Counting scales

A bench scale measures weight. A counting scale uses a sample of known quantity to calculate average piece weight and determine the number of parts at larger quantities.

We recommend taking the weight of the smallest component and dividing it by five to determine the scale accuracy needed for a reliable count. Keep in mind that as the scale’s capacity increases, so does its increment. When counting smaller components, it’s best to keep the capacity as low as possible and handle large quantities in batches.

Yes, most scales can connect to a printer, a PC, or even both. The main thing to keep in mind is the data format or layout of the printout, some indicators offer advanced configuration options, while others allow only a basic format. To fully understand your requirements, please get in touch with us to discuss further.

If you buy or sell goods by weight and the weight determines the price, you legally need a trade-approved scale suitable for that purpose. This includes weighing goods sold by the kilogram or purchasing materials based on their weight.If you are unsure whether your application requires trade approval, contact us for advice.
