Tara Systems TR-1 Digital Industrial Scale Indicator 20kg 8x8 Platform 115V

Tara Systems TR-1 Digital Industrial Scale Indicator 20kg 8x8 Platform 115V

The Tara Systems TR-1 is a benchtop digital industrial scale system made in the USA, combining a wall-mount or bench-mount indicator with a stainless steel load platform. The TR-1 indicator uses a full pushbutton keypad and a bright red LED display, and supports lb-to-kg conversion, time/date stamping, and both printer and computer data output — making it well-suited for production, laboratory, or receiving applications that require a printed or logged weight record.

Applications

The TR-1 is a compact industrial counting and weighing scale system used in production floors, receiving docks, laboratories, and quality control stations where a permanent or semi-permanent bench scale with data output is needed. The lb/kg conversion and GROSS/NET tare function make it practical for both domestic and metric-standard workflows. The printer and computer output ports allow weight data to be logged directly or printed on a receipt/label printer, which is common in food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical, and light manufacturing environments where batch records or shipping weights must be documented. NTEP certification (COC 91-077) means this scale meets the requirements for legal-for-trade use in commercial applications in the United States. The TR-1 dates from the early-to-mid 1990s era of dedicated digital bench scale indicators, before USB and networked scale interfaces became standard — it uses hardwired serial connections but remains fully functional for any application that does not require USB or Ethernet connectivity.
