I need guidance on counting batch tokens up to 200 then stop.
Requirements:
Token size: Diameter 38.1mm. Thickens 3.81. All are color yellow with red writing.
Speed should be no more than 5 minutes for 200.
Chips would be fed from a 5 gallon bucket with 1000 tokens at most.
I am thinking a tube that would count as the token falls down, but not sure how to count tokens that fall sideways vs flat. Also 2 chips stuck together?
Or do I use a flat gravity counter.
I seen some counters on the project board that sort coins, which I dont need.

What is the weight of a token? Using weight is used in shops selling small komponents. Take a grab of stuff and put on a balance and divide the total by the weight of each item. It works for coins! I have tested.
Anyway You must be able to control the flow of tokens. Otherwise You might get a few too much if, lets say 3 or 4, drops down at the same time.
OP seems to have ghosted...
Weight was passed over back in Reply #3
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
It’s a pretty common method of measuring small transient quantities.
