Description
Counting scale KERN CIB 30K-3 is a robust digital counting instrument offering a counting resolution of 30.000 points for accurate piece counting in warehouse and laboratory logistics. Three displays present weight, reference weight and total piece count side by side, streamlining annual inventory, portioning, dosing and sorting. Optical checkweighing alters display colour by count status (too low / OK / too high), and an acoustic signal changes frequency accordingly—suited to workshops for people with disabilities, noisy or very quiet environments, and teams with rotating operators. Automatic reference optimisation steadily refines the average part weight. The keypad programs the required reference piece quantity or a known reference weight; counting sum memory accumulates matching parts in total pieces and total weight. PRE-TARE allows manual pre-deduction of a known container weight during fill-quantity control. Twenty freely assignable direct keys plus memory for 50 reference weights and PRE-Tare values accelerate repetitive work. Compact battery-powered design (net weight 3,6 kg) from manufacturer Kern supports multi-site mobility; a single key toggles counting and weighing modes. Energy management turns the backlight off after 5 seconds (can be disabled), and a protective working cover is supplied.

Questions about Counting Scale KERN CIB 30K-3
What is this article?
Counting Scale KERN CIB 30K-3 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Precision balances, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A precision balance reads more coarsely than an analytical balance, often 1 mg or 10 mg, and it takes a heavier pan load. It is the balance for preparing bulk reagents. Draft, level and a warm-up still move the last digit.
A balance compares a mass with a standard. An analytical balance reads to 0.1 mg or finer and needs a draft shield and a stable bench. A precision balance is coarser and faster. A platform scale takes a heavier load. The reading is only as good as the calibration chain back to the kilogram, which is why test weights and a certificate exist. A moisture analyser is a balance with a heater: it records the loss of mass as water leaves. The unit of mass is kept by the BIPM, compared across Europe by EURAMET, and accredited by BELAC. NIST publishes the same measurement foundations.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Balances & scales. The sub-category is Precision balances. The catalogue is Lab instruments.
