Erhardt + Leimer Offers ELCOUNT Pick- And Course-counter

technology_Copy_1Germany-based Erhardt + Leimer GmbH reports its newly developed ELCOUNT
automatic pick- and course-counter provides contact-free, reliable pick and course density control
owing to a newly designed charged-couple device (CCD) matrix camera with built-in circular
illumination, and closed loop control owing to a newly designed feed-forward/feed-back control
algorithm.

According to the company, the new device offers single-sided detection and the largest
detection area possible, does not require a speed reference for measurement, can provide static
measurement and instant calculation, and adjusts automatically for brightness. The system functions
in conjunction with the Windows® XP operating system, and offers an easy-to-use operator interface
and Ethernet communication between the camera and the computer. The company also offers its
customers a global technical support network.
