PL500

Pill Inspection & Counter

Taymer’s Tabletop Pill Counter can automatically and instantaneously verify the number of pills poured onto the tray, as well as inspect the quality of each pill.

Save operator time and avoid possible miscounts with the PL500. This camera-based inspection solution captures high-resolution images to distinguish pill shape, size, and count. Images are enhanced, magnified, and displayed on the console for easy operator verification and interaction.

The PL500 is designed for minimal contact with your product and optimized pill count and pill break detection. Its tabletop design makes the equipment portable and easy to include in your production process.
