Counting Scales

A: A counting scale is an electronic device designed to weigh objects and count them. Users can weigh a single object and place a batch on the scale. The scale will use the object’s weight to calculate the number of pieces. You can even use the keypad on digital scales to enter or recall a known weight and count from the scale’s memory. They’re well-suited for inventory taking or packing tasks. Compact models take little space and can be used for simple tasks, while floor models can handle heavy duty counting applications. Their sensitive software optimizes piece count with each weighing for superior accuracy.

A: Set low and high limits. Adam counting scales feature an audible alarm that can be programmed to sound when a certain count is reached. Set it to speed up tasks like packing or batching. Some ranges include colored LEDs that change color if the object is under, over or within the preset limits.

A: A scale’s accumulation feature adds up the results from multiple counting and weighing tasks. That can be useful if the scale’s capacity or weighing pan are limited, or even to clear up space. See our blog post detailing the accumulation feature for more information.
