Automatic button, fastener counting and packing machine
1-Counting packing machine principle
1.1-Mechanical counting
This way is suitable for packing small quantity (1-12pcs /bag), using the fixed distance between the fittings, and adjust the baffle to this distance, to make the count.
This way is not suited to the large counting, and has a limit for different shape of fittings, we have abandoned this method.
1.2-Optic fiber counting
This way is used the optic fiber to make the counting, using the multi-function of the optical fiber, such as shake proofing, time delay etc. to count the different kinds of fittings.
There is not limit of the counting, it can count the fittings from 1-99999, by the PLC control, the quantity can be adjusted easily.
Also using different setting of optic fiber, most of the fittings can be counted.
Currently, we use this method for all of our machines.
1.3-Weighing and counting system
This method is based on the optic fiber counting.
Because the optic fiber counting shall be cooperated with the vibration hopper (to sort and feed the fittings to pass through the optic fiber one by one), and the speed of the vibration hopper is limited. For big quantity counting, the speed will a little slow. But we found for big quantity fittings the first 80-90% fittings are no need to be counted one by one, so we use the weighing system to scale the first 80-90% fittings, and detect the exact quantity by PLC, then add the balancing fittings by optic fiber counting.
This method is special for big quantity counting, usually more than 30pcs/bag, will be suggested using this method.

3-Typical machine introduction
3.1-1~3 hoppers counting packing machine
Introduction and Application:
For 1-3 counters, the counters can be put on the back of the machine directly, the counters can be used individually, also can work together to make the mixed packing.
Used to packing 1-3 kinds of fittings in bags or in cartons by quantity. Can be mixed packed also can be used to pack 1-3 kinds of fittings in different bags.

3.3-Weighing and counting packing machine
Application:
Used to packing the fittings in bulk quantity, such as 50-5000pcs/batch, using weighing system to get the 90% quantity and use counter to add the rest. It can ensure a higher speed and precision.
It also can be added two scales to work faster if the speed needs higher.
