FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Counting Issues: |
|

|
How can a scale count something? I thought scales were only good for weighing things? |
|

|
Good question. A counting scale is, in fact, a weighing scale, but with two major differences. First, the load cell (the electromechanical device that translates pressure to weight) is about a hundred times more sensitive than the type you might find in a standard weighing scale. Secondly, it is the special circuitry inside a counting scale that allows it to interpret weight as a piece count. The scale's microprocessor compares the known weight of the sampling with the weight of the total lot on the scale and displays the corresponding count.

|
Why do you offer your scales in different weight capacities (6, 12, and 30 lbs. for example)? Since the price is the same, why wouldn't I just want the highest capacity possible? |
|

|
The critical decision when buying any scale is to match the scale's weight capacity with the counting task at hand. That's because there is an inverse ratio between a scale's weight capacity and it's sensitivity. The lower the weight capacity, the higher the sensitivity (the scale's ability to differentiate one part from another when counting). Inversely, the higher the weight capacity, the lower the sensitivity. This fact is not a limitation of our line of scales, it's just the laws of physics at work!
As an example, if your primary counting need is to count business cards, labels, small tags, or other light weight items, a low capacity scale, say 6 lbs., would be best. |
