Counting cans is beyond the ability of standard inductive or optical sensors. The round shape of a can, plus the inherent shaking and reversing of cans that occurs on the line leads to serious counting errors. An inaccurate count can be worse than no count at all. These problems are eliminated by Sencon's can count sensors which are specially designed for highly accurate and reliable counts on canmaking lines. They allow precise production and/or spoilage data monioring with 100% confidence.

Unparalleled Accuracy - Sencon’s famous count accuracy is possible thanks to their custom microchip design and Sencon's own advanced sensing technology. Quoted count accuracies of 30 per 1,000,000 have been bettered in many installations.

Unidirectional Sensing - By intelligently sensing the direction of can flow, those cans that bounce or are pushed back in the reverse direction are never counted twice. Even cans shaking and jiggling in front of the sensor do not create a miscount.

Continuous Reliability - By eliminating the need for user adjustments or maintenance, these sensors provide a ‘fit and forget’ approach to can counting. Sencon’s dual head models also eliminate installation problems associated with achieving the correct sensing distance when cans are loosely contained in trackwork.

Divided Output Option - Built-in circuitry is available to give a divided output with an almost even mark space ratio. This provides a more manageable output duration for interfacing to displays and other equipment (see application notes).
