While the standard norm when it comes to money counting machines is to use an electronic scanning device, there are times when using a weight based money counting machine is the best choice.
How does a weight based money counting machine work?
One of the first questions that potential clients ask themselves when it comes to a weight based money counting machine, is how exactly does it work?
A very valid question, as it can be confusing the first time you set eyes upon one, as it will often not have any moving parts.
By using high-precision methods, minutely calibrated load devices use an electronic signal to measure the force on the scales, in order to calculate the weight of multiple coins or banknotes simultaneously.
The weight based money counting machine will have a list of weights in its memory for all of the different denominations and currencies that it supports, which it uses to correctly calculate the number of items, and therefore the overall weight and amount.
Is a weight based money counting machine reliable?
It is surprising just how reliable a weight based machine can be, but as it relies on complex mathematical equations and algorithms, it is highly reliable. Some of the more advanced machines are even able to take into account the dirt and excess oil that may be present on older notes, ensuring that this weight discrepancy is taken into account when the total sum is being calculated.
Are they fast?
As any of us that have opened their piggy bank and begun counting coins knows, counting money can be a long and arduous process. By using a weight based money counting machine you are able to count it several times faster than by hand, and even quicker than if you were using individual note and coin counters.
Depending on the type of machine, and how advanced the technology is, you can save yourselves hours of work by investing in one.
Advantages over other cash counting machines
One of the main advantages over using other types of cash counting machines, is that by measuring the weight you are able to calculate both coins and notes.
They can also be integrated with cash-handling software to become the all-in-one cash counter and register for your business, allowing you to add time and date information, among other details.
