KERN & SOHN BID 1T-4DS BID Floor Scale, 1500 kg Capacity, 0.2 kg Readability, IP65 Rated, USB / WiFi

KERN & SOHN BID 1T-4DS Floor Scale — 1500 kg Capacity, RS-232, IP65 Industrial Floor Scale

Piece counting, checkweighing, and RS-232 output converge in the KERN & SOHN BID 1T-4DS Floor Scale — a IP65-rated floor scale rated to 1500 kg capacity for demanding industrial workflows. The KERN & SOHN BID 1T-4DS Floor Scale is the choice for manufacturers, freight operators, and food processors who need integrated data connectivity alongside wash-safe, heavy-duty weighing.

Key Features

• Dual weighing range: Two selectable ranges (600 kg / 1500 kg) with respective readabilities of 0.1 kg / 0.2 kg, covering coarse and precise tasks without changing equipment.
• RS-232 with KERN Communication Protocol (KCP): The built-in serial port transmits weight data to printers, PLCs, or PC software using KERN's standardised KCP command set, simplifying integration into existing MES or ERP workflows.
• Checkweighing with tolerance range: Programmable upper and lower limits let operators flag out-of-spec loads instantly, reducing rework and shrinkage on production and packing lines.
• Piece counting function: Reference-weight-based piece counting turns the BID into an accurate parts counter for fasteners, hardware, or small assemblies — no separate counting scale needed.
• Sum and percentage functions: Cumulative totalling and percentage-of-target readouts support batch formulation and recipe weighing directly on the factory floor.
• IP65 display protection (IP67 load cells): The indicator housing is sealed to IP65 and the load cells to IP67, allowing hose-down cleaning without risk to electronics.
• Optional rechargeable battery: An optional accumulator upgrade gives the BID full portability, freeing it from fixed power points for use anywhere in the facility.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN BID 1T-4DS Floor Scale carries dual weighing ranges of 600 kg and 1500 kg, with readabilities of 0.1 kg and 0.2 kg respectively, making it versatile across receiving, production, and dispatch stages of a single site. Built on a powder-coated steel platform (39.4×39.4 in), the scale uses four strain-gauge load cells in a 4-wire connection for reliable mechanical accuracy at operating temperatures from -10 °C to 40 °C (−10 °C to 40 °C). The remote LCD display unit connects via a 5 m cable and can be wall-mounted or placed on a nearby bench, keeping readouts visible from the weighing area without crowding the platform.

Applications

• Goods-in verification and outbound shipment weighing in distribution centres
• Batch weighing and formula checks on food-processing and chemical production lines
• Parts counting for fasteners, castings, and fabricated components
• Checkweighing against fill-weight tolerances on packaging lines
• Scrap and raw-material inventory management in metal processing
