An electronic preset counter is a type of electronic counter that is capable of switching to an external circuit when a preset count value is reached. Oftentimes, an electronic preset counter is used in manufacturing to control batch size, cut material to length, or punch/drill product. Veeder-Root electronic preset counter products offer many benefits well suited to manufacturing processes:

  • Long life
  • Comparably priced
  • Feature-rich (digital readouts, capable of automation)
  • Easy installation

An electronic preset counter's high speed and ability to work with many types of sensors makes it the ideal choice for many applications including: length-cutting and gas/liquid flow applications. Veeder-Root also offers a line of programmable electronic preset counter products for complex applications that require bidirectional counting, output logic operations, or input calibrators. This type of electronic preset counter can often replace two or more other simpler counters.
