Counting Scales use weight to measure quantity. Counting scale are used for many different applications. For example, an arcade inside your local mall more than likely uses counting scales to determine the number of tickets a customer turns into claim a prize. Since the arcade has the ticket weight pre-programmed into the scale, all that is needed is to select that they'll be weighing tickets, then load the scale.

The scale from there, calculate the total number of tickets based upon total weight. It's that simple.

When buying a counting scale, it is good to select a scale with the proper capacity for your application. If you will be weighing items around 50 or so pounds, do not buy a scale with a 120 lb capacity as the higher the scale capacity, the more the accuracy fluctuates.
