Counting Scales

Counting scales combine weighing and piece-counting functions for commercial and industrial work involving parts, components, cartons, containers, and materials. They are used in inventory control, receiving, warehouse operations, production, assembly, shipping, order fulfillment, packaging, and inspection to count parts by weight, verify quantities, establish piece weights, and complete general weighing tasks.

Use Cases

Count, verify, and weigh in one workflow

Counting scales support inventory counts, receiving, stock control, assembly, production, packing, shipping, order fulfillment, and packaging. Available functions include parts counting, check counting, check weighing, percentage weighing, accumulation, target counting, and general weighing.

How to Choose

Match capacity and readability to the task

Choose a capacity that fits the items, cartons, containers, or materials being weighed: available models range from 6 to 150 lb. For detailed small-part work, compare the listed readability values, which range from 0.0001 lb to 0.005 lb across the represented scales.

Applications

Support recurring counting operations

For uniform small parts, select models with automatic sample update or automatic piece-weight refinement to keep piece-weight information current as parts are added. Preset tare functions help account for container weight, while programmable target counts support selected packing and fulfillment quantities.

Additional Information

Consider operation, display, and connections

Portable work can benefit from rechargeable battery power, including a compact bench model with up to 240 hours of operation and USB charging capability. Other available features include three-value displays, graphic displays, bright LED readouts, keypad data entry, built-in memory, dual-base input, and RS-232 output or interface connections.

Choose a scale sized for the load and the level of detail required

Capacity options represented in this category include 6, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 35, 50, and 150 lb. Smaller-capacity scales offer fine listed readability for detailed weighing and counting, while higher-capacity heavy-duty models support larger weighing and counting applications.

  • 6 lb models are available with 0.0001 lb or 0.002 lb readability.
  • A 15 lb compact model lists 0.0005 lb readability, and another 15 lb model lists 0.0002 lb increments.
  • A 35 lb bench model lists 0.001 lb readability.
  • 50 lb and 150 lb heavy-duty models list 0.005 lb resolution.
Counting workflow features

Select functions that fit your counting procedure

Basic parts counting is available across the category, while specific models add check counting, check weighing, check percent, percentage weighing, accumulation, automatic sample update, and automatic piece-weight refinement. These functions help teams establish or refine piece weight, compare counts or weights, and complete repeated count-based tasks.

  • Keypad-entry models allow entry of average piece weight, tare weight, sample quantity, and ID numbers.
  • Three-value displays show weight, unit weight, and piece count together.
  • Preset tare functions account for container weight during repetitive work.
  • Programmable target counts support counting to a selected quantity.
Workspace and operating considerations

Compare portability, platform format, and data-related features

Compact scales are suited to benches, work surfaces, and movement between work areas. Heavy-duty models provide options for higher-capacity applications, including a 150 lb model with a 12 x 14 in. platform. Some models provide rechargeable operation, while certain heavy-duty models offer AC/DC rechargeable power. Connectivity and display options vary by model.

  • Compact footprints include a 12 x 13.5 in. bench scale and an 11-13/16 x 8-7/8 in. platform.
  • An 11 in. platform is available on a 6 lb scale, and an 11 x 11 in. platform is available on a 15 lb scale.
  • Dual-base input supports sample-to-bulk counting with a remote base.
  • RS-232-equipped models provide time and date output or an interface connection, depending on the model.
