Do cheap counting scales really save you money?

As the customer you put value on your product, the price at which you buy and sell at, whether it is high or low there are a few important points that need to be taken into consideration before investing in a counting scale.

1) The value of items being counted
2) The piece weight of the smallest and largest part
3) Acceptable loss (how many over or underacounts will you accept)
4) Internal resolution

Points 1 to 3 have a direct correlation with Internal resolution, many manufacturers quote displayed resolution showing upwards of 60,000 divisions. What this doesn't tell you is its accuracy when counting.

A scales Internal resolution always determines its overall accuracy when counting. Internal resolution is the most important factor to consider when buying a counting scale.

Imagine that your parts have a value of 5 pence each, its plausible that you could lose 1% per count. On a count of 1000 that equates to 50p. It may not sound a great deal of money, but if on average there was 10 weighings a day over a year that adds up to £1300.00. That is a considerable amount of money to lose, of course it may never be quite as bad as that example, but it is certainly worth giving thought to.

The counting scales found for sale will always state the Internal Resolution simply because it is the most important factor when buying a counting scale.
