Laser Counter WANTED ! for stacked glass sheets
(OP)
Dear All,
We got problems when receiving packages of glass sheet especially thin glass 1.5 - 2.0 mm with content abt 200 -250 pcs/pack depend on sizes, we handle this job around 200-300 packages perday. The problem is there are so many wasting time to count the glass manually and always generate human errors.
ARE THERE ANY HANDY COUNTERS AVAILABLE to solve the problems? ( maybe Laser censored ??)
Condition :
1. The interleave between glass could be Papered or Powdered
2. Glass thickness in one pack may vary from 1.4 - 1.5 or 1.9 - 2.1 mm
Thank You

The paper may have to be cut/burned off if it overhangs
the edge.
What about removing it with a rotating wire-brush ?

Nothing completely off the shelf comes to mind, but here's a possibility:
Assuming you need and exact count:
Take the stack and tilt it and riffle it by allowing it to even up at the tilt. This gives you a stair-step profile, which you can run a profilometer across and use software to count the steps. If the interleaves underlap the glass, you could do this without the riffle step, since the profilometer would detect the gaps between the sheets.

dbaird : I'm in contact now with Keyence Singapore to find any solutions available.
IRstuff : 1. Tilting a stack of glass sheets are not allowed because could damage (or scratch) the near edge of them, also its too heavy +/- 1 ton each pack. But I will try to find some reff about profilemeter (thanks).
2. Vision system with camera seems too shopisticated and impractical for handy operations.
Best Regards.
