Is the weight reading fluctuating?
The supporting surface may also be a cause. A dedicated anti-vibration design helps limit mechanical influences on the balance.
PRECIZ · Two standard versions
Weighing tables – fixed or with adjustable support.
Two standard versions are available: the fixed PTM weighing table and the ergonomic PTML table with an adjustable front support. Both have an AISI304 stainless steel frame and a separate granite slab for the balance. Alongside the standard versions, we also manufacture custom-made tables.

Why a dedicated table?
Even the best balance needs suitable conditions.
Footsteps, pumps, ventilation and nearby machinery can generate vibrations that reach the balance through the floor and furniture. This may cause fluctuating readings, longer waits for a stable value and reduced measurement repeatability.
An anti-vibration weighing table helps reduce the transmission of these disturbances to the weighing surface. This is particularly important when weighing small samples and using sensitive laboratory balances.
Waiting for a stable reading?
If vibration causes the delay, a suitable supporting surface can help the reading stabilise sooner.
Running out of space on the table?
We adapt the worktop dimensions to provide space for samples and accessories alongside the balance.

Types of balances and instruments
Which balances do we design weighing tables for?
From analytical balances to dedicated weighing systems, we select the table according to the sensitivity, dimensions, loads and operating conditions of the instrument.
For precise weighing of small quantities
Analytical balances are used for laboratory sample preparation, formulation and quality control. These procedures require reliable mass determination for relatively small quantities.
The role of the weighing table: a stable base helps reduce the influence of vibrations transmitted through the floor to the balance. We size the slab and worktop to suit the instrument and the required working space.
For a wide range of laboratory weighing tasks
Precision balances cover a broad range of weighing tasks. Depending on the model, they can also handle larger loads and are used in routine laboratory work and quality control.
The role of the weighing table: it provides a dedicated work surface and helps limit mechanical disturbances. We determine the table and slab dimensions according to the balance, samples and loads.
For measuring very small differences in mass
Microbalances are used where very small changes in mass must be detected reliably. Instrument location, a stable base, still air and temperature conditions are therefore particularly important.
The role of the weighing table: it helps establish a stable weighing area. The design for a particular microbalance must be matched to the manufacturer's requirements and the conditions in the room.
For determining the moisture content of samples
Moisture analysers determine moisture content using an appropriate measurement procedure. A stable base and a well-planned equipment layout support everyday sample preparation and measurement.
The role of the weighing table: dedicated space for the instrument and sample handling. We consider the analyser dimensions, its operating conditions and the required work surface.
For dedicated measuring stations
When using a weighing module, its installation must be planned together with the associated equipment. Dimensions, mounting arrangements and the requirements of the complete measurement procedure are important.
The role of the weighing table: a stable base sized for the intended layout. We check suitability for the specific module and its associated equipment.
For comparing masses and working with weights
Mass comparators are intended for highly precise mass comparisons. In addition to a stable environment, controlled placement and safe handling of weights are important.
The role of the weighing table: suitable support for the instrument and weights. Loads, installation height and handling must be checked individually; the table shown is not automatically suitable for every comparator.
For weighing near sources of mechanical disturbance
Industrial scales and weighing platforms may operate in rooms where nearby machinery or floors transmit vibration to the measuring station. Suitable support depends on the instrument and the nature of these disturbances.
The role of the weighing table: a dedicated support station where a table-mounted installation is suitable for the chosen scale. Before manufacture, we check the dimensions, loads and installation conditions.
For automatic feeders alongside the balance
An automatic feeder is an accessory that must be positioned correctly relative to its balance. The relationship between the instrument, feeder and other equipment is important in this arrangement.
The role of the weighing table: support for a carefully planned equipment layout. We check dimensions, mounting and compatibility for the specific combination of devices.
We confirm suitability for your model.
These are instrument types for which a dedicated weighing base may be appropriate. To help us propose a suitable design, send the instrument manufacturer and model, its dimensions and the expected loads. We customise the worktop and slab dimensions and manufacture the frame from AISI304 stainless steel.

Who are they for?
For work where every measurement matters.
The need for a weighing table depends on the sensitivity of the balance, the procedure and the conditions in the room.
Pharmaceutical and chemical laboratories
For sample preparation, formulation and weighing small quantities with analytical balances or microbalances.
Quality control
For routine measurements where a repeatable workflow and a stable weighing station are important.
Research and development
For experiments and measurements of small mass differences where mechanical disturbances may make results harder to evaluate.
Calibration and metrology laboratories
For mass comparisons and working with weights, where environmental stability and safe handling require particular attention.
Food and materials laboratories
For sample preparation and the use of precision balances or moisture analysers where conditions call for a dedicated stable base.
Industrial measuring stations
For selected scales and platforms in environments with mechanical disturbances. The design must suit the loads and the source of vibration.
How does it work?
A separate weighing surface. Less transmitted disturbance.
In a typical anti-vibration design, a solid weighing base is separated from the supporting structure by damping elements. This helps reduce the transmission of certain vibrations to the balance.
When designing the table, we consider the balance dimensions and the space required for everyday work. We size the balance slab and surrounding worktop according to your requirements.
- Solid weighing base
A balance slab sized to suit the instrument. - Damping elements
Reduce the transmission of selected mechanical disturbances. - Stable, levelled structure
Adjustable feet on suitable versions allow adaptation to the supporting floor. - Suitable location
Choosing the location is just as important as choosing the table.
Custom manufacture
Need different dimensions or a different work surface?
Alongside the two standard versions, we also manufacture custom-made weighing tables. We adapt the table and slab dimensions as well as the work surface material and colour. For demanding environments, we also offer a stainless steel (INOX) work surface.
AISI304 stainless steel
We manufacture the frame from AISI304 stainless steel. The tables are suitable for use across industries, from pharmaceuticals and laboratories to food processing. We adapt the design to the conditions and working methods.

Making the right choice
Standard version or custom-made table?
Choose the fixed PTM version for a permanent weighing station or the ergonomic PTML version with an adjustable front support. If the standard dimensions or work surface do not suit your procedure, we can manufacture a custom-made table.
We can adapt the work surface too.
When selecting the material and colour, we consider your working methods, cleaning and possible contact with chemicals. A stainless steel work surface is also available for demanding environments. We agree on the final design according to your requirements.

- Which balance do you use? Consider the model, sensitivity, dimensions and mass of the instrument and accessories.
- What causes the disturbances? Check nearby machinery, pumps, ventilation and traffic routes.
- What are the operating conditions? Cleaning methods, contact with chemicals and expected loads are important.
- How much space do you need? Allow for balance access, sample preparation, a computer and storage.
- How will installation be carried out? Check the space, floor, levelling and balance manufacturer's requirements. We use this information to agree on the final table and slab dimensions.
The complete measurement environment
A good base is the start of reliable weighing.
An anti-vibration table reduces the influence of certain mechanical disturbances. Stable measurements also require suitable surrounding conditions: prevent draughts, limit temperature fluctuations, control electrostatic charges and correctly level and use the balance.
Choosing a table therefore means considering more than the table itself. Its location and your everyday weighing procedure matter too.
Frequently asked questions
What should you know before choosing?
Does every laboratory balance need a weighing table?
Not necessarily. It depends on the balance, the procedure requirements and disturbances in the room. It is particularly useful for sensitive analytical balances and microbalances, or where vibration affects reading stability.
Can a heavy workbench replace an anti-vibration table?
Mass alone does not guarantee an anti-vibration effect. The design, separation of the weighing surface, damping elements and installation conditions also matter.
Does the table improve balance accuracy?
The table does not change the technical specifications of the balance. It can reduce the influence of vibration and help provide more suitable weighing conditions. It does not replace correct use, calibration or an appropriate measurement environment.
Can you customise the table and slab dimensions?
Yes. Alongside the standard PTM and PTML models, we also manufacture custom-made tables. We adapt table and slab dimensions and the work surface material and colour. Send your balance model, available space and requirements.
What material is used for the frame?
Our weighing tables have a frame made from AISI304 stainless steel.
Can the work surface also be made from stainless steel?
Yes. Alongside a choice of work surface material and colour, we offer a stainless steel (INOX) work surface for demanding environments. We adapt its dimensions and design to your operating conditions.
Do you offer a version with a height-adjustable arm support?
Yes. The standard ergonomic PTML1250800750 version has a padded front support and a digital controller for electrical adjustment of its height. Workstation dimensions are 1250 × 800 × 750 mm, and the granite slab measures 500 × 450 mm. Custom adaptations are also available.
What information do you need to recommend a suitable table?
Your balance model, a description of the procedure, the available space and information on potential disturbances. A workstation photograph, cleaning requirements and a list of accessories are also useful.
