Why is the skyLine scale more reliable than systems with counterweights?

The skyLine Hand Module uses a high precision digital scale that measures the exact pulling force in real time. This method is far more reliable and repeatable than traditional systems that rely on fixed counterweights hanging from the risers.

Key Advantages of the Built-In Scale:

  • Consistent pull force: The system automatically triggers a pre-measure at 3kg and a fixed measurement at 5kg, ensuring identical conditions every time.
  • No guesswork: Counterweights can swing, shift, or be affected by setup variations, while the digital scale shows exact force in grams.
  • More stable setup: No need for large weights hanging from risers, reducing the risk of measurement errors caused by movement or imbalance.
  • Compact & portable: A built-in scale removes the need for extra equipment like bulky weights, making the skyLine system easy to transport and use anywhere.
  • Higher accuracy: Precise load detection ensures line lengths are always measured under the same, controlled tension — something counterweights can’t guarantee in all environments.

By removing the variables of counterweight systems and replacing them with a digital, force-controlled approach, the skyLine Hand Module delivers repeatable, accurate, and stress-free measurements every time.

Tip: The scale also gives live feedback as you pull, helping you apply a smooth and even force for optimal measuring results.
