With more and more manufacturing operations being moved overseas, it becomes increasingly difficult and expensive for businesses to find quality scales that will improve production times, lower cost and improve their competitive advantage. While some of the more expensive brands are of reasonable quality, they are generally limited to their standard lines of equipment. Businesses … Continued
A parts-counting scale calculates quantity from total weight and a representative average piece weight. Counting hundreds or thousands of fasteners, electronic components, fittings, washers, clips or other small parts by hand can consume valuable labor. It can also introduce counting and transcription errors that affect inventory records, production kits, purchase decisions and customer orders. An … Continued
Economic woes have affected every sector of industry, including the construction industry. It is not without careful scrutiny that profit margins have remained in place but for some the added benefit of highly precise scales have increased this margin further. With material costs being what they are, it behooves the industry sector to address the … Continued
While many people may think that all paper is alike, nothing could be farther from the truth. There are different styles and weights of paper. These different styles and weights create different qualities of paper. These different qualities of paper will in turn create different prices for different types of paper. However, to regulate these … Continued
Designing a scale to handle large weighing capacities day in and day out is no easy feat. All kinds of criteria need to be taken into account to design a scale to address this complex weighing environment. Arlyn Scales has been manufacturing scales and subassemblies for scales for more than thirty years. Our goals include … Continued
Pallet scales make it possible to weigh a variety of different types of loads directly from the loading ramp. With the use of these pallet scales, it becomes possible to save time, shortening the path that has to be taken with full pallets. Using these scales will also allow for reduction in the number of … Continued
Digital weighing scales are a vital component of many different industrial processes. Whether as part of a production line or part of a research laboratory, many different industries could not function without industrial scales. The main technology used in today’s electronic scales is the strain gauge load cell. These load cells consist of a piece … Continued
When we think of industrial scales, we often think of large platform scales with very high capacities that weigh large masses of ingredients and products in the industrial process. However, oftentimes, it just is as important to weigh the tiniest components that may weigh much less than a pound, and it is necessary to have … Continued
We live in a society that is governed by change. “The only constant is change,” a quote by Heraclitus in 500 B.C.E., applies to this day and age as much as it did 1500 years earlier. Good decisions take into account the direction the world is headed. This axiom is clear in the directives of … Continued
Over the last few decades, industrial scale technology has become stagnant. Strain gage load cells have been the predominant technology. However, these scales may not be as precise as some industries require. When strain gage scales are not capable of providing the necessary measurements, magnetic force restoration scales are used. However, these scales are much … Continued
