What Is a Banknote Counter?

Currency-counting machine is a mechatronics device that automatically counts the number of banknotes. Generally it has a counterfeit banknote recognition function, which integrates counting and discrimination of counterfeit banknotes.

Money counter

Currency-counting machine is an automatic counting

The banknote counting machine is composed of a banknote twisting wheel, a banknote pressing wheel, a banknote receiving wheel, a frame, a motor,

The material of the money counter is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-aging, and anti-fall. The banknote counter is made of high-quality plastic, and it is powered by 220V standard voltage.

Top brand

In China, there are many manufacturers of money counting machines, and consumers will feel a sense of faint when they see various money counting machines. The brand of the money counter can be divided into three modes: one is professional production type, one is Wenzhou mode type, and one is OEM form (without its own technology and production). And choose a good brand, there will be a good guarantee for technology, service and quality.

Second, technology

We choose the money counter, and we need to measure whether the technology of the money counter is mature:

1. Bank note holder: also known as the note lowering station. Attention should be paid to whether the materials and design of the counter are too thin and the craftsmanship is superb. This piece has a great impact on the whole machine, which directly affects the accuracy of counting money. If a money counting machine cannot even count, it is a very fatal weakness. Follow up with banknotes or test paper for banknote counting. It is required that the banknotes will not be folded or tilted after the banknotes are placed. Otherwise, it may be caused by unbalanced tension.

2. The banknote output shaft and the banknote output shaft: This is the position where the probe of the whole machine is located, including medium and large magnetic heads, small magnetic heads, ultraviolet tubes, silicon photocells, infrared tubes, etc. The rotating shaft functions at the same time, and the banknote is pulled out from the banknote twisting shaft or the banknote guiding shaft. Therefore, we must pay attention to observe that the hardness of the material used by the banknote pressing roller and the counter roller is not enough. If the strength is not enough, the banknote cannot be pulled out. This requirement is very strict. Most of the machines currently on the market are made of rubber, so we have to pinch whether the wheels are too soft. Some machines use metal wheels instead. In this way, the hardness can be guaranteed and it will not age, but the cost will not be low, so it will never be used in low-end products.

3. Magnetic head: Magnetism is one of the most important methods to distinguish fakes today. The choice of the magnetic head is very important. If you choose some inferior magnetic heads, as the amount of money is increased, the magnetic heads will age and lose magnetism, and then there will be false alarms. Catch other failures. At the same time, we can observe the magnetic head carefully. The surface of a good magnetic head will be bright and shiny, and the surface of a low-quality magnetic head will appear sub-colored.

4. Motor: The motor is the core that drives the whole machine. We use the simplest way to judge the quality of the motor: a large and heavy motor is naturally the best motor. The volume of the motor is determined by the coils inside, and the number of coils determines the wattage and force distance of the motor. We require general motors to reach more than 40W.

5. Catching fakes: We can directly use fake coins to test the machine to test the catch level of the money counter. But this is a bit unrealistic, because we consumers cannot have too many counterfeit coins. At the same time, there are many types of counterfeit coins. According to our knowledge, there are more than 150 versions. But how to judge the level of counterfeit detection of a banknote counter? For our consumers, we can only judge by the brand. If the brand is big, the level of catching fakes will definitely be high. Because the larger the brand, the closer the relationship with the financial system is, the more complete the information on counterfeit currency is, the more counterfeit currency databases are developed, and the ultimate response is the super-high level of grasp.

Third, service

The money counter is a product that pays great attention to after-sales service. The money counter is a typical mechatronics product. Because it needs to rotate for a long time, it is unavoidable that the wear or failure caused by it is normal. . A first-class brand brings first-class quality and first-class service. Therefore, we must pay attention to the problem of after-sales service when purchasing the banknote counting machine, that is, the maintenance and repair problems in the later stage.

Distinguish the falsehood by detecting the inherent characteristics of the RMB. The money counter is a mechatronics product that involves knowledge in multiple fields such as machinery, electricity, optics, and magnetism, and requires the cooperation of all parties.

1. No display after booting

Check if there is power in the power socket

Check if the plug of the money counter is plugged in

Check whether the fuse of the banknote counter has blown

2. Failure prompt code after boot

Generally, the money counter has a self-check function for failures. After the machine is turned on, the money counter will self-diagnose whether it is faulty.

Different banknote counters have different fault codes. Please refer to the "Instruction Manual".

3. Inaccurate counting

Adjust the vertical screw on the back of the tray, and turn it clockwise for one or two weeks

Clean up the dust (dust removal) on the photoelectric counting sensor.

Cannot return to normal after cleaning, whether the resistance rubber and banknote twisting wheel are seriously worn. Adjust after changing.

Adjust the alignment position of the photoelectric counter sensor of the banknote feeder

4. Fluorescence detection without alarm or reduced detection sensitivity

Adjust the circuit board sensitivity button or sensitivity adjustment potentiometer (sensitivity of fluorescence detection)

Is there dust on the fluorescent tube light sensor (purple light probe)?

Whether the fluorescent tube is aging

5. Failure of start-stop mode

Dust deposit sensor

The connection between the banknote sending sensor and the main circuit board is open.

Whether the belt of the banknote counter is broken

"If you want to do your best, you must sharpen your tools." It is not enough to use the money counter. You should also pay attention to the daily maintenance and maintenance of the money counter. The most important point in maintaining the money counter is dust removal. In wet areas, if more dust is accumulated, it will have a great impact on the strong electrical parts of the machine. In dry areas, there is a lot of dust

The money counter was invented by the Chinese. It was invented by staff members of national banks who participated in the development of the money counter after 1958. It was not invented by one or more people. Among them Shenyang, Shanghai,

Status quo

Since 2003, the business market of banknote counters can be roughly divided into several categories: 1. Banking market-based companies include: China Banknote Cinda, Yinjia (Ronghe), 5131, Best, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, etc. The companies in the civilian and banking markets are: Zhongshan Baijia, Guao, Kangyi, Jingwei, Kaixun, Jinli, Ruize, and Lili. The three companies in the civilian market are: Weirong, Jin Fan, Douliang, Ranpeng, and Wenzhou are the main companies. Fourth, the foreign market-based companies are: Kaixun, Zhongshan Top 100, Hengli, etc., and Guangdong-based companies, which form the layout of the banknote counter market.

Beginning in 2004, the currency counter technology entered a stable period and the demand in the civilian market expanded. Enterprises also gradually moved from a single shape design to a personalized design. The development of diversified products with Weirong as the main product, a multi-brand strategy has also begun, mainly addressing regional agency rights of agents. From the industry's annual sales of less than 1 million units before 2002 to the industry's annual sales of 2 million units in 2006, by 2008 the industry's sales reached a peak of 2.6 million units. The increase in demand also allows more companies outside the industry to enter the market of banknote counters, and further promotes the survival problems of the original enterprises of banknote counters. The sales volume in 2009 was basically the same as in 2008, and the number of enterprises also increased by 128. In 2009, there were more than 10 enterprises that stopped production or switched production.

From 2004 to 2007, the company's technology research and development mainly focused on the design and use of functions. There was no major breakthrough in the identification of counterfeit currency, and it stayed on the original identification of fluorescence, infrared, magnetic, and security lines. The identification capabilities of the banknote counters produced by each enterprise are the same. None of the technologies are special, but they differ in appearance, stability, function and durability. During this period, there were some changes in coin making, and the mechanism of counterfeit coins could not imitate the security line anti-counterfeiting that the money counter could read.

Nowadays, due to the increasingly fierce market competition, some money counting machine companies have adopted low-cost marketing competition methods at the cost of reducing product quality. As a result, the disorderly and vicious competition in the money counting machine market has intensified, and low-quality and low-priced money counting machines have flooded the market. Seriously affected the normal operating order of the industry. Compared with the four major banks' successful bid counters, the performance, quality, and price of electronic components, various sensors, large motors, transformers, and mechanical hardware of such low-cost counters are quite different. The price difference can be up to five times. Therefore, such banknote counters are naturally greatly discounted in performance indicators such as anti-counterfeiting effects, stability, temperature rise, and machine life.

Due to the lack of understanding of the problems of ordinary currency counters by ordinary consumers, they have chosen it based solely on price factors, making it occupy a large share of the current domestic market. At the same time, it has also given some large brand currency counter manufacturers and their The high-quality and high-price banknote counter caused a great impact, forcing these manufacturers to follow the example of launching low-price banknote counters to participate in the competition. As prices are getting lower and lower, profits are becoming smaller and smaller, which has caused most banknote counter manufacturers to be reluctant to invest in the development of new technologies. It has also caused the current technology of banknote counters to lag behind the speed of upgrading counterfeit coins. Development is extremely unfavorable. The above are the main problems in the current currency counter industry in China.

To change the situation of disorderly competition, each manufacturer must strengthen the industry's self-discipline awareness, regulate market competition behavior, and product quality must fully meet the requirements of relevant national standards. It is hoped that the quality supervision and management department will, in conjunction with the issuance and annual review of the cash register industrial product production license, strictly control the entry of the industry and cancel the production qualifications of manufacturers that do not meet the relevant requirements. At the same time, the supervision and inspection of the quality of money counters on the market should be strengthened, and manufacturers of substandard products should be severely punished to prevent substandard products from entering the market. While protecting the vital interests of consumers, it also protected law-abiding manufacturers. Legal rights.

In the past few years, the banknote counting machine still uses the technology successfully developed in previous years. There is not much breakthrough in counterfeit detection technology. In addition, the impact of low-quality and low-cost banknote counting machines on the market has also caused most of the problems. Banknote machine manufacturers are unwilling to invest more in the development of new technologies and sensors, and everyone is unwilling to take too much risk. This has also resulted in not many breakthroughs in the change of coinage and magnetic counterfeit detection technology in recent years. This is not to say that counterfeit money is progressing fast, but that the money counter is standing still. In fact, in the research of coinage change, not all banknote counting machine manufacturers have stopped their research. As long as we make unremitting efforts, we can definitely make a breakthrough in technology.

In the second half of 2008, high-simulation HD and HB counterfeit coins appeared in the country. Such counterfeit coins, regardless of manufacturing process or machine-readable characteristics, are very close to real coins. This time the fake RMB is a new version of counterfeit coins for banknote counting machines. This time the counterfeit currency features a smooth face, which is offset lithographic printing, but has a bumpy feel in some parts. It is made by pressing tools and has obvious indentations. The denomination of light-varying ink is printed with pearlescent ink. The three-dimensional impression of fixed watermark is poor. Silver-grey ink imitation printed window opening security line; the four digits in the middle of the crown number "2683" are printed with the number and magnetized to make it magnetic; a fake security line with a magnetic code is sandwiched on the face of the counterfeit currency. However, it can obviously deceive and be more harmful if it can pass various brands of money counters in the current market. HD counterfeit currency is represented by DB, CE, CH, SA and other counterfeit currency with high degree of emulation, which makes the software and hardware of banknote counters of major banks and merchants in China need to be upgraded. Waves have not yet settled again, and then, the "elite", including troublemakers of counterfeit currency manufacturing, money counter manufacturers, and money counter professionals, are also researching and manufacturing more hidden, higher-end, and more difficult to make alterations and patchwork. Coins, taking advantage of this chaotic situation, test each other and crack down on competitors 'machines, so that the major points of the counterfeit counters' enterprises can not be confused. They can only continue to write articles on the magnetism and continuously modify the magnetic characteristics and magnetism. The software parameters of the waveform chart information are as of 2009-06-17, and no software of the money counter can temporarily stabilize it. This incident of counterfeit currency storms is mainly because the counterfeiters broke through the identification method of the security line, causing domestic money counter companies to think calmly and dig out how to make new breakthroughs in technology. It can be said that this time the counterfeit currency turmoil has also given a new inspiration to the technical innovation of Chinese currency counters. New authentication technology is required to make the currency counters work once and for all.

During 2009, China initiated the drafting of the new "Universal Technology of RMB Discriminator" standard, which plays a very important role in promoting the development of the industry and technological innovation. The new standard regulates the grades of A, B, and C currency counters. The requirements for A-type machines in particular are that the counter's identification technology is an innovative technical requirement, and also represents the cutting-edge technology of future identification technology. New standards It is planned to be released on May 1, 2010 and enforced on May 1, 2011.

In the short term, the situation of the domestic money counting machine market still exists, but the truly powerful manufacturers will certainly develop and produce through their own technological innovation, stronger identification capabilities, more stable performance, longer life, High-end money counter products with updated styles and reasonable prices. At the same time, the market of foreign currency counters will still be a development direction of the future market. Due to the high technical content of the above products, the profit margin is relatively large, which can avoid a frontal impact with a low-quality and low-cost money counter.

As of the end of 2011, there were several types of corporate entities in China's cash register: 1. The market structure was divided into bank market, civilian market, and export market;
