Pill Counting Machine for RX Count

Precision Research was contracted to design a Pill Counting machine for use in Phamacies. The objective was to provide a low cost, compact unit to automatically count prescriptions faster and more accurately than manual counting.

The first unit was operational in 5 1/2 months.

The design was completed in 1968 and the machines as originally released are still in production in 2008 and enjoying robust sales..

RX Count had developed a prototype counting concept and needed a complete design to manufacture in high volume (5000 to 10000 units). Precision Research was contracted to to take the concept from the prototype through to initial production with the objective of achieving reliability and ease of assembly on a manual production line.

Precision Research styled, designed, and assisted is managing the initial production. The design employed an injection molded case, containers and other components including gears, bearings and mounting details. Design, engineering and initial production commenced in 5 1/2 months.
