Accurate product tracking is an essential part of modern manufacturing, especially in facilities where every finished product must be accounted for before moving to the next stage of production. To meet these requirements, DC-Digital designed and manufactured the DC-40C-PKG-SHRT Package Tracking Gasketed Enclosed Counter, a custom industrial counting solution built specifically for Unicast Co. This system provides dependable product counting while withstanding the demanding conditions commonly found in industrial manufacturing environments.

The primary purpose of the DC-40C-PKG-SHRT is to monitor products as they travel through a production process. Installed alongside a conveyor or production line, the included diffused reflective sensor detects each product as it passes through its sensing area. Every successful detection automatically increments the bright LED display by one, providing operators with an accurate real-time count of production output.

This automated counting process helps reduce manual tracking, improves production visibility, and provides a reliable count that operators can monitor from across the work area.

Designed for Reliable Product Tracking

For Unicast Co., the system was engineered to provide both automatic counting and easy operator control. While the reflective sensor handles normal production counting, operators can quickly make adjustments whenever necessary using the environmentally sealed push button station.

The black push button decrements the displayed count one number at a time, allowing production totals to be corrected if a product is removed or an incorrect count occurs. The red push button instantly resets the display back to zero, making it easy to begin a new production run or shift.

These simple controls allow operators to maintain accurate production data without complicated programming or additional equipment.

Built for Industrial Environments

Because manufacturing facilities often expose equipment to dust, moisture, washdowns, and harsh operating conditions, this custom counter is housed inside an IP-66 gasketed all-aluminum enclosure. The sealed enclosure helps protect the electronics while providing dependable operation in demanding industrial settings.

The four-inch ultra-bright LED digits are visible from distances up to approximately 200 feet, allowing supervisors and production personnel to monitor production totals without walking directly to the equipment.

The four-digit display counts from 0 to 9,999, making it suitable for a wide variety of production, packaging, and assembly applications.

Straightforward Installation and Maintenance

One advantage of the DC-40C-PKG-SHRT is its service-friendly design. Removing the gasketed front cover provides access to the internal terminal blocks and wiring, simplifying installation and future maintenance.

Inside the enclosure, the diffused reflective sensor connects through clearly labeled terminal blocks, allowing technicians to quickly verify or service the wiring. The environmentally sealed push button station interfaces with an opto-isolated input board, providing reliable signal processing while protecting the internal electronics.

The unit can be powered using the included outdoor-rated SJEOW power cord or integrated into an existing control system using a customer-supplied 24 VDC power source through the internal terminal block.
