Hand-Held Portable Balance

The company, a leading manufacturer of quality weighing products for the laboratory, education, industrial and specialty markets worldwide, offers a new product line- the Hand-Held Series of portable scales. Convenient, compact and extremely portable, these scales also feature a sleek, futuristic design that clearly sets them apart from the field.

The organic shape of the Hand-Held nestles comfortably in the palm of the user's hand, and there are no sharp edges to catch on a pocket.

The combination of portability and precision makes the scales useful in a variety of situations. They are suitable for applications such as Quality Control, where spot checks on assembly lines are both common and essential to an operation's success.

The scales are currently available in three models, a standard 120-gram unit with basic weighing modes, and two professional models (120-gram and 320-gram) with multiple weighing modes. Standard features on all scales include an energy saving auto shut-off feature, large high contrast display, rugged plastic construction and a snap on protective cover that doubles as a scoop.

The professional HP-120 and HP-320 also feature a button activated luminescent display and a soft tactile feedback keypad. Despite their incredibly small footprint (5 in. x 3 in. x 0.8 in.), these scales feature a generous (3.3 in. x 3 in.) weighing surface to ensure that they will meet a variety of weighing needs.

The display on the scales was designed to deliver consistent reliable performance wherever the scale is used. High-contrast LCD digits on the display are 11 mm tall, and are optimally positioned to eliminate parallax errors, so there is no mistaking the results- even in poor lighting conditions.
