PCE counting scales can be used in several different fields as some can measure in milligrams and others in tons. The counting scales can, for instance, be used in industry and commerce or for professional weighing and piece counting and serve either as quantity scales, reference scales or as verifiable industrial scales for professional use and meet all the quality requirements of modern scales. Typical areas of application are incoming goods, production, development and sales. PCE counting scales normally have a certain storage capacity, which makes them an irreplaceable tool for professional use.
They are the ideal tool for determining the amount of pieces with high accuracy, i. e. for inventory activities, for example for counting small objects like screws, washers, etc. How counting scales work: For the piece counting function, it is necessary to determine the real weight of one piece. Depending on the model, the piece weight can be entered by weighing the piece or entering the value via the keypad. The weight which is placed on the weighing platform is divided through the previously set piece weight. However, slight deviations in the piece weight can sum up to incorrect results. By means of reference updating, the average value of the piece weight can be adjusted to improve the result. There are counting scales that can display the total weight, the piece weight and the calculated quantity at the same time.
Although inventory scales have been optimised for counting, this does not mean that they are inferior to other scales when it comes to their other functions. The counting scales consist of many different components, which have corresponding official certificates. Any PCE counting scales are supplied in calibrated condition and, if required, verifiable models can be verified by us or on our behalf. Counting scales must be verified, for example, when they are used for packaging. In order to abide to the law, official verification is compulsory. Therefore, our inventory scales are verified.
We can also take care of re-calibrations and installation. In most cases, counting scales can be powered by a 240 V mains adaptor or battery operated. Battery-powered counting scales work independently from where they are placed and thus enable mobile use. PCE always offers some optional equipment along with their counting scales such as an ISO certificate. Counting scales should be chosen according to the minimum weight of the piece for the piece counting function. In order to choose the appropriate counting scales, it is important to bear in mind that counting scales with an internal resolution of only 10 grams cannot weigh pieces of 0.1 grams.
