FAQ – Frequently asked questions about counting with counting scales
1. What is the smallest part weight and why does it matter?
The smallest part weight is the lowest single item weight a counting scale can reliably detect. The finer the scale, the smaller the part it can accurately count.
Tip: Choose a scale where the smallest part weight is lower than your actual item weight – for optimal results.
2. What does “counting resolution” mean?
Counting resolution indicates how many pieces can be accurately counted at a 1% deviation based on total weight.
The higher the resolution, the more accurate the count – a key quality factor.
3. How many items should I weigh for referencing?
To get an accurate count, you need a reference weight – the average weight of one item.
Simply place multiple parts on the scale – e.g., 5, 10, or 20 pieces. For small or inconsistent parts, a higher number (up to 100) is recommended to minimize error.
4. What is a counting system – and when do I need one?
A counting system consists of two interconnected scales:
• A high-precision reference scale (for individual item weight)
• A bulk scale with a large weighing range (for total weight)
This setup enables you to quickly and precisely count large quantities or heavy containers – such as pallets, cartons, or bins with thousands of parts.
A counting system is the solution when a standard table counting scale reaches its limits.
