Are you trying to decide between the Arlyn SAW-PX Industrial Balance and the OHAUS Explorer Analytical? If so, you’re in luck. We will compare and contrast these two scales and how they work with AxChange software. Between the Ohaus Explorer Analytical and the Arlyn Saw-PX Industrial Scale, we believe that the Arlyn Saw-PX is the better option.
Both scales offer internal calibration capabilities, but some significant differences could make one scale better for your needs. We’ll look at features like capacity range, accuracy, resolution, connectivity options, and more to help you determine which of these two balances is right for you.
A Rugged Precision Balance for Industrial Environments
When comparing the OHAUS Explorer to the Arlyn SAW-PX precision balance, the Arlyn SAW-PX is purpose-built for use in both industrial and laboratory environments, with 20 times the capacity of comparable models.
Wide Temperature Range
This ultra-compact scale endures temperatures as low as 10° and as high as 120° Fahrenheit! The expansive pan size and high capacity platform serve larger loads, while a readability of 0.02 makes it equally ideal for minute materials.
Accuracy With Percent Weighing
When it comes to accuracy, Arlyn’s SAW-PX Industrial Scale has a resolution of 1:15,000, which is one of the highest resolutions available for an industrial scale. This allows for accurate readings down to 0.001g or 0.002oz. On the other hand, the OHAUS Explorer Analytical Balance has a resolution of 1:3,000 and is accurate to 0.1g/0.1oz. Arlyn’s SAW-PX Industrial Scale is the clear winner, offering a much higher solution than its OHAUS counterpart.
Capacity Range
The Arlyn SAW-PX Industrial Scale has a capacity range from 0 g to 8 kg/17 lbs, while the OHAUS Explorer Analytical Balance ranges from 0 g to 3 kg/6.6 lbs. Arlyn’s SAW-PX Industrial Scale is the clear winner, as it offers a much higher capacity range than its OHAUS counterpart.
Communication Options
Finally, the SAW-PX offers you more communication options. While the Explorer offers wired solutions with an opportunity to upgrade to Ethernet, the SAW-PX provides wireless communication over Wi-Fi and Modbus in addition to the wired solutions. The Arlyn SAW-PX Industrial Scale has an RS232 connection, making it easy to connect and transfer data.
