Digital Rodcell Overview

Comptrol’s Digital Connecting Rodcell Scale & Balancing Systems are an industry standard in manufacturing and engine plants around the world for weighing and balancing automotive and diesel connecting rods. We will certify your connecting Rods and Weights, and provide top quality products to match your specifications.

The Rodcell simultaneously weighs the pin and crank end to determine the difference between the actual weight and the desired ideal weight for each end. The deviation is converted to an electrical signal directly proportional to the amount of over or under weight.
