ABSTRACT:
A combinatorial weighing method and apparatus for supplying a plurality of weighing machines with articles to be weighed, obtaining a plurality of combinations of the weighing machines, each weighing machine combination giving a combination of articles having a combined weight value equal or closest to a target weight value, and selecting an optimum combination from these plural combinations. The optimum combination is one which provides a combination of articles having a combined weight value having a minimum error with respect to the target weight value and which is within preset allowable limits. The statistical dispersion of the weight values from the weighing machines which do not participate in the combination has a value that is equal to or greater than a predetermined tolerance. When an optimum combination is obtained, the articles are discharged from the weighing machines corresponding thereto.
