Description

A note sorting machine, also know as Currency Sorting machine is a device that counts, sorts, and authenticates banknotes with high speed and accuracy, using technologies like CIS, UV, IR, and magnetic sensors to detect counterfeit notes and classify them by denomination, orientation, and fitness. These machines feature robust construction, user-friendly displays, and various operating modes to streamline cash handling processes for banks, financial institutions, and cash-intensive businesses, reducing manual errors and ensuring compliance with central bank regulations.

Key Functions and Features

• Counting: Accurately counts the number of notes fed into the machine.
• Sorting: Categorizes notes based on several parameters:
  • Denomination: Groups notes by their face value.
  • Fitness: Sorts notes into categories of usable or unusable based on their condition.
  • Orientation: Separates notes by their face/back or orientation.
  • Mixed Mode: Can sort and count a mix of different denominations simultaneously.

Counterfeit Detection: Utilizes multiple detection technologies to identify fake banknotes:

• CIS Contact Image Scanner: Captures high-resolution images of the notes.
• UV (Ultraviolet Light): Detects fluorescent markings.
• IR (Infrared Sensor): Checks for infrared features for authenticity.
• MG (Magnetic Sensor): Detects magnetic ink.
• Thickness Sensor: Verifies the physical thickness of the note.
• Batching: Allows for setting batch sizes for easier handling and bundling of notes.
• Other Features:
  • Serial Number Search: Some advanced models can search for specific serial numbers.
  • Multi-Currency Processing: Capable of handling and authenticating various global currencies.

How it Works

1. 1. Feeding:

Users feed a stack of mixed currency notes into the machine’s hopper.

1. 2. Processing:

As notes pass through the machine, internal sensors scan them for features like images, UV markings, and magnetic ink.

1. 3. Authentication & Sorting:

The machine uses the scan data to determine the note’s authenticity, denomination, and fitness, then directs it to the appropriate stacker.

1. 4. Output:

Sorted and counted banknotes are collected in output stackers, with rejected counterfeit or unusable notes placed in a separate reject stacker.
