HECON Corporation, a member of the worldwide Hengstler group of companies, began operation in 1964 with the US distribution of Hengstler high performance counters. Two years later, in 1966, HECON received its first U.S Patent for the "Keycounters", a system to monitor and allocate copy costs. Now the world leader in copy management, HECON continues to create innovative products for the business marketplace. Products @ Hecon Industrial Counting and Control Technology Automation components: everything from miniature mechanical counters to sophisticated programmable control counters; this sector also includes totalizing counters, preset counters, interface counters, position displays, tachometers, shift counters and time counters. Data Printers Thermo and matrix printers for varied applications, with very low operating noise. As OEM, desktop or wall versions they make the documentation of test results and process data easy. Reliable modules for automation - Counters for reliable data acquisition and control purposes. Competence has a lot to do with experience, knowledge potential gained only through years of involvement in a certain field - Better by experience. Hengstler is considered the leading specialized enterprise for industrial counters and control technology, offering a complete program for the acquisition and analysis of production data. These products range from: mechanical mini counters to microprocessors, controlled data acquisition terminals with plaintext user interfaces and flexible software designed to fulfill individual customer requirements. Hengstler offers CIM - oriented production plants components geared toward the feature, including counters (for example the signo 723, 724 or bus counter 702.7) designed to master complex automation problems and which are equipped with standardized bus interfaces (Profibus, Feldbus, Interbus-S, Suconet). A few advantages offered by these system- compatible counters from Hegstler; integrated display renders control processes transparent to the user; simple handling is guaranteed through easily understandable, user friendly software; state-of-the-art technology implemented for the standardized interfaces to ensure full integration on existing or planned CIM structures; good price/ performance ratio. Another product line which also offers special advantages is the new signo counter series. Outstanding characteristics here include high user convenience, excellent protection against external interference combined with consequent design featuring large, logical displays and control keypads. In addition, signo counters are exemplary for easy-to-use, functional user guidance. And environmental aspects have not been forgotten. Electronic non-volatile memories dispense with the need for storage batteries, thus eliminating the problems connected with their disposal.
