UNPARALLELED ACCURACY  — Sencon’s famous count accuracy is possible

UNIQUE DEVICES  — Counting can ends in ‘stick’ form is notoriously difficult
and beyond the ability of standard inductive or optical sensors. The problem
of nested ends, coupled with the shaking, jiggling and reversing that is
inherent to conveyors can create serious counting errors—and an inaccurate
count is often worse than no count at all.
These problems are eliminated with Sencon’s End Counting Sensors, which
feature adjustable sensitivity with tell tale LEDs, providing the ability to
optimize them to your particular end type.
Dependable results have been achieved on a wide range of beer and beverage
ends as well as many types of food ends, including conventional and easy
open ends.
NOTE: Certain food ends may prove difficult to count depending on the curl
profile and surface characteristics.
thanks to our own custom microchip design and advanced sensing technology.
Conservative count accuracies of 30 per 1,000,000 are quoted, but actual
accuracies achieved by users are often much higher.
UNIDIRECTIONAL SENSING — By sensing the direction of end flow, ends that
are pushed forward or surge back in the reverse direction are taken into account
without affecting the overall count. Even stationary ends that shake and jiggle in
front of the sensor will not create a miscount.
MOUNTING — The sensor needs to be positioned above the stick of ends;
threaded inserts are provided on both side faces. Achieving the correct operating
distance is important. A spacer is supplied to help with setting this distance. It
should be noted that ends must be nested evenly, because a miscount can be
caused if any ends are standing proud of the stick.

sink and current source inputs. Its active drive provides reliable transmission over
11S - 391 - 66 much longer cable runs than conventional outputs.
SETUP — The ‘as shipped’ factory setting will meet many applications. If more
11S-391-66-BLK precise tuning is required, a sensitivity control with red and green LEDs enables
simple and exact setup to a particular end’s characteristics. A switch is provided to
match the direction of end flow.
