Ohaus Tallies Win With Low Cost EC Series Counting Scale
Advancing accuracy, durability and portability into one practical design, Ohaus
offers the EC Counting scales. Geared for users seeking more economical
and cost-effective counting solutions, the EC Inventory Counting Scales provide
ease-of-use and reliable results.
The EC3 high-resolution counting scales has 6 lbs / 3000g weighing capacity
and offers readability to 0.0002 lbs / 0.1g. We like to recommend when
selecting a counting scale you choose a counting scale with readability 3 times
greater than the lightest part you plan on counting. The EC3 increments
in 0.1g intervals, so the lightest part you count should be no lighter than
0.3g. A $1 bill weighs about 1 gram so if you cut the dollar in 3 equal
pieces your lightest part should be heavier than this. Ideally suited
for a host of counting applications, including annual inventories, stock rooms,
print shops and rentals, the EC Counting Scales can be used to count parts ranging
from semiconductor chips, electronic coils and screws to ticket stubs and seeds.
Choose from 4 different models in the EC counting scales series all listed at
the bottom of this web page.
The EC Series Counting Scales offer all the features demanded from industrial,
warehousing and production applications, including easy-to-use manual Average
Piece Weight entry with configuration options for either pound or gram display.
The Ohaus EC3 parts counting scale is designed with a removable stainless steel
weighing pan and durable ABS plastic housing, perfect for use in industrial
environments. Additionally, the 80-hour internal rechargeable battery
with power saving Auto-shut off feature and integrated carry handles provides
true portability.
For fast and accurate counting, users simply place a known quantity of what
they wish to count on the scale and press the dedicated Sampling Key or, for
components where unit weight is known, simply input the value on the dedicated
APW key. The counting scale will automatically display the total count
of all parts on the pan as well as calculate and display the unit weight of
the part. Users can start with a small sample size of 10, and then add
random lots of pieces (below original sampling size) to increase their APW accuracy.
The software in the machine automatically updates and enhances its average piece
weight data as components are loaded onto the pan during counting. If
the total weight or APW is too low, the EC Counting Scale will warn the user
with a warning on the LCD panel.
The EC Parts Counting Scales provide weighing, counting and accumulation application
modes, and can perform both positive and negative counting, continuously keeping
track of how many items have been added or removed from the scale. The
counting scales have dedicated keys for the most common counting operations,
including sample, tare, zero, APW entry stability, accumulations and pre-set
tare entry. Preset tare weights can be quickly entered via the keyboard,
or use the Tare key.
The memory accumulation feature keeps a running tally of each individual count
– invaluable in batch counting operations or when accumulation counting
large quantities of the same part. The Ohaus EC3 counting scales also
include 10 memory locations for storing commonly used part weights, easily accessed
using the numeric keypad.
Before you made your final decision be sure to see our best selling counting
scale series - the Sartorius CB Series. The big selling point with the
Sartorius CB Counting Scales is the "
one easy turn selects the right
reference quantity
" and the comparable model to the Ohaus EC3 would
be the Sartorius CB3CCXN Piece
Counting Scale
.
The Ohaus EC-3 is a nice basic counting scale, but the price may be too expensive for your budget. We highly recommend you take a look at the ECS 7LB Counting Scale here since this counting scale is much lower in price and offers comparable specifications. As we always say "Why pay the difference if you can't tell the difference".
