Automated weighing systems sit at the heart of efficient production, ensuring every batch, part, or shipment is measured accurately while keeping lines moving. From heavy machinery to micro-electronics, manufacturers rely on scales not just to weigh, but to trigger automation, maintain quality, and protect profitability.
Arlyn Scales has been designing and manufacturing advanced weighing solutions for over 30 years. Built in the USA with factory-direct pricing, stainless steel durability, and advanced digital technology, our scales are engineered to integrate seamlessly into automated processes. Whether you’re dosing micro-ingredients, counting small components, or handling bulk materials, Arlyn provides the accuracy, connectivity, and customization that modern manufacturing demands.
Automation is no longer a competitive advantage — it’s the standard. By integrating weighing systems directly into production, manufacturers reduce labor costs, eliminate manual errors, and keep throughput consistent. Modern weighing equipment does far more than provide a number on a screen:
For manufacturers, this means fewer stoppages, tighter process control, and the ability to scale production with confidence.
Arlyn Scales offers a wide range of weighing systems that integrate directly into automated workflows. Each type is designed with specific manufacturing environments in mind.
Compact yet durable, these scales are ideal for portioning, batching, and mid-size material handling. They’re widely used in packaging, assembly, and process control where speed and precision matter.
Built for heavy-duty performance, our floor models handle pallets, drums, and bulk loads with ease. Stainless steel load cells and low-profile platforms ensure durability and ergonomic loading, even in corrosive or washdown conditions.
Powered by patented SAW technology, these models provide up to 20x the accuracy of standard strain gage scales. They’re the choice for industries like semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, where micro-ingredient dosing can make or break production quality.
For facilities classified as hazardous environments, the ArlynGuard line delivers intrinsically safe operation without compromising accuracy. Available in bench, platform, cylinder, and floor configurations, they ensure compliance while keeping workers safe.
No two manufacturing systems are identical. As a factory-direct manufacturer, we can design scales with custom sizes, outputs, and enclosures to fit seamlessly into your automated processes.
Automation depends on seamless communication between your scales and the rest of your production system. Arlyn Scales supports a full range of interfaces to keep data moving where it’s needed most.
