Parts Counting Scales for Heavy Industrial Use

Details

What is a Parts Counting Scale and How Does it Work?

Parts counting scales convert the weight of a batch of parts into the number of pieces in that batch. This is accomplished by weighing a small sample of parts, calculating the weight of an individual piece, and then dividing the weight of the full batch by that calculated piece weight. While this sounds like it should be pretty simple, many of our competitors get it wrong. Our counting scales’ high precision and advanced digital algorithms make it a quick and easy process.

Micro and Precision Counting Scale Technology

Arlyn parts counting scales are sold Factory Direct, bringing very accurate counting ability at an economical cost. A precision-machined stainless steel load cell provides excellent counting accuracy, even with large batches up to 100 lb. Lower capacity scales are suitable for smaller parts. For those situations requiring even greater counting accuracy, see our Ultra Precision SAW scales.This patented technology increases precision by a factor of ten times or more – all at very reasonable cost.

Easy to Use Industrial Parts Counting Scales

In most situations, our “Quick Count” mode turns counts parting into a one step process without confusing menu functions. Equipped with a large internal memory, you can store the piece weight of many different items, effectively by-passing the sampling process. The optional remote digital indicator allows the display to be positioned almost anywhere. The moveable Swing Arm can be positioned for trouble-free viewing. A number of alternate weighing modes provide further versatility.

Data Collection

Inventory data is meant to be shared. We provide a wide choice of communication options to move your data to external computer systems or even to the web.

Extremely Rugged

These industrial parts counting scales include a stainless steel platform with a robust, machined aluminum frame. Four overload stops provide additional protection. The display enclosure is molded and then sealed with a rubber gasket for protection from moisture. The scale can be used out of the box, and does not require dealer set up or calibration services.

Import/Export of Sample Definitions

The Arlyn UpScale indicator is a versatile scale display indicator that not only offers the most advanced, state-of-the-art Scale Display Technology in the industry, but it also offers a myriad of functions and usability to allow the most flexibility in system integration. One of the newest features added in the Arlyn UpScale indicator is the ability to import Sample records (used for Parts Counting) from the customers’ existing database. The scale also provides the ability to export its current table of samples or tares so that it can be used in the customer’s data or just for backup purposes in case something happens to the scale. The Import/Export function is available in all Arlyn UpScale indicators equipped with USB Data Logging option.
