1. General
The EMEC-12 is an egg-counter which makes it
possible, in combination with an egg-counter
computer, to count eggs on a conveyor belt. The
eggs do not need to be singulated or oriented in
any way, the sensor will accurately count side-by-
side eggs.
The EMEC-12 uses infrared light to detect the
eggs on the conveyor. For every detected egg, an
electronic pulse is generated. The EMEC-12 is
also provided with a CAN-bus, through which the
information is sent.
The EMEC-12 works with an accuracy of minimal
99,5%. The accuracy of the EMEC-12 strongly
depends on the mounting.
