[QUOTE="Fred Weinberg, post: 3029194, member: 86437"]I'm not quite sure what you're asking. There are no lasers and electronic eyes being used to spot errors after they are struck. Are you talking about die making? As far as errors, it's the Schuler Horizontal Presses' that have basically eliminated a vast majority of the mechanical errors struck and released - In general (and there are exceptions, of course) the only mechanical errors (not talking about die errors) that get produced and released (since 2002) are [SIZE=3]clips, filled dies, partial collar strikes and some [/SIZE]broad strikes[SIZE=3].[/SIZE] Because of those horizontal presses, if a planchet is now mis-fed in the collar, the planchet simply drops down, and is not struck. Because these presses can strike about 600 coins per minute, there are still planchets that don't fit into the collar just a second before striking, so you get either partial collars, or broadstrikes.[/QUOTE]
