Integrated Conveyor Scales

Overview

Industrial Kinetics Integrated Conveyor Scales are designed to perform static weight verification of palletized or unitized loads directly within a conveyor line. These scale sections provide reliable weight confirmation without removing the load from the material flow, making them ideal for applications where weight compliance is required before downstream automation, storage, or shipping processes.



Integrated scales are engineered as conveyor-mounted weighing devices utilizing load cell summing technology with direct network communication to plant control systems. The design emphasizes accuracy, mechanical stability, and seamless system integration rather than operator-facing indication.

Why Choose Us

Industrial Kinetics Integrated Conveyor Scales are engineered as part of the conveyor system rather than added as standalone instruments. This approach ensures proper load transfer, stable measurement conditions, and consistent accuracy over the life of the equipment. By focusing on summing device integration and network communication, Industrial Kinetics delivers weighing solutions that align with modern automated material handling systems.



Each scale section is engineered to the specific conveyor type, load characteristics, and control architecture of the application, reducing commissioning time and long-term maintenance requirements.

Material Delivery and Dunnage Removal Conveyor system for Parallel Assembly Line, Overhead Material Delivery System

August 29, 2025
A vehicle manufacturer was looking for a new method to deliver materials for the assembly of vehicles to four parallel assembly lines. IK developed, engineered, and implemented an overhead pallet conveyor system that provided great benefits to the vehicle manufacturer.

System Integration

Integrated Conveyor Scales are designed to install directly into existing or new conveyor lines with minimal disruption to material flow. The summing device communicates weight data and status signals to the main control system via industrial Ethernet, enabling coordinated logic for accumulation release, routing, or exception handling. These scales are frequently paired with pallet profile check systems, transfer cars, or automated storage systems.

What industries typically use these systems:

01

Automated distribution and fulfillment centers

02

AS/RS infeed and outfeed conveyor lines

03

Manufacturing pallet handling systems

04

Manufacturing pallet handling systems

05

Quality control and process validation stations

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is the scale designed for in-motion weighing?

    No. Integrated Conveyor Scales are intended for static weighing once the load is fully supported and motion is stopped.

  • Why use a summing device instead of a local readout?

    A summing device allows weight data to be transmitted directly to the control system, eliminating the need for local operator interaction and simplifying system integration.

  • How accurate are integrated conveyor scales?

    Accuracy depends on load cell selection, mechanical design, and installation conditions. Systems are engineered to provide reliable, repeatable results suitable for pallet verification.

  • Can the scale be added to an existing conveyor?

    In many cases, yes. Retrofit installations are evaluated to ensure proper isolation and structural support.

  • Are different environmental ratings available?

    Yes. Load cell and summing device configurations are available for standard industrial, washdown, and corrosive environments.
