Scales for Metal Fabrication

When it comes to metal fabrication, there are quite a few components that go into ensuring that whatever you’re producing is of the highest quality. These large fabrications and assemblies include base plates and foundations for industrial-sized compressors, generators and turbines; large oil pans, precision heat platens, sanitary pressure vessels, and hydraulic presses. The grade of metal used in a product can make a huge difference when it comes to its strength and durability over long term use. Without accurate and precise weight measurements, it can be difficult for fabrication companies to understand if what they’re producing is robust enough for its intended use.

Arlyn Scales: Decades of Experience in the Metal Fabrication Industry

When it comes to turning to an industrial scale manufacturer, we understand that you have lots of options both on and offline. We’ve been in business for more than 30 years, which has given us a certain sense of what works and what doesn’t for the industries we serve. We’ve developed a bit of a niche surrounding developing the highest quality industrial scales and lines of off-the-shelf industrial scales, while also offering a whole host of custom scale solutions to meet our customer’s exact needs.

Being in the industry for so long is a testament to our high-quality products, but it’s also allowed us to continue to hone our craft and develop new scale features that are welcomed by many of our customers, including those in the metal fabrication industry. Below are just a few of the features you can enjoy when you purchase a scale from our company.

Key Features and Capabilities of Our Industrial Weighing Scales

Ultra Precision Scales For Ultimate Flexibility

In the metal fabrication industry, you may have a need to weigh objects of all different shapes and sizes. In the past, the higher capacity scale you needed, the less precise it would be when it came to accuracy. Thanks to an internationally patented technology called Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW), our Ultra Precision Scales can finally give you the best of both worlds: precision and capacity.

Our Ultra Precision Scales measure displacement as opposed to shock or stress, which allows us to manufacture these scales in a much more rugged fashion that does not sacrifice capacity or accuracy. We offer a wide range of models with capacities ranging all the way from 10 lb. to 1000 lb.

If you’re looking for precision readings at high capacities or looking to count large batches of small items, there really is no better solution for your facility’s needs. Having a proper foundation to begin metal fabrication process is critical when you’re weighing large scale components. We have engineered bench scales with unique scales’ capabilities that establish best practices for our clients needing precision weighing. When paired with sophisticated software or indicators, they form a complete weighing and data analysis system.

Stainless Steel Load Cells

One of the most fragile components of most industrial scales is the load cell. This is often because scale manufacturers will manufacture their load cells out of inferior materials like aluminum or steel and place them under more robust scale platforms to give customers a false sense of security.

At Arlyn Scales, the majority of our load cells are manufactured out of stainless steel, which ensures our scales are durable and accurate both today as well as into the future. In addition to manufacturing our strain gage load cells out of stainless steel, we also install and recess four load cells into each corner of our scale platforms.

Welding and large-scale weldments are central to the fabrication process. Since manufacturing parts and components from steel plate require cutting, welding, and weighing, this gives us a significant advantage in that it allows our scales to be much more resistant to shock loading and overloading, which are both problematic in the scale industry. By matching outputs, we’re able to also eliminate the summation board, which is another common failure point in many industrial scales.

US-Based Manufacturing

At Arlyn Scales, all of our design and manufacturing is done right here in our own facilities located in Long Island, New York. We have an experienced team of designers and manufacturing personnel that have decades of combined experience in the industry. We look at these employees as invaluable in our goal to deliver the highest quality industrial scales to each of our customers.

Factory Direct Business Approach

Similar to what makes our US based manufacturing approach so appealing to our customers, we also sell all our scales directly to our customers. This cuts out any middlemen or distributors and in turn, allows us to pass on some of these savings onto you, the customer. This also streamlines our support and allows us to work directly with our customers, as opposed to shifting the support of our products onto distributors that may simply not be able to provide the high level of support we can just be based on our intimate knowledge of our products as well as the overall industry itself.
