YOKO-16SJ
16-channel Vision Counting Machine
YOKO-16SJ is a 16-lane vision counting machine for tablets, hard capsules, softgels, and compatible discrete products. Its catalogue reference is 4,200 bottles per hour with an adjustable count from 8 to 9,999 units per bottle. Product geometry, translucency, overlap, dust, bounce, feed stability, bottle handling, inspection logic, and the required counting challenge must be evaluated with actual samples before the sustained line rate is confirmed.

Equipment purpose
What this machine is designed to do
The machine separates bulk solid-dose products into controlled lanes, uses an imaging system to identify and count units, and releases the programmed quantity into each detected bottle. It is intended for higher-output bottling projects that need count verification across regular or selected irregular product shapes.
Operating sequence
Working principle
Bulk product moves from the hopper through staged vibration into sixteen feed paths. The vision zone captures passing units and applies the configured image-analysis rules before the controller opens the discharge gate for the target count. Bottle presence, feed distribution, product spacing, lighting, image thresholds, discharge timing, and conveyor synchronization determine counting stability and false-reject behaviour.
Review points
- Sixteen product lanes support distributed feeding before the vision counting zone.
- The published product envelope lists thickness, diameter, and length references that must be checked against actual samples.
- Vision performance depends on product contrast, orientation, overlap, surface reflection, dust, lighting, and the approved image recipe.
- The adjustable count range supports multiple pack sizes, but each count should be challenged at the intended line speed.
- Missing-bottle, blockage, and fault displays should be tested together with discharge and conveyor logic.
- A complete bottling review includes upstream product supply and downstream desiccant, cotton, capping, sealing, labelling, and collection stages.

Selection questions
Frequently asked questions
Which products should be tested on YOKO-16SJ before purchase?
Test every shape, colour, transparency, size, and surface condition planned for production, including the most difficult product rather than only an easy round tablet. Samples should represent normal dust, static, defects, and lot variation. The trial should challenge overlap, broken pieces, doubles, feed interruptions, and the intended count per bottle.
Does vision counting eliminate all counting errors?
No counting technology is independent of setup and product conditions. Vision can distinguish and track units when feeding, lighting, focus, contrast, and image rules are controlled, but overlapping, reflective, transparent, broken, or dusty products can require recipe development. The agreed counting test and response to uncertainty should be documented.
How should the 4,200-bottle-per-hour reference be interpreted?
It is a catalogue reference, not a rate that applies to every product and count. Bottle speed changes with units per bottle, lane feed, product separation, bottle changeover, downstream stops, rejects, and replenishment. Acceptance output should identify the exact product, count, bottle, run time, and permitted interventions.
What bottle information is required for line configuration?
Provide bottle drawings and samples, material, diameter, height, neck opening, stability, target count, conveyor height, and the upstream and downstream machine sequence. Wide or narrow openings, lightweight bottles, and unusual centre of gravity can affect guides, funnels, timing, and line speed.
Which checks should be included in the vision-counter FAT?
Include count challenges, product recognition, broken or foreign-piece challenges where appropriate, no-bottle operation, blockage response, alarm display, recipe change, count change, bottle changeover, reject handling, power recovery, cleaning access, and a sustained run with the approved product and bottles.
