Counting system
for counting your products

Counting systems guarantee efficient and accurate feeding, and therefore increased productivity. Schaeffler Special Machinery goes one step further than standard counting systems. Our expertise in feeding technology has led to the development of the AllinOnecounter, an advanced counting system specially designed to count a wide range of products quickly and precisely.

With an advanced, fully integrated counting sensor that counts products with high accuracy and reaches speeds of 20 to 300 items per minute, our counting system delivers maximum output with precision.

How does the counting system work?

The counting system consists of two parts.
First, there is the buffer section with a capacity of 5 litres, into which the parts can be poured. From this buffer, the parts are guided to the second section, where they are sorted so that a narrow stream is created with the parts neatly aligned one behind the other. This makes accurate counting possible.

The parts then fall through the counting sensor window into your packaging machine, bagger, or into a collecting bin. Depending on the product, the final parts can be counted down slowly to further increase accuracy. Everything can be adjusted via the touchscreen panel.

Fast and reliable production

A counting system is essential for accurately and reliably portioning product flows. The process starts with bulk quantities being poured into a bunker or hopper, after which the contents are converted into an exact piece count using different techniques. By using advanced counting sensors, we at Schaeffler Special Machinery can guarantee fast and reliable production. 

Applications

Counting machines are used worldwide in countless ways, with endless possibilities. At Schaeffler Special Machinery, we provide solutions focused on accurately counting loose components. Our systems guarantee controlled, consistent feeding. From critical screws and bolts for aircraft construction to the bag of screws and plugs supplied with your Swedish furniture. Wherever loose parts need to be brought together, we provide the required precision and reliability. 

Easy changeover

The counting systems from Schaeffler Special Machinery are known for their versatility and reliability across various sectors. With a precise counting sensor and a flexible 5-litre buffer system, our machines make it easy to switch between all kind of different product types, batch mode and continuous feeding. This flexibility makes our solutions ideal for both small-scale and large-scale production. 

Benefits of a dispensing machine

Frequently Asked Questions

Our frequently asked questions provide concise, practical answers about our counting system and its applications.
Our goal is to inform you as clearly as possible and remove any uncertainties. Read the answers below or contact us for more information. 

A counting system counts products from bulk into the desired quantity. After counting, this quantity is packaged or processed further in the next step. This system makes counting faster, more accurate, and more reproducible than manual counting. Counting systems are often used in production, assembly, and logistics. 
A counting system is used to record and monitor quantities in a process. Examples include product counting, cycle counting, or inventory registration. The system supports process control, reduces counting errors, and provides direct insight into current quantities. 
That depends on the product itself. A counting system can handle various small and large parts, loose products, or packaging units. Important influencing factors include product shape, dimension, material, speed, and the accuracy required for the application.  
The advantages are higher accuracy, less manual work, and greater process reliability. A counting system reduces the chance of errors and makes quantities available immediately. As a result, production and logistics can be controlled more efficiently and more accurately. 
Accuracy depends on the product combined with the required count speed. Well-adjusted systems deliver reliable and consistent counts. For the best results, the counting system must match the product and the process. 
Yes, counting systems can often be integrated into existing machines or lines. Space, control, and automation level all play a role. Schaeffler Special Machinery NL can help with a solution that fits the existing installation and process.
Yes, counting systems are often adapted to the application. Customisation is especially relevant for unusual product speeds, product dimensions, detection requirements, or limited installation space. This creates a solution that better matches the process and desired performance. 
Maintenance usually includes checking sensors, wiring, software settings, and mechanical components. Regular inspection helps prevent malfunctions and keeps counting quality at the required level. Maintenance frequency depends on usage, environment, and load. 
Schaeffler Special Machinery NL uses its expertise in product feeding to assess product characteristics, process speed, accuracy, and integration options. Based on this, a suitable technical solution can be developed. This results in a counting system that fits the application and production requirements. 
Schaeffler Special Machinery NL develops and supplies customised machine solutions, including counting systems. The focus is on integration into the production process, reliable operation, and alignment with the specific customer application. The goal is a solution that fits both technically and practically into the desired process setup. 
Schaeffler Special Machinery NL translates production needs into a technical solution. This can include concept development, engineering, integration, and alignment with the line or machine. The focus is on a solution that works reliably within the customer’s specific process environment.
