The CBX Compact Balance is built for anyone who needs a reliable scale that doesn't have to sit next to a power outlet. Its internal rechargeable battery charges over a standard USB cable and runs for up to 216 hours per charge, so it moves freely between a lab bench, an office, and a production floor. Solid ABS housing and a removable grade 304 stainless steel pan mean it wipes clean fast, even after demanding use.
Built for hands-on, everyday use
Display and controls
The backlit LCD uses 18mm-high digits for a clear readout from any angle, and the keypad covers Mode/Units, Tare/Zero, a dedicated counting key, and power, with a low-battery indicator so you're never caught out mid-task.
Parts counting
A built-in parts-counting mode uses preset sample sizes (10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 pieces). Weigh a known sample and the CBX calculates the count for the rest, which is genuinely useful for stocktaking or bundling small parts on a production line.
Where you'll actually use it
The CBX turns up in a wider range of settings than a typical lab balance:
- Laboratories and quality control benches
- Offices and light production environments
- Manufacturing and inventory counting, using the parts-counting mode
- Fieldwork and multi-location use, since it runs on USB rechargeable power rather than mains
Choosing your capacity
The CBX comes in three capacities: 1200g at 0.1g readability, 3000g at 0.5g readability, and 6000g at 1g readability. Choose based on the heaviest single item you expect to weigh regularly, not your total sample volume.
