Fully automatic counting of individual teeth or entire groups of teeth
– with the WESTCAM Technologies TCM – tooth counting machine.
Counting artificial teeth at high speed:
- Up to 8 teeth/second/individual module – depending on size and complexity. More than 20,000 teeth per hour/module
- With an accuracy of > 99 % from a filling quantity of 1,000 pieces.

- Fully automated counting and picking of individual teeth or entire groups of teeth
- Throughput: 20,000 teeth per hour per module
- High counting quality (> 99%)
- Modular system (can be expanded as required)
Used successfully by WESTCAM dental customers worldwide for around 20 years: counting system for the correct storage and inventory of denture teeth.

Two different operating modes
Picking:
The plastic teeth are counted up to an adjustable value. The counting chute then stops the flow. Typical application: Counting and dispensing a defined number of teeth from a larger quantity.
Count through:
Small parts filled in are counted through completely. Typical application: Counting parts during stocktaking.
Modularly expandable
The system can be operated as a single module or expanded modularly and can, for example, work with eight units connected in parallel.
This multiplies the counting capacity to almost 160,000 teeth per hour. The counting result is shown on a display and can also be printed out on request.
The TCM tooth counting system has a variable hopper in which the parts are loosely filled and then counted by a separator.

Wie schnell kann die TCM – Zahnzählanlage zählen?
The teeth are reliably recorded and automatically counted at high speed:
- Up to 8 small parts/second/individual module – depending on size and complexity.
More than 20,000 small parts per hour/module - With an accuracy of > 99 % from a filling quantity of 1,000 pieces
Wird für den Einsatz der Anlage Druckluft verwendet?
No. Our system has purely electric drives and you only need a 230V connection. No compressed air is required.
Können mit der TCM – Zahnzählanlage auch andere Teile gezählt werden?
