custom analysis software work together to provide the ultimate in high-speed counting with very high accuracy.

Small objects fall through a “drop zone” where they are imaged by a high speed camera 35,000 times/sec, which “sees” the falling objects from two view angles.

Any Shape, Any Material - Instantly Measures Size Distribution

PerfectCount works with objects of any shape: disks, balls, rods, objects with holes, or even complex geometries. Material type doesn’t matter to PerfectCount. Transparent glass, polished metal, and many food items are not a problem. A special version of PerfectCount has been developed for seed counter applications.

In addition to high speed counting, PerfectCount provides real-time Machine Learning and AI Counter information about the three-dimensional size distribution of the parts. These two orthogonal views allow our custom counting software to compensate for cases where objects overlap in one or both views, which allows PerfectCount to provide extremely accurate counts at high speeds.

What Size Model Do I Need?

Read our buyers guide to learn about the different models.

We have written a buyers guide to help educate you on the different drop-zone models we offer. This will help you learn about the best technology to use for your parts. And we are always here to help you navigate with a demo or chat.

In addition to these models we have developed many custom counting applications for drop-zone, conveyor and many robotic applications.

Ditch the Scales and Deliver Superior Counting

Common practice in high-volume manufacturing and packing operations is to estimate the number of parts by their weight. Unfortunately, varying sizes and material densities often lead to wasteful overfill.  Counting small parts manually or by weight using counting scales is a very expensive and time-consuming task.

Be a hero by solving this problem with PerfectCount: the high speed counter and small parts counter machine.

PerfectCount uses vision based technology to individually count each part at lightning fast speeds. How fast? As one example, 1.25mm pellets can be counted at over 1,000 parts per second!  That’s hero territory!

We have table-top models to fully integrated systems. The PerfectCount counting machine is designed, built and supported in the United States to exacting standards.  PerfectCount has been developed to save significant time and money. Often paying for itself in a very short time.
