KERN CFS 3K-5 — high-resolution counting scale with 0.01 g readability and second-scale interface
The CFS 3K-5 is a precision counting scale designed for industrial inventory, quality control and production monitoring, combining high sensitivity with system-ready connectivity.
- High-resolution counting up to 75,000 points
- 100 article memory and second-scale interface
- Stainless steel weighing plate 295×225 mm
Faster, more reliable counting for stock and pick operations
The high sensitivity and 0.01 g readability enable accurate determination of small-piece quantities, which reduces rework and inventory variances. With automatic reference optimisation the average piece weight is refined across successive measurements, improving count stability for light components. The built-in 100-article memory and programmable reference entries simplify repeat tasks and speed up inventory cycles, while the clear LCD digits (20 mm) present weight, reference weight and total piece count simultaneously for unambiguous readings.
Seamless integration into larger weighing systems
Equipped with a second-scale interface, the unit can form part of a multi-scale, high-resolution counting system together with platform scales when higher capacities are required. The strain gauge weighing system (load cell) provides consistent electrical output for external logging or process control, making the instrument suitable for automated production lines. Count resolution up to 75,000 points allows reliable extrapolation of piece counts for very small parts, and the PRE-TARE and fill-to-target functions support repeatable filling and dosing tasks.
Designed for daily industrial use and traceable results
Constructed with a stainless steel weighing plate (295×225 mm) and a robust housing, the scale tolerates typical workshop environments while remaining easy to clean. The device offers defined linearity (± 0.1 g) and reproducibility (0.03 g), delivering repeatable results that support quality control documentation. Ambient operating specifications (0 °C–40 °C, up to 80% relative humidity) ensure stable performance in standard industrial and warehouse settings.
Practical controls, signals and safety features that save time
User-programmable reference piece counts and reference weights are entered via the keypad for quick setup, and three separate displays show weight, reference weight and total pieces to speed operator decisions. Checkweighing with optical and acoustic signals supports portioning and sorting, while the fill-to-target alarm confirms when a pre-set quantity or weight has been reached. A protective work cover is included to guard the platE during storage and transport, and multiple mains adapters are supplied (CH, EURO, UK, US) for immediate commissioning.
