Bench or pedestal filler
An operator presents the carton and requests the preset count using a guarded footswitch or pushbutton.
Counted components into boxes
Automatic parts counting into boxes, cartons and totes.
Create controlled component quantities in rigid containers with engineered container presentation, batch separation and line handshakes.
- Sample-led selection
- Defined batch acceptance

Rigid-container filling
The box movement and the count must share one sequence.
A completed batch cannot be released until the intended box is present and stable. After discharge, the container must remain controlled until the gate closes and the counter confirms it is safe to index.
For higher output, a two-position diverter or intermediate buffer can decouple counting from box change time.
Container handling
From operator assist to full automation.
Indexed conveyor
Boxes stop below the discharge, receive the batch and move after count-complete confirmation.
Dual-position diverter
The finished count changes between two containers to reduce the dead time during box replacement.
Tray and tote filling
Counted batches can feed compartments, returnable totes, assembly trays or line-side bins.
Layer or pocket distribution
A chute, traversing head or container movement spreads parts or targets several positions.
Post-fill verification
Checkweighing, vision, label confirmation or production-data capture can follow the count.
Box-filling design inputs
Define the container and component together.
- Internal box dimensions and maximum fill height
- Part drop height, noise and cosmetic sensitivity
- Container pitch, index time and accumulation
- Batch quantity, target output and change pattern
- Line direction, conveyor height and controls standard
- Reject, quarantine and incomplete-box handling
Frequently asked questions
Technical answers before you specify.
Final suitability and performance remain subject to the actual component, operating conditions and agreed acceptance criteria.
Ask about your component →Can components be counted directly into cartons?
Yes. The discharge can be positioned above an operator-held carton, a supported box, a conveyor-indexed container or a diverter serving two positions.
How is the next box moved into place?
Options include manual presentation, stop-gated conveyors, walking beams, turntables or robot handling. The counter and box movement exchange ready and complete signals.
Can large quantities be counted into a box?
Yes, subject to the required rate, feeder capacity and count confidence. A larger batch may use intermediate accumulation so counting can continue while containers change.
Can the system prevent filling without a box?
Yes. Container-present sensing and permissive logic can inhibit release until the correct box is detected and ready.
Can boxes be weighed after filling?
Yes. A checkweighing stage can provide a secondary gross-weight screen, provided pack tare variation and required tolerance are understood.
