Keep control with tolerance weighing

Tolerance weighing can have many different functions, but one area where it is especially important is when employees need to lift objects. Ensuring workplace safety is critical, and a scale with a tolerance function can help with this.

For example, you can set the limit to 25 kg, and if the signal light turns red, the object is too heavy for the employee to lift. Tolerance weighing can also be used on conveyor belts, where objects are weighed and quickly moved along if they remain within the set limits. This ensures employees are protected and prevents anyone from lifting objects that are too heavy.

One example of a scale with this feature is the KERN EOC, a versatile and easy-to-move scale suitable for a variety of tasks.

Protect Employees with Tolerance Weighing

Professional and industrial scales come with many features, offering numerous ways to make everyday tasks easier in the workplace.

With tolerance weighing, also known as check weighing, you can set limits on the scale. This allows you to quickly and easily see whether the measured item falls within the predefined limits. If the weight is either below or above the set limit, the scale will signal it through a sound or light indicator.

Some scales feature displays that illuminate in green, yellow, and red, making it easy to see at a glance whether an item falls within the set limits. Another option is to install a signal lamp, which is available as an accessory. The lamp can be mounted at eye level for the employee, providing a clear indication when the limit is exceeded.

If your workplace requires frequent weighing of items, tolerance weighing can be a real advantage. For example, it helps ensure packages are the correct weight for shipping, avoiding unnecessary fees from postal services. It is also useful for bakers or restaurants, where precise measurements are essential. With tolerance weighing, you can be confident that ingredients are added in the correct amounts, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
