Fairbanks Scales provides historical data on discontinued scales, answers to frequently asked questions and troubleshooting advice for common problems. Fairbanks Scales manufactures weighing devices for any need, from forklift loads to heavy capacity trucks to. Fairbanks FB2550 Driver Assist Terminal The FB2550 Driver Assist Terminal is designed to speed the vehicle weighing process and reduce associated operating costs. By allowing drivers to remain inside their vehicles, the FB2550 DAT also eliminates safety concerns and liabilities that can occur when drivers walk across scale platforms and traffic. Fairbanks Scales Inc., Kansas City, Missouri, has announced updates to its FB2550 Advanced Scale Instrument software that it says will allow greater flexibility in weighing options for users of the scale system. Fairbanks says the updates allow for easy use of the FB2550 with both full-length and short platform truck scales.

Fairbanks Scales SCB-R9000-14U - Ultegra Bench Scale, USB Powered Simple Type: Scale The Ultegra Bench Scale is a USB powered unit with a capacity of 150 lbs and is constructed of ABS composite material. The scale may be placed on a desk, bench, or used with an 'Insert' adapter to countersink into a counter-top. This unit can be powered from any PC that is compliant with version USB 1.1 or later. This includes exter nal hubs, either bus powered or self powered. The scale is identified by a PC as a human interface device (HID) and operates with Windows 2000, Windows XP or later. It also can be powered from a 5VDC AC adapter. A USB port is not required when powered from an AC adapter.

Kansas City, Missouri, has announced updates to its FB2550 Advanced Scale Instrument software that it says will allow greater flexibility in weighing options for users of the scale system. Fairbanks says the updates allow for easy use of the FB2550 with both full-length and short platform truck scales.

The Axlematic Applications software updates allow for axle-by-axle weighing of vehicles on both full length platform and short platform scales. On full length scales, weights for each axle are recorded, as well as a legal for trade total weight.

There are three operating modes: basic axle weighing mode, in which vehicles enter the scale axle-by-axle and then drive off after weighing; axle in/axle out mode, in which vehicles both enter and exit the scale axle-by-axle; and inbound/axle out mode, in which vehicles drive onto the scale and then exit axle-by-axle. Options in all three modes include either manual operation or automatic operation. On short platform scales, axle-by-axle and total vehicle weights are calculated, though neither weight is legal for trade.

Short platform applications require only one axle or axle group to be on the scale at any given time. There are two operating modes: basic axle weighing mode and axle in/axle out mode. Both modes allow for manual and automatic axle weight capture. The FB2550 Driver Assist Terminal features a full-color touch screen, large text and numeric keys as well as simple-to-understand prompts to facilitate and speed operation, allowing for an increase in scale throughput and overall efficiency. More information on the software update is available at.
