KERN & SOHN IOC 6K-3M IOC Platform Scale, 6 kg Capacity, 0.002 kg Readability, IP65 Rated, USB / WiFi

KERN & SOHN IOC 6K-3M Platform Scale — IP65-Rated, 6 kg Capacity

Weighing in wet or dusty environments demands more than a standard platform scale. The KERN & SOHN IOC 6K-3M IOC Platform Scale carries IP65 protection across the full assembly — indicator, 11.8×11.8 in platform, and load cell — at 3 kg; 6 kg capacity and 0.001 kg readability.

Key Features

• Full IP65 ingress protection: The complete IOC assembly — indicator, 11.8×11.8 in platform, and load cell — is rated IP65, blocking dust and withstanding directed water jets for hose-down cleaning.
• Dual-range weighing (3 kg; 6 kg): Switchable ranges deliver 0.001 kg readability for precise work or 0.002 kg for heavier loads, maximising accuracy without changing instruments.
• RS-232 with optional USB / WiFi: Built-in RS-232 via the KERN Communication Protocol; factory options add USB, WiFi, and alibi memory for paperless records.
• Tolerance checkweighing: Upper and lower weight limits trigger audible and visual alerts so out-of-spec batches are caught immediately at the station.
• Sum / accumulation memory: Sum-A memory accumulates successive weighments into running totals for batching, goods-receiving, and production counting.
• Piece counting function: Reference quantities of 10, 20, 50, 100, or 200 pieces let the IOC double as a counting scale for loose parts and bulk goods.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN IOC 6K-3M IOC Platform Scale carries IP65 protection across the 11.8×11.8 in mild-steel platform, coated load cell, and indicator housing, so the entire assembly can be hosed down without risk to electronics. Dual-range capacity (3 kg; 6 kg) at 0.001 kg fine-range readability lets one instrument handle both precise component weighing and heavier batch work; the strain-gauge cell resolves to 1:3.000 internally. RS-232 output via the KERN Communication Protocol connects to printers, PLCs, and data systems without custom drivers. OIML Class III and EC type approval extend its use to legal-for-trade applications. An optional 6 V / 1.3 Ah rechargeable battery delivers up to 26 h of cordless run time. Factory-optional USB host, WiFi, and alibi memory modules add paperless data capture and remote monitoring without external hardware.

Applications

• Food production — portioning, batch weighing, and CCP checkweighing in wet areas
• Chemical manufacturing — raw-material dispensing and formulation batching
• Pharmaceutical and cosmetics — washdown-compliant weighing in clean rooms and process areas
• Logistics and distribution — goods-in verification and piece-count receiving
• Industrial manufacturing — component counting and sub-assembly weighing on production lines
