Mass Measurement


Versatile new scales thrive in harsh industrial environments

August 2013 Mass Measurement

Built for use in harsh environments, the new Mettler Toledo ICS scales are designed to withstand shocks, draughts and dust, while providing expert accuracy that can increase manufacturing productivity and profits.

The company has added the ICS425, 435, 445, 465 and 685 models to the ICS industrial scale family. These easy-to-use scales are perfect for the industrial environment. Mettler Toledo uses strain gauge or Monobloc technology based on a manufacturer’s unique needs for weighing precision.

Featuring ease of use, durability and accuracy, the scales boast large, bright display screens and intuitive command menus. They are easy to operate and prompt lead operators through step-by-step procedures. User-management profiles allow language, rights and key configuration settings for flexibility in work style and changeover of shifts.

Application levels can be tailored to simple weighing and counting or complex computations, such as totalising, totalising to target or over/under checkweighing and check counting.

Easy-toggle bar graphs show in-process results of activities, such as filling. Configurable soft keys and even hands-free capabilities allow users to program functions critical to a particular weighing process. These features help reduce operator workload in multi-step, labour-intensive processes thus increasing productivity.

Further enhancing operator comfort, scale terminals and platforms can be set up in compact, stand-up or separate component configuration. A rechargeable battery pack and WLAN connectivity allows cable-free operation for maximum flexibility. By adding colorWeight technology to screen readouts, operators easily know at a glance whether a weight or count is over, under or within the set target range for enhanced ergonomic benefit.

Interface options easily integrate with existing IT systems, second scales and other devices, such as barcode/RFID scanners. Pre and user-defined label templates in different formats and sizes offer an efficient documentation process as well.

Embedded data storage with alibi and transaction memory allows smart export/import functionality by USB stick or Ethernet, completing the scales’ incorporation into the line and allowing easy analysis of weighing and counting results.
