Talking Scales
However, one of the best uses for a text to speech option when considering workplace safety is for use with an explosive environment scale. In a case where hazardous materials are in use and the scale is built with four stainless steel load cells embedded in a welded frame for maximum shock and abuse resistance, the business of safety is serious. Workplace hazards can be minimized when the hazardous materials handler can stay completely focused on handling, without needing to watch the digital display.

Wi-Fi Frees Industrial Scales from Data Cables
In an age where constant email checking is becoming a necessity, Wi-Fi is all the rage. Besides being important in the home and the office, it is found in airports, at train stations, and on moving buses. Now, it is also found in industrial scales.

Precise Aggregate Testing with SAW Scales
Aggregates are everywhere we look in the world around us. These materials, which are made up of an aggregate of different other materials, including various types of stones, clay, silt, and sand, include the asphalt that paves our roads, the concrete that is used for the foundations of our skyscrapers, or the cement that makes up the bricks of our homes. There is no single aggregate-each one is made differently for a different purpose. One aggregate that uses a certain mixture of stones, silt, and petroleum-based binding may have very different characteristics than one that uses another mixture of pebbles, clay, and a different binding. One aggregate may be more suitable for roads while another may be more suitable for sidewalks.
Platform Scales used in Recycling Programs
Recycling programs have become widespread in many industries for several different reasons. Economically, it is extremely viable for companies to sell any unused materials, including steel, iron, glass, plastic, rubber, wood, paper, and precious metals, to recycling companies. Environmentally, any products that are reused rather than placed in landfills help protect valuable land and nature. [...]
Precision Scales Provide Accurate Weights, Even at Low Temperatures
In almost any industry, it is very important that all weight measurements be extremely precise. However, many different conditions affect the precision of industrial scales. Precision scales must be on stable, level surfaces. They should not be exposed to water or other material which may corrode the load cell and the housing. Industrial scales should be kept at room temperature.
Industrial Scales are Made More Rugged by Using the Right Materials
Industrial scales are often subject to very harsh conditions. A cylinder scale may have to support a 250 pound tilted liquid gas cylinder as it is being loaded on and off. A platform scale may be subject to high shock loads as large pallets are placed on it by a forklift. Parts counting scales may also have to support these shock loads if a large batch of parts are placed on it at one time.

Use Digital Scales to Control Automatic Filling
All types of liquids, powders, pellets, slurries and other materials are handled in a wide variety of different types of cans, buckets, pails, drums, tanks and other types of containers. Traditionally, these have been filled by hand. Liquids are often dispensed by a manually operated pump or gravity fed valve. Other types of materials may [...]

Industrial Scales Protected from Difficult Environments
No one ever said that it was easy to be an Industrial Scale. This type of electronic scale must be very accurate, or for certain demanding applications they must be ultra precise. They must be easy to use, so that even untrained users can obtain weights without errors. Digital industrial scales must be able to [...]

Industrial Scales Use the Internet to Send Data
The primary purpose of an industrial scale is to obtain weight data. For many applications, that data is used locally. For example, a shipping clerk may weight a package on a platform scale and write the weight directly into a shipping manifest. On the production line, a parts counting scale may be directly used to [...]
