    The 9477 scale conveyor is an in-motion scale for weighing large boxes, cartons, cases, bags, sacks and other packages. Its robust frame withstands the impact of heavy items, making it an ideal solution for tough environments and industrial processing conditions. When paired with METTLER TOLEDO’s IND570dyn terminal, the combined IND9D57 becomes quite powerful for high-speed weighing operations.

     

    Two software packages are offered for the IND570dyn controller: EXPRESSWEIGH, used for weighing random items as in parcel processing, and EXPRESSCHECK, which allows rapid over/under check-weighing in applications such as chemical and food and beverage processing. Both packages provide U.S.-approved legal-for-trade performance and can also be used in higher-speed applications of up to 500 ft. /minute for non-approved applications.

     

    The IND570dyn builds upon the success of METTLER TOLEDO’s IND570 and provides a reliable and flexible interface that can be integrated with a variety of front-end options. Barcode, RFID readers and dimensioning equipment can be added to create complete data sets for weighed items for greater processing speed and ease.

     

    The integrated solution offers high-throughput unattended operation, an ability to handle a wide range of item shapes and sizes and connectivity to higher-level warehouse management software for reliable reporting. Reject device control, stored targets and easy operator controls round out the package when configured for check-weighing.

    Features:

    • High-speed A/D plus TraxDSP filtering
    • Flexible interface to peripheral data sources allows user to integrate bar code and dimensional data with package weight into the transaction record.
    • Multiple connectivity options allow communication of transaction data to a wide variety of Ethernet-enabled devices
    • Optional LED status lights and rugged pushbuttons
    • Bright, multi-line VFD display ensures easily readable scale data and status information, error messages, last package average weight, and setup menu
    • Error logging is configurable, to provide flexible handling of scale alarms and errors
    • Weights and Measures approvals permit use in legal-for-trade applications
