Fairbanks Scales Inc., the oldest scale company in the U.S. and the world’s leader in weighing equipment, announces six new scale instruments based on the industry-leading FB6000 design. The new instruments are ideal for a variety of weighing applications, including floor, blender, tank, truck, hopper, and rail scales. The new FB6005, FB6006 and FB6007 models are analog instruments and the FB6015, FB6016, and FB6017 instruments feature Intalogix Technology, the industry leading load cell diagnostics and digital load cell communication technology.
The new analog instruments take the analog signal from the load cells and convert it to a digital signal inside the instrument. In multiple load cell applications, all load cell adjustments are performed at the analog summing box(es) located at the scale platform. Final scale calibration is performed through the instrument. The analog versions use the same analog load cell interface card (ASC) as is used in existing FB6001, FB2558 and FB4000 instruments.
