The system design is modular so multiple counting/dividing stations can be installed along the finishing area if necessary, according to the customer plant layout.

As the bars pass through the station position real-time counting is performed by means of a laser profiler (patented technology) until the desired amount is reached: when approaching the final count LED lights will turn on and data is automatically transferred from the counting device to the tracking camera as the last bar required is identified. A tracking algorithm then follows the target bar until it has come to a complete stop and the mechanical separation sequence begins.
