The Laser Pick/Course Counter Model 7762A utilizes advanced laser optics to precisely measure the linear density of moving fabric in terms of pick or course counts. Its features include...
- Big figure digital display of pick or course count to 0.1 counts per inch or centimeter precision with simple keyboard entry of set point and limits for high and low LED alarm indication.
- Water-tight, durable enclosure designed to withstand the harshest of mill environments.
- Laser Sensor Type 6307A is hermetically sealed and nitrogen gas filled to maintain long-term performance of internal components.
- High speed digital signal processing analyzes each thread used the the measurement calculation. The laser beam angle is continously checked for optimum position to maintain accuracy.
- Utilizes Type R-90-200 surface-driven speed/length transducers with cast, stainless steel wheels to maintain accuracy for long-term use in contact with abrasive materials and in applications with significant temperature shifts.
- Optionally use Type FM-90-200 shaft-driven speed/length transducers for applications in which material contact is not feasable. Simply enter a ratio easily calculated from roll diameter and sprocket sizes.
- Industry standard, scalable 4-20mA outputs or pick/course count and speed values, allowing the unit to be easily integrated into higher level control or monitoring systems. Optionally, the current set point value can be substituted for the speed output so that the higher level system can compare actual versus target values.

The Picks-Plus Monitor Model 1665e Inidicating Controller integrates two or more Model 7762A Laser Pick/Course Count Monitors to optimize residual shrinkage and yield. A sensor at process entry closely monitors pick count variations for dynamic adjustment of applied shrinkage. Reducing the variation of residual shrinkage lets you shrink less... just 0.5% reduction in shrinkage produces thousands of extra yards or meters of material per month. Features include...
- Microprocessor-based PLC system including membrane keyboard and 1/4-VGA LCD display with non-volative memory for processing parameters, multi-channel input and output cards, RS-232 port for report generation and RS-485 port for network connection.
- Connect two or more Model 7762A Laser Pick/Course Count Monitors including Type 6307A Laser Sensors and speed/length transducers to monitor pick counts at machine entry and exit.
- Displayed values include picks per inch or centimeter at machine entry and exit, difference between pick counts at entry and exit, difference between pick count at machine entry and target value, percent shrinkage based on pick count differential, percent shrinkage based on length measurements, speed and accumulated lengths.
- Optional sensors can be added to monitor fabric width, density (g/m2) and moisture at machine exit and to monitor and control moisture at rubber belt entry.
- The Model 1665e is built from the Series 1600 PLC hardware and software components. This means that the 1665e can be converted to any other Series 1600 Indicating Controller or upgraded to one of the powerful "Combo Controllers" providing optimizaiton of multiple process parameters.

Handheld Thread Counters are simple, easy to use devices that provide a quick manual thread count by merely placing them on the fabric. These optical gratings produce interference patterns or lines that diagonally point to the thread count value on a linear scale. Models include...
- Thread Counter Type L-1: 10-44 counts/inch (4-17 counts/cm)
- Thread Counter Type B-1: 25-60 counts/inch (10-23 counts/cm)
- Thread Counter Type S-2: 35-80 counts/inch (13-31 counts/cm)
