Many different types of industrial operations require pallet scales to weigh materials. This can happen with shipping and receiving or on the manufacturing floor. As a broad generalization, the scale should be heavy-duty, high quality, and accurate to achieve the desired goals. A wide range of industrial scales is available for a wide range of … Continued
Weighing systems usually incorporate some type of User Interface. Naturally, the person operating the scale needs to see the amount of weight on the scale platform. They often also need to use controls to instruct the scale for specific operations, such as displaying the weight in the correct units of pounds, or grams, or some … Continued
Scales are an important part of the industrial world. They are used in most manufacturing processes, shipping and receiving, packaging, and formulation.

In common terminology, a load cell is a device which converts a weight into an electrical signal. A more technical term would be a type of force transducer. In the broadest sense, a transducer converts energy from one format into another. Ideally, the transfer happens through the base of the load cell as force is … Continued
Scales are used to measure weight. When an item is placed on the scale platform, it causes a weight transducer internal to the scale to respond to that weight with an electrical signal. This signal is sent to a Weight Indicator, or sent electronically to some other control system, to utilize that information. Usually, this … Continued
