Kansas City, Missouri-based Fairbanks Scales Inc., the oldest scale company in the U.S. and the world’s leader in weighing equipment, announces the new and improved FB2560 instrument, which incorporates faster processing power, expanded USB capabilities, an updated operating system and more memory than the FB2558.
Fairbanks says transitioning to the new instrument is easy since the FB2560 maintains the same setup, calibration methods and user-friendly web interface as other models.
Processor speed has increased from 1.6 gigahertz (GHz) dual core with the FB2558 to 1.83 GHz quad core for the new FB2560. Memory has doubled to 4 gigabytes (GB). The instrument features five USB ports; once can be used for a QWERTY keyboard.
The external display now uses a Digital Video Interface-1 (DVI-I) connector. In addition, power requirements for the FB2560 are now 100-240 volts of AC power at 47-63 Hertz, helping to improve efficiency as well as provide a wider input so the instrument works in countries with different voltage and frequency systems.
