Description
IoT-Line bench scale FCB 8K0.1 is a control and portioning bench scale with a maximum load of 8 kg and a resolution of 0,0001 kg. Compact dimensions suit workplaces with limited space, while optional battery or rechargeable-battery operation and the light construction support mobile use at several locations. The instrument follows the uniform, convenient Kern operating philosophy, consistent across design, menu structure, key functions, interface connection and protocol. For Industry 4.0 applications the KERN Universal Port (KUP) enables exchange of data and control commands via one interface on the housing or, with a KUP Extension Box, via three interfaces in parallel. Optional interfaces include RS-232, USB, Ethernet, WLAN and Bluetooth. Enquiry and remote control from a computer or CRM/ERP system are possible using the KERN Communication Protocol. Checkweighing allows two upper and two lower tolerance limits to be entered via four arrow keys, with optical and acoustic signals assisting portioning, dosing or sorting. Weight values can be totalled, and a protective working cover is supplied as standard.

Questions about IoT-Line Bench Scale KERN FCB 8K0.1
What is this article?
IoT-Line Bench Scale KERN FCB 8K0.1 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Bench, platform & industrial scales, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A bench, platform or industrial scale takes kilograms to tonnes, with a platform instead of a small pan. Resolution is coarser. The load cell and the platform size are the specification. It is the scale for a drum or a packed goods check, not for a milligram of standard.
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.
