Abstract
The invention provides a weight selecting apparatus capable of automatically performing calibration, and provides a weight selecting apparatus capable of certainly carrying objects to be inspected with a relatively simple mechanism and performing weight measurement of the objects. The objects, after being subjected to weight measurement by a first weighing unit , are sampled by a sampler and those of the objects thus sampled are subjected to weight measurement by a second weighing unit . A calibration unit compares, for the same object, the measured result with that obtained by the first weighing unit and discriminates whether or not a difference therebetween is within a specific error range, to perform calibration of the first weighing unit . Further, as a carrier for carrying the objects to the weighing unit one by one, there is used an intermittently rotatable carrying roller having in its outer peripheral surface portion a plurality of carrying pockets
