* Smallest component weight for part counting - under lab conditions:
There are ideal ambient conditions for high-resolution counting
The parts to be counted are not scattered
** Smallest component part for part counting – under normal conditions:
There are unsteady ambient conditions (draft, vibrations)
The parts to be counted are being scattered
