Counter
In Industry counters are used for measuring objects or lengths such as production counting of say bottles or length of yarn or paper etc. Ajinkya has wide range of Electronic counters, also known as Digital Counters or Microprocessor based counters to take care of industrial requirements.

Variations of Counters
Preset Counters
Counters have a programmable set point, which when number of count reaches to, a relay is operated. This is can be used to alert the operator or automate the production sequence by switching motor / conveyor on / off etc.
Length Counters Or Multiplying counters Or Pre scaling Counters :
These are used for measuring revolving / rotating objects such as winding applications to measure length of wire / length of paper / length of yarn etc. The scaling factor is user programmable to get he length in required units directly.
Batch Counters
In industry many times a batch contains a certain number of objects. Batch counters will automatically generate a relay output when a preset number of count has reached and number of such batches are also counted and stored in counter memory.
Counter with totaliser / Ratemeter
Additional feature to batch counters to give total production done so far. Also a feature to know the rate of production at any given instance of time.
Production counters
These counters are enhanced version of batch counters as they keep track of shift wise data as well.
Sequential Counters
There can be multiple number of set points which are effective in a particular order. Relay output is generated after each preset value is reached.
Up Down counters
In case the movement of an object is bidirectional or if there are rejection in the material produced, up / down bidirectional counters can be used. Quadarature encoder compatible counters can be used to measure the angular movements or revolving bidirectional movements.
Vending Machine Counter
A special application for drink vending machines which are installed by Indian Railways to count the number of cups of a drink dispensed as well as to control the amount of drink dispensed. Ajinkya supplies Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola dispensing counters which counts the number of cups dispense for multiple flavours and also controls the amount of drink is to be filled in the glass.
Accessories to Counters
