Ohaus

Ohaus has been manufacturing weighing instruments since 1907, building a product catalog that spans portable bench scales, precision laboratory balances, moisture analyzers, and counting scales across a wide range of capacities and accuracy classes. Ohaus equipment is widely used in industrial production, quality control laboratories, educational environments, and field applications where a reliable, well-supported instrument at a practical price point is the right choice. Cech sells and calibrates Ohaus scales across Michigan, matching the right Ohaus product to each application and providing the ongoing service support that keeps them performing accurately.

Bench Scales and Compact Scales

Ohaus's Defender and Ranger series bench scales are among the most commonly deployed general-purpose bench scales in Michigan industrial and commercial environments. The Defender line covers capacities from 6 lbs to 1,000 lbs with stainless steel and painted steel platform options, IP ratings appropriate for wash-down and dusty environments, and RS-232 and USB communication ports for data output. The Ranger series offers a broad capacity range in compact, portable form factors suited to quality control stations, receiving areas, and production floor sampling points. Cech stocks and services both lines and calibrates them to manufacturer specifications with NIST-traceable reference weights.

Precision Balances and Laboratory Instruments

Ohaus's Pioneer and Adventurer series analytical and precision balances occupy the quality control laboratory and general analytical segment, offering readabilities from 0.001 g to 0.01 g at capacities appropriate for most QC and formulation tasks. Their internal calibration feature—automatic calibration triggered by temperature change or on demand—reduces the frequency of manual calibration intervention and helps maintain accuracy between scheduled service visits. Cech calibrates Ohaus laboratory balances with as-found and as-left documentation, and can incorporate them into Michigan customers' calibration management programs alongside higher-precision instruments from other manufacturers.

Moisture Analyzers

Ohaus's MB series moisture analyzers use halogen heating and continuous weighing to determine moisture content in food, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and chemical samples by loss on drying. They provide a fast, practical alternative to oven drying methods for at-line quality control, with direct percentage moisture readout and data output for QC record systems. Cech calibrates Ohaus moisture analyzers for both the temperature calibration of the heating element and the mass calibration of the weighing system, providing complete instrument qualification for regulated and quality-managed applications.

Counting Scales and Industrial Applications

Ohaus's Catapult and Valor series counting scales serve parts counting, inventory management, and portion control applications in manufacturing, food service, and distribution environments. Their piece weight library and accumulation functions support repetitive counting workflows without requiring manual calculation. For Michigan manufacturers counting fasteners, components, or packaged goods, Ohaus counting scales offer a straightforward, serviceable solution that Cech can calibrate and support as part of a broader instrument fleet.
