Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a weighing device in which dropping of articles from gripping means and reductions in weighing precision are suppressed. In a weighing device (), when at least one of an operation state of grippers () and weighing results from weighing units () fulfills any condition from among 'a weight value of articles (A) weighed by the weighing units () not being a preset target weight value,' “an operating distance in an operation in which the articles (A) are held by gripping members () being greater than a prescribed range,” and “the operating distance in the operation in which the articles (A) are held by the gripping members () being less than the prescribed range,” the articles (A) gripped by the grippers () are returned to an article group accommodation container () by a control unit () without said articles (A) being discharged to a discharge chute. As a result, a situation where the grippers () operate while still holding “articles for which the weight value is not the target weight value” is avoided.
