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

The KERN & SOHN BID 1T-4LM Floor Scale brings multi-function industrial weighing to the floor — combining 1500 kg capacity, RS-232 output with KERN KCP protocol, and IP65 sealing against dust and water. The KERN & SOHN BID 1T-4LM 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

• High-capacity precision: Rated to 1500 kg with 0.5 kg readability, the BID 1T-4LM handles heavyweight industrial loads while maintaining consistent accuracy.
• 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-4LM Floor Scale carries a maximum capacity of 1500 kg at 0.5 kg readability, making it versatile across receiving, production, and dispatch stages of a single site. Built on a powder-coated steel platform (59.1×59.1 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
