ACII™ Aircraft Weighing System
The ACII™ Aircraft Weighing System is the premium solution from the Intercomp group of companies for the extremely precise determination of aircraft weight and center of gravity. This system is an ideal choice for all flight operations where strict adherence to weight and balance requirements is essential, whether for commercial, private, or military applications. The ACII™ platform scales excellently combine a robust design with the latest measurement technology, ensuring reliable and fast results.
Key Features and Advantages
The ACII™ system was created in the spirit of accuracy, durability, and user-friendliness. The platform design allows for the measurement of each landing gear strut or jacking point of the aircraft, which is essential for accurate center of gravity calculation.
- Outstanding Accuracy: The system provides accuracy conforming to the highest industry standards, minimizing measurement errors, which is critical for flight safety.
- Robust Construction: The weighing platforms are made of durable materials that withstand the rigors of the airport environment, including extreme temperatures and mechanical loads.
- Integrated Solutions: The ACII™ system integrates excellently with Intercomp's advanced display and software tools, such as the TAC30™ touchscreen display or RFX® wireless solutions, facilitating data recording and processing.
- Versatile Application: Available in configurations of various capacities to meet the needs ranging from small private aircraft to larger, medium-capacity machines.
- Simplified Center of Gravity Calculation: Software connected to the system (e.g., ACWeigh™ or iACWeigh™) automates the center of gravity calculation processes based on the measured data.

Advantages of the Platform Weighing System
Compared to traditional lift-style weighing systems, ACII™ platform scales offer numerous advantages in the weighing process:
- Faster Weighing: The platforms can be placed directly under conveyors, allowing for faster setup and measurement, especially in environments requiring frequent weighing.
- Stability: The wide, stable platforms provide excellent support, reducing the risk of platform shifting during measurement.
- Capacity Scalability: The modular design of the system allows users to supplement or replace existing platforms as the requirements of their aircraft fleet change.
Related Accessory Systems
The ACII™ system benefits from Intercomp's wide range of accessories, ensuring a complete weighing ecosystem:
- Jack Weigh Kits: The AC100™ and EZ RFX® Jack Weigh Kits offer an alternative solution, particularly when platform placement is not feasible or when the center of gravity needs to be determined at the main lift points.
- Indicators and Software: The TAC30™ CPU provides a touchscreen interface for immediate display and recording of measurements. RFX® wireless technology increases flexibility around the weighing points.
- Calibration Systems: CSM™ (manual) and CSA™ (automated) test stands guarantee that the weighing system continuously meets stringent aerospace requirements.
Application Areas
The ACII™ Aircraft Weighing System is widely applicable in numerous segments of the aviation industry:
- Commercial Airlines: For daily or weekly weight and balance checks, optimizing fuel consumption and payload.
- Maintenance and Repair Facilities: High-precision measurements required for post-structural work inspections.
- eVTOL Development: For determining the center of gravity and dynamic loads of the new generation of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
- Military Applications: Solutions dedicated to the military segment (see Military Scales) that comply with strict defense standards.
- Low and Medium Capacity Aircraft: The AC15-LP™ and AC40-LP™ models are ideal for smaller, lighter aircraft where space can be an issue.
- High Capacity Platforms: The AC60-LP™ and AC30-60™ systems provide a solution for applications requiring higher load capacity.
The ACII™ is not just a weighing device; it is a comprehensive solution for increasing flight safety and efficiency in the field of weight management. The system's reliability and the expertise provided by Intercomp guarantee that every measurement is taken with the highest level of accuracy.
