Weigh twice as many small packages
Suited for handling small packages, the Dual-Lane Sonic
350 Checkweigher performs in-motion weighing of semi-rigid or flexible and
hard-to-handle products weighing from 10 grams to 10 kilograms with accuracies
of up to +/- 0.1 gram. It weighs products of various shapes and sizes up to 18
inches in length at production rates of up to 400 units per minute. With a
second parallel conveyor belt, the checkweigher weighs twice as many items and
also weighs products from two different production lines on a common conveyor
line.

Precise, flexible counting
Two counting scales – Viper Smart Count and Viper
Monobloc Smart Count – provide powerful, flexible counting with precision.
Suitable for a variety of counting applications, the Viper Smart Count
incorporates strain gauge load cell technology with an internal resolution of 1
part in 3 million. The Monobloc system, which achieves an internal resolution of
1 part in 15 million, is ideal for counting very small pieces. The systems'
internal database stores up to 1,500 records, including article name and number,
average piece weight and tare weight. Bar code scanning and label printing can
be integrated with the scales.

Display weights in six units
The Quick Count scale displays any of six weighing units
– grams, ounces, pounds, troy ounces, pennyweights and carats – at the touch of
a button. All count and weight information can be transmitted to a printer or
computer via an RS232 serial data interface. The system's internal counting
resolution is 1 part in 500,000. To ensure accuracy, the scale monitors the
sampling process and notifies operators when the number of pieces is too small
or underweight.

Low-profile bench scales
Available in seven different models, the 3700LP series of
low-profile bench scales has a height of 3.2 inches or less, depending on the
model. Weighing capacities range from 10 to 250 pounds with three sizes offered:
10 × 10, 14 × 14 and 18 × 18 inches. Features include a backlit six-digit LCD
display with highly visible ½-inch characters, soft-touch Zero, units and print
keys and an RS232 interface. Users can switch units of measurement between
pounds, kilograms, grams and ounces, with two units displayed at a time.

Overhead crane features weight indicator
The MSI-9300 Porta-Weigh Plus RF digital crane scale provides a rugged weight indicator and data system for overhead crane applications. The system's circuitry is fully shock mounted and waterproof, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Large 2.1-inch ultra-bright LED digits are readable from up to 50 feet away. Wireless transmission of real-time weight and product information can be networked and communicated to the indicator at distances of up to 1,000 feet.

Weigh palletized and non-palletized shipments
A large-capacity dimensioning and weighing system
instantly and accurately cubes and weighs palletized, single piece, multi-piece
and crated shipments to assess shipping charges. With CubiScan 1000, operators
verify shipments and process multiple open airbills and multi-piece shipments
simultaneously. International and domestic 'dim weight' computations are
accommodated. All collected data is stored in QbitWin, a Windows-based software
package, and is easily transferred to a computerized host for processing.

Precisely count parts
Offering precise counting of parts, the DC-100 counting
scale is ideal for inventory control, receiving parts verification and parts
scanning applications. A bright, two-line dot matrix LCD display shows numeric
measurements and text messaging for job sequencing. The scale stores more than
1,500 records and features an internal resolution of 1 million counts. Its
internal battery with over 30 hours of use enables mobile counting applications.

Scales for static weighing and batching applications
Three weight indicators certified for legal-for-trade use
are available for static weighing and simple batching applications including
bench, floor and truck scales. The three systems – AD-4405, 4406 and 4407 – have
internal and display resolutions of 40,000 counts. The 4405 drives up to four
load cells and offers parts counting functionality. Featuring a 1-inch LCD
display and 'C' type battery, the 4406 is designed for portable bench/floor
scale applications. The 4407 has a rugged stainless steel housing to endure
harsh environments.

Lift truck on-board check weighing
Designed for on-board check weighing, the SP-Series
SkidWeigh Plus System can be installed on any lift truck, loader, lift table and
other materials handling vehicle. System lifting capacity readout is unlimited
and will not reduce the lift capacity of the equipment. SkidWeigh allows users
to enter the waybill identification number, accumulate load weights under
designated IDs, enter tare values and obtain printout tickets. Ticket re-ports
include such information as date, time, operator ID, vehicle number and total
weight.

Measure parcels on conveyors
Qtrace is a dimensioning system that measures length,
width, height and volume of parcels as they travel on a conveyor belt at speeds
up to 550 feet per minute. Its uses laser doppler imaging to provide 3D parcel
dimension and volume information. The system also identifies when two parcels
are touching each other as well as detect if parcels are side-by-side as they
move along the conveyor belt. No break in the conveyor belt is required to mount
the system overhead.
