Dimensional Weighing Scales in the Central Carolina Scale Electronic Catalog

CubeLogic™ Dimensioning Systems from Rice Lake are helping busy logistics operations get more boxes onto every pallet, more freight into every truck, and more value out of every shipping dollar. By enabling you to quickly and accurately gather dimensional and weight data, dimensioning systems help utilize space with the utmost efficiency, generate additional revenue by calculating valuable dimensional weight charges, and save measurable amounts of time, effort and money

In one efficient step, CubeLogic quickly and quietly measures the weight and dimensional data of any cubic package. And beyond simply displaying the information, CubeLogic can also be used with a printer and/or PC for quick calculations and data storage.

Rice Lake offers three separate CubeLogic models to meet a broad range of capacity needs. Choose the CubeLogic 250 or CubeLogic 265, perfect for bench tops or shipping desks and collapsible for easy storage. The CubeLogic 480 is built to install with almost any conveyor system for more efficient stationary measurement.

Determining the dimensional weight of an item is a straightforward process, yet this time-consuming task can result in big and expensive problems when errors occur. Most major shipping companies designate their charges for shipping packages based on what is called the dim weight or dimensional weight (DW) of the object being shipped. The standard formula for determining the dimensional weight of an item is (DW = length (L) x width (W) x height (H) divided by a dimensional weight conversion factor, usually 194 for domestic shipping. International service is calculated by dividing by 166. Utilized by most shipping carriers for billing, these calculations are used to consider the amount of space a package will take up in relation to the weight of the package. When these calculations are inaccurate due to poor dimensional measuring techniques, the result affects everyone involved. They can become a big problem by changing the way businesses handle both shipping and storage.

A ruler or tape measure was the traditional method to measure boxes. In an assembly production line or a conveyor environment, where objects on the conveyor are moving at a high rate of speed, this quickly becomes impractical. There was no way to measure these cubed shaped objects accurately and quickly. Presently, the responsibility to calculate the dim weight of the package has shifted to the shipper or carrier and in some cases even to the manufacturer. Lacking a dimensioning system the problem remained the same – getting millions of boxes measured properly so that they could be stored, located and delivered on time to the customer without under or over charging them.....
