]]> Counting Scales basic information tag:scalesrus.net,2008-04-07:737efa03-93b3-4016-8df1-5ba5278add22 Admin 2008-04-07T14:35:44Z 2008-04-07T14:31:00Z Counting scales look at the weight of the items you place on the weighing platform and divide the weight by the number of pieces you entered, to compute the average piece weight (APW). This is how a digital counting scale displays the number of pieces or parts. No digital counting scale will ever work though if there is a significant variation in the weight of the items. The larger the initial sample (100 pieces versus 5 pieces) the better results the counting scale can provide since it averages out any variations in the piece weights.

So, how do you know which counting scale is best for you? First, find a model that meets your capacity and accuracy requirements (remember the least amount of capacity you can handle is better). In fact, if you’re going to be weighing really light pieces, then possibly a balance with parts counting would be your best choice. Then, look at the features required for your applications (both now and in the future) such as computer/printer interfacing capability, battery operation, ability to connect a larger platform scale (remote scale), etc…

Almost all are the the perfect blend of ruggedness for industrial environments and portability for operator convenience. Many different brands to choose from with almost all in stock!

A few words of wisdom regarding counting scales. Don't buy a counting scale with too much maximum capacity. For example, if 3/4 of the time you will be counting no more than 10 lbs of parts at a time, a 10 lb. capacity counting scale is the ideal choice as opposed to a 50 lb. capacity scale since you may be sacrificing resolution so you can have a larger capacity. Too many times, consumers see the large capacity and think they may need that in the future or they need it to count the couple of larger items that they have. If you think you may need to weigh and count larger items in the future, just make sure you buy a counting scale with a remote scale option available. Examples include the Digi DC-788, Cardinal 2240, & Pennsylvania 7600 counter. Then when the time comes you can add a bench scale platform or even a 4’x4’ floor scale. That way you can weigh / count large and small amounts. ]]> Economical and high value platform scale for weighing animals? tag:scalesrus.net,2007-08-07:a01b7efa-842b-40ee-8301-7cc5b20e1897 Admin 2007-08-07T13:54:02Z 2007-08-07T13:47:00Z Believe it or not the solution for an economical quality animal scale is right here.
