Germany-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.
