Our Mettler Toledo counting scales are commodities that are easily purchased on the Web. The counting and scale equipment is a fairly low tech device that can provide a tremendous benefit to your operation. In the past 23 years, I’ve seen lots of applications that could benefit from the use of our Mettler counting scales. Certainly labor is one of the greatest costs of production in American Manufacturing, but with our Mettler portable counting scales you can do the job, of counting product, in 5% of the time with a much greater accuracy.
The key to selecting your Mettler portable counting scales are two fold. First, only purchase the scale capacity that is required for your application. For ergonomic reasons, most counting scale applications will not require more than a 50 lbs capacity scale. You will never fill your boxes with parts greater than 50 lbs, because a 50 lb box is heavy for your operators to carry.
The second key selection criterion is counting accuracy. You’ll notice that each of our Mettler counting scale products list capacity and accuracy. Here’s an example XTC-II-1103 –Capacity / Resolution 15lb X 0.001. The first number represents the scales capacity of (15lb). The second number is the scales accuracy (0.001 lb). The increment size should be greater than or equal to the individual weight of the smallest part I am going to weigh. Let's say my application is for counting hardware attachments used in the assembly of a barbecue grill. The boxes I have on my shelf are not greater than 35 lbs. And the smallest part I have to weigh is a lock washer and it weighs 0.002 lbs. (that's approximately 1 gram). So if I look at the available Mettler counting scales at Xpress Scales, the XTC-II-4103 - (Capacity/Resolution 60lb X 0.002), looks like a great fit for the counting application.
The ability for a counting scale to count accurately will be directly related to the consistent weight of my smallest product, and the corresponding accuracy of my scale. It’s easy to purchase counting scales from across the web, but when you buy Mettler Toledo scales from Xpress Scales, you’re assured of receiving the highest quality counting scales, with a money back guarantee.
