KERN IFB.10K-4 Industrial Scale — Heavy-duty, Calibration-approved, IP65

The IFB.10K-4 is a heavy-duty industrial scale engineered for precise production and quality-control weighing in manufacturing and workshop environments.

*Calibration-approved heavy-duty version *IP65 splash-proof protection *Stainless steel weighing plate 300×240 mm *High-contrast 52 mm LCD digits

Precision that supports production decisions

The IFB.10K-4 delivers consistent measurement quality through a strain gauge weighing system, offering a readability of 0.5 g, reproducibility of 0.0005 kg and linearity of ±0.0015 kg. These figures translate into reduced measurement uncertainty on the shop floor and fewer rejected batches during quality checks. The calibration approval embedded in the heavy-duty variant ensures traceability and compliance where official weighing results are required, making the unit suitable for regulated manufacturing, incoming goods inspection and final product checks. The technical specifications are intentionally presented to allow objective comparison with alternative balances and to support purchasing decisions based on measurable performance.

Built to withstand industrial environments

Designed with an IP65 enclosure rating and a stainless steel weighing plate, the instrument tolerates splashes and typical workshop contaminants while simplifying cleaning routines. The housing of the indicator is made from robust plastic, keeping the unit lightweight at approximately 5 kg without compromising durability. The compact weighing area (300×240 mm) fits most production workflows and the elevated platform profile (300×240×110 mm overall platform dimensions) gives stability for varied load shapes. These design choices reduce downtime related to maintenance and keep process throughput steady in busy production lines.

Clear results and productive handling

Large 52 mm digits on the LCD provide instant legibility from a distance, helping operators make faster decisions at packing stations or inspection benches. The scale supports piece counting with different minimum part weights for typical and laboratory counting modes (standard counting from 5 g, laboratory counting down to 500 mg), which improves efficiency in parts handling and inventory tasks. A full-range switch-mode power supply (100–240 V, 50/60 Hz) and included international adapters (AUS, CH, EURO, UK, US) allow immediate integration into varied facilities, while the rechargeable battery option (charge time 12 h) ensures continued operation during brief power interruptions or mobile use within the workshop.

Versatile application scope with straightforward operation

The combination of a 15 kg maximum capacity and fine resolution makes the balance well suited for component assembly, small-batch production and laboratory-adjacent tasks. The strain gauge weighing system provides reliable repeatability for routine checks, while the heavy-duty construction supports day-to-day industrial handling. Simple menu navigation on the indicator reduces training time for operators and speeds up measurement cycles, helping to maintain consistent throughput. Where specific material compatibility or advanced connectivity is needed, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors can clarify options and accessory compatibility to match the weighing solution to the production process.
