Now this is a baby scale!

Posted on by

Designed to be used with the utmost ease, Detecto’s model 6745 can weigh even the most active baby. With step-by-step instructions right on the keypad, there’s never any question about what to do next. The 6745 features lock-in weight ability, built-in battery charger for NiCad or NiMH batteries (15 hours charging time), a locking pin for easily removing the tray for cleaning, and sleep and auto shutoff modes to extend battery life.

Detecto’s model 6745 Digital Baby Scale has a lock-in weight feature which compensates for typical newborn movement. When weight stabilizes, it is “locked in” and displayed. The infant can be removed and its weight is retained. The scale features a built-in battery charger, battery or AC power, a built-in measuring tape, and a large 1.0” high transflective LCD display. Serial output allows the scale to be connected to a printer or PC.

The Kilotech KBI-64 Bar Inventory Scale provides a fast, accurate and virtually calculation free inventory of your distilled spirits, cordials and liqueurs. The most accurate method of inventory control in any bar is to determine the total number of fluid ounces in stock.

With the KBI-64 scale you can calculate exactly what’s left in open bottles up to 64 fl. oz and use the Kilotech inventory sheet for your full and/or open bottles to arrive at an accurate “in stock” inventory. This versatile scale can also weigh parcels up to 160 oz (10 lb). The KBI-64 Bar Inventory Scale will become an essential part of your daily routine and have an important impact on your bottom line.

It’s State Fair time again!

Posted on by

You must be thinking, what does the State Fair have to do with a scale blog? Well, a lot if you stop and think about it. Remember the person who stands on practically every corner and guesses people’s weight? What’s that big item behind him? Looks like a scale to me. I’m sure there’s lots of other examples of how scales come into play before, during, and after the fair. (Especially after eating all that food!!!)

But, the real thought I had was a booth that has always been at the fair for as long as I can remember. It has a small 3’x3′ floor scale connected to a digital readout and a printer. However, the digital readout ALWAYS has a piece of cardboard taped over it so no one can see how much weight is on the scale!!!! After each person steps on the scale, the operator presses the print button and each person gets a private “printout” of their weight.

So, todays topic is printers. We have many different ones to choose from. Basically, you have three different types. A ticket printer which is used mostly on truck scales. We also have a tape printer, kind of like the credit card receipts you get at the store. Finally, we have label printers, remember the labels you see on items at the supermarket like special breads or meats that you buy by the pound.
