Our cable-free and pre-calibrated ACW520 floor scale was designed to give your operation the flexibility it requires. With the ability to place and weigh the same day, exactly where you need it, you can avoid any disruptive downtime. Additionally, by eliminating the construction, digging and electrical work that is typically required with a floor scale installation, you save tons.
The ability to move your equipment where you need it, and out of the way when you do not, promotes Lean manufacturing. Save space in critical locations, and purchase less total equipment with the cable-free, easily movable ACW520 floor scale.

In fast-paced industrial environments, there are plenty of reasons to want the freedom of a wireless floor scale. We narrowed it down to the top three. Download the eBook to see how you could benefit from METTLER TOLEDO quality in a fully flexible floor scale solution.
For some operations, burying equipment cables is not an option. In this case, there is a risk for operators to trip over cables, as well as accidently cut cables in production. Eliminate these hazards and reduce downtime with a wireless floor scale.
Our wireless module is built on Bluetooth 5. This means 2x speed, 4x range, 8x data , and wireless coexistence with other IoT devices. This allows for stable operation for up to 20 meters in most industrial environments.
Not all cable-free floor scales are created equal. Only METTLER TOLEDO can offer a scale that eliminates charging stations, failure prone rechargeable batteries and the associated downtime. Our battery holds its charge for an incredible 2 years of use, 50 times longer than traditional rechargeable batteries in use, saving you on energy cost and keeping your equipment up and running when it matters most.
When it comes to your weighing equipment, proactive planning for maintenance and service ensures optimum performance. METTLER TOLEDO Service delivers resources to enhance your efficiency, performance and productivity by providing service packages that fit your operational needs, maximize your equipment lifetime, and protect your weighing solution investment.
From day one installation to moving throughout your production line, the cable-free floor
scale is designed with simplicity in mind. Set the scale exactly where you need it, weigh
with pre-calibrated accuracy and benefit from 100% elimination of cable headaches.
Wireless floor scales are Ideal for the following situations:
A wireless floor scale, or cable-free floor scale, is just like a standard floor scale, but it is enabled with wireless communication built-in – effectively eliminating the need for cabling and cords.
There are many benefits of going wireless with your floor scale solution. First of all, this provides the ultimate flexibility in placement of the scale itself. Traditional floor scale projects can be limited by cabling requirements, requiring strategic planning as to where the floor scale can be placed relative to power sources etc.
Additionally, traditional floor scales can require expensive and time consuming construction work if being done new or a move is required. For many facilities, floor scale cables must be 'buried' so that the cables are not exposed on the floor. This is to eliminate tripping hazards and ensure efficiency in the production area. But the consequence is expensive, dirty and time consuming construction. Concrete must be broken up, cords set, and then new concrete set. You can see how a wireless floor scale would save time and money in this regard.
Another benefit of wireless floors scales relates to Lean manufacturing and having what is necessary to produce on the floor. For many manufacturing facilities, they require a floor scale solution for processes some of the time, and in other processes, they are not using it. This is especially relevant in scenarios that include a 'clean room' – where certain applications will require the use of the floor scale, but then they might not use it for several days after, and space is very limited. A wireless floor scale offers the opportunity to use the scale when it is needed and easily remove it when it is not in use.
