Counting Scales

HIGH-QUALITY COUNTING SCALES

A counting scale can save you time and money on inventory control. Hand-counting parts is time-consuming, inefficient and impractical. With part counting scales, you can always ensure inventory is up-to-date and highly accurate through automated data collection.

When counting thousands of pieces or parts, accuracy is vital. Small mistakes can mean significant expenses, missed production cycles, and wasted components. A piece-counting scale is an efficient tool for accurately determining the number of parts in receiving, warehousing, production, or shipping.

COUNTING SCALES OFFER VERSATILITY

Beyond counting, some counting scales even allow you to check-weigh, totalize, and maintain a local database of parts inventory onboard the scale. System Scale offers a full range of counting solutions, from simple parts counting scales to ERP-integrated high-resolution, multi-scale counting systems.

Counting parts or pieces can be influenced by a variety of factors, including:

  • Part weights and their deviation
  • The accuracy of the counting scales (counting resolution)
  • The environment
  • The smaller the average piece weight, the higher the counting resolution needed to achieve accurate results in a defined range. 

System Scale can help you consider these factors and more when selecting the right scale for your needs.

Counting Scale Service & Maintenance

Once you have purchased a scale, installation and operator training are important next steps. Counting scales must also be periodically tested and maintained to ensure precision over time.

Scale calibration is also important when operating a two-scale system. Without periodic scale calibration, there is no guarantee of accuracy. Timely calibration and regular maintenance ensure the scale will routinely deliver the results you rely on.
