The SCATEC laser copy counter family is suitable for counting newspapers and magazines in a lap stream. The SCATEC detection principle is based on an optical edge detection system patented by Baumer, which makes the SCATEC family extremely insensitive to color. With a matte or glossy finish, all print products are scanned reliably.

• Non-contact thanks to optical principle
• One laser light source – two receivers (V and R).
• Reacts to object edges that face the laser beam.
• If an edge passes through the laser beam, the relationship of the reflected light (v/r) to both receiver’s changes and the object is detected.
