TAKT TIME can be defined as the maximum time allowed to produce a product in order to meet demand. It is derived from the German word Taktzeit which translates to clock cycle. There is a logic therefore to setting the pace of production flow to this TAKT time. Product flow is expected to fall within a pace that is less than or equal to the TAKT time. In a lean manufacturing environment, the pace time is set equal to the TAKT time.

TAKT Time Production Counters combine the function of a timer and production counter with three displays:

ACTUAL – Actual count of products controlled by manual switch box, manual wireless remote or IR sensor
TAKT TIME – Count down timer to set production pace
GOAL – Goal count goes up by one when TAKT timer reaches zero

With this three-in-one product, keep track of production or inventory count, monitor the time between production, and compare them to the company’s targeted goals. Use the Takt Timer to establish a “rhythm” and set a pace. When production is unable to match this pace, management can easily identify the source of the bottleneck.  TAKT time production counters provide a real-time feedback system. Essential for lean manufacturing.

Photoelectric IR Sensor – Typically installed in industrial plants ranging from food and beverage, textiles, ceramics and brick production, through to logistics. This photoelectric sensor has high reliability and enhanced performance includes through-beam, retro-reflective and diffuse reflective types in straight and radial versions. Straight versions are also available with background-suppression, limited-reflective detection, and transparent object detection types for special applications. All models are available in plastic and metal housing.

Proximity Sensors – Available in models using High-frequency oscillation to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects and in capacitive models to detect non-metal objects. Models are available with environment resistance, heat resistance, resistance to chemicals, and resistance to water. Applications includes: Detects lead frames, aluminum caps, componenets, machine movement, cylinder positioning.
