Scheduled Data Log Emails

The weighing data collected by industrial scales plays an essential role in many business operations. As technology has advanced, so have the ways you can record and log this data. You no longer need to have someone manually handwrite or type every weight measured by your scales. With options like the Arlyn UpScale Indicator, you … Continued

Intrinsically Safe Load Cells

Industrial environments come in every imaginable configuration. All of them must be kept safe from fire and explosion, but most do not need any special steps taken to achieve this goal. But others, by the nature of what they manufacture and how they do so, have special regulations to keep them safe. Dangerous situations can … Continued

What Is Intrinsic Safety?

Manufacturing facilities come in different sizes with different equipment and wiring. They use different processes and different materials to manufacture various end products. With hazardous environments, you need to factor in intrinsic safety. Most manufacturing work environments are quite benign. The materials being used are not hazardous, or poisonous, or caustic or corrosive. They are … Continued

How To Weigh A Gas Cylinder

Liquified gas cylinders are ubiquitous throughout industry. Some of the more common types include carbon dioxide, chlorine, ammonia, liquified propane gas, also known as lpg, nitrous oxide, and many, many others. The most common size cylinder used is about 9” in diameter, and can be about 45” in height. There are specific industries that use, … Continued

Digital Load Cells

What are Digital Load Cells? Let’s start with Analog Load Cells Traditionally, most industrial scales are equipped with analog strain gauge load cells. Analog strain gauge load cells are simple, passive devices that are generally robust and easy to use. Besides the small resistor bridge on the load cell surface, and a number of temperature … Continued

Small Automotive Parts Inventory System

Keeping track of small automotive parts inventory is no small task. Using a counting scale is one way to ensure the process runs more smoothly, but many counting scales are not capable of providing a high level of accuracy needed in certain situations. When using counting scales, inaccuracies can occur and most often happen when … Continued

How to Calibrate Load Cells

When it comes to industrial scales, one of the most important components is proper calibration. Unfortunately, the process to calibrate most scales is arduous and complicated, which can spell significant revenue loss for growing companies. Many scale manufacturers require their users to actually take their scales out of service for calibration, and some even require … Continued
