KERN DS 8K0.05 Precision Platform Scale — 8,000 g range, 0.05 g readability
The KERN DS 8K0.05 is a precision industrial platform scale built for laboratory accuracy in quality control and Industrie 4.0 environments, combining a robust stainless-steel weighing plate with network-capable interfaces.
- Lab-grade readability 0.05 g
- Weighing range up to 8,000 g
- Stainless-steel weighing plate
- IoT-ready with KUP and KCP interfaces
Ensure quality with measurable, repeatable accuracy
The platform delivers 0.05 g reproducibility and a linearity of ±0.15 g, providing a quantified basis for quality assurance and testing procedures. The strain-gauge weighing system translates load changes into reliable digital output, which helps to reduce measurement uncertainty in incoming inspections and batch checks. Numeric tare and an automatic reference optimisation for counting support consistent results where small weight variations matter for acceptance criteria.
Integrate weighing into digital workflows with minimal effort
Equipped with the KERN Universal Port (KUP), the unit accepts external adapters for RS-232, USB, Bluetooth, WLAN or Ethernet, enabling straightforward data transfer. The KERN Communication Protocol (KCP) permits remote querying and control from laboratory information systems or PLCs, which simplifies traceability and process logging. Programmable display units (for example g/m or g/m²) mean readings can be presented directly in the engineering unit required for production checks, saving conversion time and lowering the risk of transcription errors.
Designed for demanding industrial environments
The weighing plate is made of stainless steel and the housing measures 225 × 115 × 60 mm, while the weighing platform occupies 308 × 318 × 75 mm; the instrument’s weight of 7.5 kg balances stability with portability. Operating parameters are suited to workshop conditions (10–40 °C, up to 80% relative humidity), and the supplied work-protection hood reduces contamination and draft influences, supporting stable readings even in busier production areas.
Simple operation and enhanced counting functionality
User interaction is guided by a step-by-step yes/no dialog on the clear LCD display with 18 mm digits, enabling rapid configuration without specialist training. The scale supports numeric pre-tare for known container weights and features an automatic reference optimisation that progressively improves the average part-weight for counting applications—especially useful when shifting between batches or component sizes. An optional battery and a 10 h charge time provide flexibility for mobile or intermittent use.
