This case study highlights how our compact desktop counting machine automates packaging for small metal rivets, eliminating manual counting errors and streamlining production workflows.
1. Customer Profile
Product: Small cylindrical rivets/riveting studs (silver-plated, mixed orientation, diameter 2–6mm, length 3–12mm)
Industry: Hardware & Fastener Manufacturing
Challenge: Manual counting of tiny rivets led to slow throughput, high error rates, and inconsistent packaging quality, with labor costs accounting for over 30% of packaging expenses.
2. Solution: DGAX Desktop Visual Counting & Packing Machine
We deployed our compact, desktop-mounted visual counting system tailored to small fastener applications:
CCD Vision Counting: 99.7% accuracy, even with reflective metal parts and random orientations
Vibration Bowl Feeder: Customized for rivet orientation and consistent part presentation
Adjustable Pack Sizes: Supports quantities from 10–1000000 pcs per bag, configurable via touchscreen
Compact Footprint: Fits standard workstations, ideal for small-batch or multi-product lines
User-Friendly Interface: 5-inch touchscreen with recipe storage for quick changeovers between rivet sizes
