Kern CCA 10K-5M counting system 6 / 15 kg, reference balance 0.6 kg / 0.01 g

Product information "Kern CCA 10K-5M counting system 6 / 15 kg, reference balance 0.6 kg / 0.01 g"

The Kern CCA is a counting system comprising two balances and a shared indicator. A high-resolution reference balance weighs the individual part, whilst a platform balance from the Kern IFS series weighs the large quantity. The system calculates the number of items based on both of these values. Kern describes it as suitable for counting very small parts in large quantities; the display shows up to 999,999 counted items. Nine models cover quantity balances from 6 kg to 150 kg. Each model can be ordered ex works with a conformity assessment under the NAWI Directive (2014/31/EU).

Reference balance and quantity balance

The suffix in the model name indicates the reference balance. The -4M models feature the TEWJ 6000-1M-B reference balance (6 kg, readability 0.1 g) and count parts from 100 mg under laboratory conditions. The -5M models feature the TEWJ 600-2M-B (0.6 kg, readability 0.01 g) and count parts from 20 mg. The quantity balance is a model of the IFS series with two weighing ranges: CCA 6K contains the IFS 6K-3M, CCA 10K the IFS 10K-3M, CCA 30K the IFS 30K-3M, CCA 60K the IFS 60K-2M and CCA 100K the IFS 100K-2M. This increases the counting resolution from 60,000 for the CCA 6K-4M to 7,500,000 for the CCA 100K-5M.

Indicator and operation

The indicator has three displays for weight, reference weight and total count, a backlit LCD with 20 mm high digits and 28 keys. It stores 100 items with reference weight, reference quantity and container weight. The reference quantity can be set to 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100; manual reference optimisation gradually improves the average part weight. Further functions are the PRE-TARE function, Net-Total (formulation level A), totalising of counted items, percentage determination, a conversion function and weighing with tolerance range with visual and audible signal. The date and time can be printed out.

Accuracy and adjustment

According to Kern, the reference balance is based on the EWJ series and adjusts itself internally every 2 h on a timer-controlled basis. The data sheet recommends 6 kg (class M1) for adjustment using an external weight. The platform is protected to IP65; the load cell is made of aluminium and is also protected to IP65. The indicator is protected to IP23; its display has no degree of protection.

Connection and power supply

The two balances are connected via an RS-232 Y-cable (approx. 1.5 m), to which a printer can also be connected. RS-232 is fitted as standard. The plug-in mains adaptor (100 V to 240 V, 12 V, 500 mA at the device) is supplied with country adaptors. A lead-acid rechargeable battery (KFB-A01, 6 V, 1.2 Ah) is available as an option for the -4M models. It takes 12 h to charge and, according to the data sheet, lasts for 8 h with the backlight on and 18 h without. The ambient temperature may be between 0 °C and 40 °C, and the relative humidity up to 80 %.

Typical applications

  • Packaging industry: determining the quantities of small parts in boxes and bags
  • Warehouse logistics: recording inventories of small parts by weight
  • Quality assurance: checking delivery quantities and production batches against target quantities
  • Order picking and stocktaking: counting screws, springs and stamped parts in large quantities
  • Counting operations subject to verification: with conformity assessment ex works
