The EC Series Counting Scales offer all the features demanded from industrial, warehousing and production applications, including easy-to-use manual Average Piece Weight entry with configuration options for either pound or gram display.
The scales are designed with a removable stainless steel weighing pan and durable ABS plastic housing, perfect for use in industrial environments.

* Operation is Easy - for fast and accurate counting, users simply place a known quantity of what they wish to count on the scale and press the dedicated Sampling Key or, for components where unit weight is known, simply input the value on the dedicated APW key.
The scale will automatically display the total count of all parts on the pan as well as calculate and display the unit weight of the part.
Users can start with a small sample size of 10, and then add random lots of pieces (below original sampling size) to increase their APW accuracy.
The software in the machine automatically updates and enhances its average piece weight data as components are loaded onto the pan during counting.
If the total weight or APW is too low, the EC Counting Scale will warn the user with a notice on the LCD panel.
The EC Series Counting Scales provide weighing, counting and accumulation application modes, and can perform both positive and negative counting, continuously keeping track of how many items have been added or removed from the scale.
The counting scales have dedicated keys for the most common counting operations, including Sample, Tare, Zero, APW entry stability, accumulations and pre-set tare entry.
Preset tare weights can be quickly entered via the keyboard, or by using the Tare key.
The memory accumulation feature keeps a running tally of each individual count - invaluable in batch counting operations or when accumulation counting large quantities of the same part.
The counting scales also include 10 memory locations for storing commonly-used part weights, easily accessed using the numeric keypad.
