Weighing & Calibration Tools

Drawing ball validation tools that prove the draw was fair.

Auditors and regulators don't take your word for it — they read the report. The DBVS measures ball weight to 0.001g, auto-identifies RFID balls, and generates PDF reports you can publish to your regulator the same day.

Why ball weight matters

A heavier ball is a less-random ball.

The difference between a random draw and a biased one is sometimes a few thousandths of a gram. A ball that's heavier than its set falls more often. A ball that's lighter floats. Weight-matched sets are the foundation of every certified lottery draw — and drawing ball validation tools like the DBVS are how you prove they stay matched.

Save time. Stay in compliance. Show your players the math.

The toolset

Three tools. One audit-ready workflow.

Three drawing ball validation tools: the DBVS for the deep validation pass, the Go/NoGo gauge for daily checks, and the Setra scale as the industry-standard reference.

DBVS — Drawing Ball Validation System

Standalone appliance. 0.001g scale. Auditor-ready PDFs.

A computer-controlled digital scale that weighs each ball to 0.001g accuracy. For RFID-equipped SmartBalls, the system auto-identifies each ball number and assigns the weight automatically — no manual lookup, no manual entry. Generates auditor-ready PDF reports tracking average weight, max/min, and long-term wear.

Go/NoGo dimensional gauge

Go/NoGo Gauge

Pass-through dimensional verification.

A simple, fast pass-through gauge for dimensional QC. If the ball passes through the larger aperture but not the smaller, it is within tolerance. The everyday tool for daily-spec checks and pre-draw verification.

Setra industry-standard scale

Setra Industry-Standard Scale

The industry-standard ball scale.

Setra is the industry-standard weight scale used by lottery operators worldwide. We provide it pre-configured for lottery ball weighing and integrated with our reporting workflow — generate ball reports quickly and accurately.

Reporting & audit features

Every reading. Every ball. Every audit.

The DBVS doesn't just measure — it logs, tracks, and reports. Every validation pass produces a timestamped PDF you can hand to your regulator, post on your transparency page, or archive for the audit cycle.

Average weight per set

The set-wide mean weight and standard deviation across every ball, batch-by-batch.

Max / min values

Highest and lowest weights flagged automatically — easy compliance verification.

Long-term wear tracking

Trend lines across months and years show wear-down and indicate when sets need retirement.

PDF auditor reports

Generates suitable-for-publication PDF reports — the same kind you publish to regulators and players.

RFID auto-assignment

For SmartBall sets, each ball weight is auto-tagged to its ball number — zero manual lookup.

Tamper-evident logs

Every reading is timestamped and logged for audit — a regulator can trace any reported value back to its original measurement.

Why Smartplay validation

The same shop that built your balls validates them.

End-to-end accountability

We manufacture the balls. We build the validation tools. We support both — fully accountable across the entire calibration chain.

Auditor-ready by default

Every report is built to a format regulators recognize. No re-formatting, no spreadsheets, no manual rework.

Workflow-integrated

DBVS, Go/NoGo gauge, and Setra scale plug into the same workflow — one operator can complete a full validation pass in minutes.

Standalone appliance

The DBVS is its own appliance — no external PC, no IT setup, no network access required. Plug in and validate.
