In fast-paced industrial settings, accuracy isn’t a luxury — it’s non-negotiable. But staying accurate usually means taking your scale out of service, calling in a technician, and burning time your team doesn’t have.
Arlyn Scales takes a different approach.
Our platform, floor, and drum scales come equipped with built-in digital calibration features that let your team recalibrate on the spot, without pulling the scale from the floor or halting operations.
Whether you’re blending chemicals, batching raw materials, or prepping freight, staying calibrated shouldn’t slow you down. We make sure it doesn’t.
Why Automated Calibration Makes a Difference
Most industrial scales gradually drift — not because they’re faulty, but because of things like temperature swings, electrical interference, and simple wear. Over time, those small changes add up.
The usual fix?
- Shut down operations
- Wait for a service tech
- Restart everything once it’s done
It’s time-consuming and expensive — especially if you’re running a 24/7 operation. That’s why Arlyn’s automated calibration lets you correct drift without downtime.
Calibrate in Place. Mid-Shift. No Special Tools.
Every Arlyn industrial scale includes a user-friendly digital display that walks you through the calibration process. You’ll need a certified test weight, but that’s it — no laptop, no internet, no external tools. You don’t even have to move the scale.
How to Calibrate Your Arlyn Scale
Here’s the step-by-step process:
- Open the Setup Menu
- Press the “Setup Menu” button on the scale’s indicator.
- Go to Platform Setups → Span Calibration.
- Enter the Test Weight Value
- Input the exact weight of your test item.
- (Ideally, use something that’s about 50% of the scale’s full capacity.)
- Remove the Weight
- Save the value, take the item off the scale, and press Enter.
- Place the Test Weight Again
- Put the same weight back on the platform.
- After a second or two, press Enter.
That’s it. You’ll get a confirmation, and the scale is calibrated.
