Dini Argeo Weicomp Bench Scale

Description

Introduction

The Dini Argeo Weicomp Bench Scale is a robust industrial bench weighing solution designed for routine production, handling, and control tasks where reliability and flexibility is paramount. Available with either the Lite or Pro indicator, the Weicomp range allows users to choose the level of functionality and interface best suited to their operation.

Product Overview

Built around a painted steel structure with a stainless steel weighing platform, the Weicomp bench scale range is designed for everyday industrial environments such as manufacturing, goods-in, packing, and internal quality control. These models are intended for internal weighing applications and are not trade approved or waterproof, making them a cost-effective choice where compliance is not required.

The platform design remains consistent across the range, while the choice of indicator allows users to scale functionality from straightforward weighing through to more advanced control, counting, and data handling tasks.

Indicator Options Explained

The Weicomp bench scale range is available with two indicator options. Both share the same platform construction, but differ significantly in functionality, durability, and connectivity. This allows users to select a configuration comparable to common general-purpose industrial bench scales, or to step up to a more advanced control solution where required.

Lite vs Pro Indicator Comparison

This comparison helps buyers quickly identify whether the Lite version meets their everyday weighing needs, or whether the Pro indicator is better suited to more demanding industrial workflows.

Pro Indicator Version

The Pro version upgrades the Weicomp bench scale with a stainless steel, multifunction indicator intended for more demanding industrial workflows.

Key characteristics include:

• Stainless steel indicator housing for increased durability
• 25 mm LCD display with interactive RGB backlighting for improved visibility
• Extended weighing functions including piece counting, percentage weighing, manual dosing, and check control
• Integrated rechargeable battery with approximately 80 hours of autonomy
• Multiple communication options including RS232, RS485, USB-C, with optional WiFi or Ethernet

This version is suited to users who require faster response times, greater configurability, or integration with external systems.

Platform Construction and Design

Across both versions, the Weicomp bench scale platform features:

• Painted steel base structure for strength and stability
• AISI 304 stainless steel top plate with satin finish
• Single aluminium load cell with overload protection
• Adjustable feet and integrated level bubble for accurate installation

Protection rating varies by version, with the Lite platform using an IP65 load cell and the Pro platform using an IP67 load cell.

Note: this product has varying Pillar length based on selection. If you require a different length let us know and we can support.

Applications

Typical internal-use applications include:

• Production and assembly weighing
• Goods-in and dispatch checks
• Portion control and batching
• Internal quality control
• Animal weighing in non-washdown environments

Model Sizes and Capacities

The Weicomp bench scale range covers capacities from 6 kg up to 300 kg, with platform sizes ranging from compact 300 x 300 mm designs through to 600 x 600 mm versions. This allows the range to support both small component weighing and heavier industrial loads.

Specific readability and capacity combinations vary by model and indicator type and should always be selected based on the datasheet.

Options and Accessories

Available options include:

• Stainless steel indicator column in multiple heights
• Roller units for handling applications
• Calibration certificates
• Communication interfaces and memory options depending on indicator version
• Trade Approval
• Stainless steel IP Rated

Lite or Pro. Which Should You Choose?

Choosing between the Lite and Pro versions comes down to how the scale will be used day to day.

Choose the Lite indicator if:

• You need a straightforward, reliable bench scale for everyday industrial weighing
• Your application is similar to a standard equivalent general-purpose bench scale-style workstation
• You require simple weighing, totalisation, formulation, or occasional animal weighing
• Connectivity needs are limited to basic printer or PC output
• You want a cost-effective solution for multiple workstations

Choose the Pro indicator if:

• You need faster response times and more advanced control functions
• Your workflow includes check control, piece counting, percentage weighing, or dosing
• The scale needs to interface with PLCs, PCs, or factory systems
• Extended battery life and a more durable stainless steel indicator are important
• You expect the scale to grow with more complex processes over time

This guidance helps align the indicator choice with real operational needs, rather than paying for features that may not be used.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to other equivalent bench scales?

The Weicomp Bench Scale is positioned as a practical, general-purpose industrial bench scale for internal use. It focuses on durability, clear operation, and flexible indicator options rather than specialist compliance features. This makes it well suited to businesses that want reliable daily weighing without unnecessary complexity.

Is this bench scale suitable for my environment?

These models are intended for dry or lightly contaminated industrial environments. They are not suitable for washdown areas or applications requiring trade approval.

Is the Weicomp bench scale trade approved?

No. This version of the Weicomp bench scale is not trade approved and should not be used where legal-for-trade compliance is required.

Can I connect the scale to a printer or PC?

Yes. The Lite indicator includes RS232 connectivity for basic printer or PC communication. The Pro indicator offers broader connectivity options, including RS232, RS485, USB-C, with optional Ethernet or WiFi.

What capacities and platform sizes are available?

The Weicomp bench scale range covers capacities from 6 kg up to 300 kg, with multiple platform sizes available. The exact readability and capacity depend on the selected model and indicator.

Summary and Buying Guidance

The Dini Argeo Weicomp Bench Scale is a robust, flexible solution for everyday industrial weighing where trade approval and washdown protection are not required. It is positioned for the same type of routine production, warehouse, and assembly tasks typically served by equivalent general-purpose bench scales.

With a choice of Lite or Pro indicators, the range can be configured for straightforward bench weighing or more advanced industrial control applications. This makes it a practical option for businesses looking to standardise equipment across workstations while retaining the flexibility to support more demanding processes where needed.

If you are replacing existing internal-use bench scales or specifying new equipment for industrial workstations, the Weicomp range offers a dependable and adaptable solution backed by Dini Argeo’s long-standing industrial weighing expertise.
