Baumer’s new FKDK 14 contrast sensors for print mark detection are fast and accurate, making them the ideal, economical solution for print mark detection in packaging and printing machines. Utilizing white light as the light source, the FKDK 14 series can precisely detect print marks of all colors.
Optimized for high throughput speed, the new contrast sensor offers a response time down to 50 µs. This allows very short throughput times to be achieved. At the same time, the contrast sensor is very compact and can be integrated easily into any machine. The 2-point teach-in procedure is simple and intuitive and can also be conducted dynamically during the process.
Since the light source is white light, the contrast sensor can reliably detect print marks of all colors, even with slight contrast to the background. The switching status is indicated with an LED, which is clearly visible through the transparent housing base of the contrast scanner.
The FKDK 14 is ideally suited for applications in packaging and graphic machinery. Providing an economical solution for print mark or printing plate detection, the FKDK 14 diffuse contrast sensor combines short response time and a compact housing with the unique white light source.

Constant distance towards any metal
Inductive Factor 1 sensors offer the great benefit of maintaining the same sensing distance towards all metals. Unlike standard sensors where this value changes, depending on the material. The benefits of Factor 1 sensors are obvious: This uniform distance offers outstanding flexibility in system conception and sensor installation. Contrary to conventional sensors, Factor 1 sensors feature enhanced sensing distance towards many different metals. Hence, they are even perfect for applications with variable objects.
Your benefit:
- Utmost flexibility in construction and installation
- Uniform, large sensing distance towards any metal
- Shorter installation times, thanks to minimal adaptation effort
- Eased alignment thanks to large sensing distance
- Reduced sensor variety – the same sensor will match different applications
MRI is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to produce cross-sectional images of organs and other internal body structures. Dynapar offers a range of industry duty encoders designed to comply with FDA manufacturing guidelines for MRIs and X-Ray imaging. In x-Ray machines our encoders move water in and out of the machine, while in CT Scan and MRI machines they move patients in and out and measure the rotating speed.

Totalizers are counters that “total” the number of cycles applied to their inputs. The totalizing function does not provide control outputs or preset limits, although some of our multi-function products have the totalizing capability as well as output and control functions. They may be a mechanical counter, electromechanical counter or an electronic counter, all of which may be resettable or non-resettable.
Mechanical Counters
Mechanical totalizing counters typically use printed wheels or drums to display the count value and are actuated by an external force on a lever or shaft in a reciprocating or rotating action. Mechanical totalizing counters are very robust in their construction and are often found in severe environments which could destroy other types of counters.
Application
A mechanical totalizing counter can be used as a yardage counter for sheet goods, fabric, upholstery, etc. in a factory or commercial setting.
Typical Veeder-Root Counter
743415-005 Worm Drive is part of the 7234 series and pairs well with 15537-070 Measuring Wheels.
Electromechanical Counters
Electromechanical totalizing counters generally are operated by an electrical pulse from a switch or relay and increment counts as the pulses are applied. Certain models have counting coils designed as “continuous duty” which means that the voltage applied to the counter may be of extended length or continuous without causing damage to the coil. They are typically panel-mounted or base-mounted and offer a low to mid-range cost solution for numerous applications.
Application
An electromechanical totalizing counter can be used to count cycles in a gaming machine.
Typical Veeder-Root Counter
779086-006 is part of the 7790/7791 Series. This series of economical miniature totalizers is available in all popular mounts and operating voltages.
Electronic Counters
Electronic totalizing counters are almost always panel-mounted and generally have a good degree of environmental protection making them suitable for wet, damp, or dusty locations. They may be self-powered by an internal battery or externally powered, and are designed to accept a wide range of count inputs like dry contact closures, voltage pulses, TTL level inputs, and quadrature inputs from incremental encoders. Some models offer scalable inputs, meaning that the number of input pulses can be scaled as they come in to result in a readout of more meaningful units of measurement, often referred to as engineering units.
Application
An electronic totalizing counter can be used as a maintenance or usage counter (for revenue) in a copier machine.
Typical Veeder-Root Counter
C342-0462 is one counter in the C342 Totalizing Counter series. This series provides ultra-compact 1/32 DIN totalizers available with LCD or LED display and AC/DC inputs.
Totalizing counters, in all their various types, is an important component in a myriad of applications. So, choose Veeder-Root totalizing counters for a totally reliable, durable, and accurate solution!
