Combinatorial weighing method.

摘要

A combinatorial weighing method which includes steps of dividing a target weight value, set for articles which are to be weighed out, into a plurality of target values, executing combinatorial computations with respect to each of the target values and on the basis the weight values of the articles fed into a number of weighing machines, in such a manner that weighing hoppers selected with respect to each target value do not include weighing machines selected with respect to the other target values, finding an error between the total weight value of the combination of articles selected as a result of the previous combinatorial computations, and the target value for that particular combinatorial computation, adding the error to the target value for the next combinatorial computation and then executing said computation, and subsequently, after completing the combinatorial computations with respect to all of the target values, discharging the articles from the selected weighing machines.
