Industrial scales: versatile solutions for precise production processes Learn how to use industrial scales efficiently for control, dosing and order picking, among other things.

A large number of Minebea Intec's industrial scales have a built-in calibration weight circuit. This allows the accuracy of the scale to be checked at the touch of a button without an additional test weight.

The sensitivity of the scale is also adjusted simply by pressing a button. To ensure traceable weighing results and compliance with legal requirements, we also offer calibration and conformity assessment (formerly verification) of scales as part of our services. Our competence in this field is evidenced by the following certifications and accreditations:

• Certificate on the recognition of a quality management system according to 2014 / 31 / EU for non-automatic weighing instruments
• DAkkS accreditation for the calibration of non-automatic weighing instruments according to DIN EN / ISO / IEC 17025
• DAkkS accreditation for calibration of weights from 1 mg - 1000 kg according to DIN EN / ISO / IEC 17025
• Certified QM system according to DIN ISO 9001

For the safe operation of equipment in hazardous areas, local safety requirements and the safety level of the equipment must be compatible. As a reliable partner to industry, Minebea Intec has international approvals such as IECEx, ATEX, NEC, CEC and NEPSI and an extensive range of industrial bench and floor scales for hazardous areas.
