Large Ultra Precision Scales up to 500 lb, with Super Sensitivity and SAW Technology

Great for Superior Accuracy for high weight Parts Counting applications. Also an excellent choice for high accuracy formulation, batching, and mixing. Good choice for department of transportation labs, geotechnical and environmental testing for aggregates, asphalt, soil and ores. Large Ultra Precision Scales with Super Sensitivity and SAW Technology provides the same accuracy and far superior ruggedness as expensive top loading balances at less than half the cost.

A new technology has been invented by Arlyn Scales that uses solid state Surface Acoustic Wave technology, known as SAW scales. Metal load cells are still used, but the SAW devices do not measure stress or strain, but instead measures displacement. The amount of displacement required is very small. So the stress on the load cell is only a very small fraction of that in a standard strain gage load cell. This allows a remarkable reduction in the error terms that are normally seen with load cells.
