How to choose an electronic platform scale
In industrial production, in addition to weighing modules, there is also a direct use of electronic platform scales for weighing. So, how to choose a suitable platform scale for the site?
1. Scale platform size:
Generally, when planning to use an electronic platform scale, we need to select the shape and size of the scale according to the shape of the item being weighed; The most commonly used shapes for platform scales are circular or square, and the shapes used in industry are mostly square; The size of the weighing platform generally has standard sizes, such as 30 * 40, 40 * 50, 50 * 60, and other different specifications. When selecting, the volume of the items to be weighed on site should be taken into account.
2. Material:
According to the different requirements of different occasions, platform scales can generally be divided into two materials, namely stainless steel and alloy steel. If there are special requirements, stainless steel is generally preferred. However, for some cost conscious occasions, alloy steel material scales can also be used with stainless steel scales; However, this choice can be made based on one's actual situation.
3. Accuracy level:
When selecting any weighing product, attention should be paid to the accuracy level of the product. C3 accuracy can meet the needs of most occasions, but there are some occasions where higher accuracy requirements may require C6 accuracy.
4. Instrument functions:
According to the instrument power supply, it can be divided into battery type and non battery type; The battery version can be charged for easy movement of the platform scale; Non battery models have certain limitations.
According to their functions, instruments can be divided into display instruments and control instruments. Display instruments only display weight and are generally suitable for on-site weighing. After placing the goods on the weighing platform, someone on site will record them; And the control instrument is because it has a communication protocol inside, which can provide weight and timely feedback to the control system according to requirements; But in some situations, non-standard functions such as Bluetooth and counting may be required. You can communicate with the manufacturer according to your actual needs.
4. Explosion proof: According to the actual usage situation on site, attention should also be paid to the selection of explosion-proof when choosing a platform scale. The required explosion-proof level varies in different occasions.
The above are some points to pay attention to when choosing an electronic platform scale, but there may be various requirements and functions in actual application and selection. Please feel free to contact us for consultation at any time.
