Kern CDS Counting Scales
Kern CDS Counting Scale Overview
The Kern CDS Counting Scale is an industrial counting scale from the Kern CDS range, designed for straightforward piece counting and weighing of heavy loads. As part of the Iot-Line counting scale family, it combines a strain gauge weighing system, LCD display and intuitive operation to support efficient stock control, production counting and industrial weighing tasks.
This counting scale is useful wherever quantities of parts, components or goods need to be counted quickly and consistently. The guided four-step process helps operators tare a container, set a reference quantity and count items directly from the display, making it suitable for busy environments where speed and clear operation matter.
Why Choose the Kern CDS Series?
The Kern CDS series is built around practical usability, with a self-explanatory graphic control panel that reduces learning time and helps avoid operating errors. Automatic reference weight optimisation improves the average piece weight value during counting, while KERN Universal Port connectivity supports external interface adapters such as RS-232, USB, Bluetooth, WiFi or Ethernet for data exchange and control commands.
Industrial Counting for Stock and Production Use
For UK industrial, commercial, production and quality control users, the Kern CDS Counting Scale offers a practical solution for routine counting processes, stock taking and digital weighing workflows. Compatibility with KERN EasyTouch software and the KERN Communication Protocol supports weighing data recording, evaluation and remote control where connected weighing processes are required.
