When we think of industrial scales, we often think of large platform scales with very high capacities that weigh large masses of ingredients and products in the industrial process. However, oftentimes, it just is as important to weigh the tiniest components that may weigh much less than a pound, and it is necessary to have … Continued
Any pig farmer knows just how difficult it can be to maintain a herd and ensure its profitability. Not only must animals be kept healthy; they must achieve and maintain a specific weight by a certain date to ensure that the highest number of pigs qualify for the packer’s accurate weight bonuses. Why Livestock Scales … Continued
It is abundantly apparent that our lives have been made so much easier through the many new technologies that we embrace today, and becoming more automated is one of the ways we have benefited within the industrial weighing industry. With all of the new innovations at our disposal, we have become more efficient and require … Continued
The most critical part of any industrial scale is the transducer which senses force as an input and provides an electrical signal as an output. These transducers are used in most standard types of digital scales. For smaller capacities, a single transducer in the middle of the scale platform is utilized for bench scales. Parts … Continued
Electronic measuring instruments are designed to provide very accurate results. For industrial applications, there are instruments for measuring temperature, pressure, voltage and current, color, light levels, sound frequency and amplitude, velocity, and a very wide variety of other values. One of the most common applications is for electronic scales to accurately measure weight. There are … Continued
Scales have always been an important piece of equipment to accurately measure the weight of things. Many consumers may have scales in their homes to track their own weight. However, scales also play a very important part in various types of industries. Scales are considered vital in many different types of businesses. There are various … Continued
While technology has seen great advances over the last sixty or so years, it is only recently that these advances have shifted into the industrial realm of scales. Prior to these advances, industries whose operations required weight measurements had to choose between the two standard types of scale technology — strain gage and magnetic force … Continued
We live in a society that is governed by change. “The only constant is change,” a quote by Heraclitus in 500 B.C.E., applies to this day and age as much as it did 1500 years earlier. Good decisions take into account the direction the world is headed. This axiom is clear in the directives of … Continued
Industrial scale technology has been fairly stagnant for a number of years. The predominant technology has been strain gage load cells. When increased accuracy is required, magnetic force restoration, also known as magnetic force motor transducers are used. The disadvantage of force restoration is significantly increase cost. Recently, though, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) scales have … Continued
Over the last few decades, industrial scale technology has become stagnant. Strain gage load cells have been the predominant technology. However, these scales may not be as precise as some industries require. When strain gage scales are not capable of providing the necessary measurements, magnetic force restoration scales are used. However, these scales are much … Continued
So often in our industry, we find our competitors buying foreign scales and subassemblies and rebranding them. Mixing parts detracts from the overall quality and performance of the scale; so does buying low quality devices from overseas. At Arlyn Scales, we do not conduct business this way. When you’re looking for the best industrial bench … Continued
Multi use platform scales provide the exact function that their name suggests. They are functional for a wide variety of uses. As an example, in the medical community, they might be used to weigh patients in a standing position but also to weigh those who are confined to a chair. The multiple uses of this … Continued
