METTLER TOLEDO

METTLER TOLEDO MS-TS, ML-T and ME-T Analytical Balances for Density Determiation of Solid Samples

Use your balance and a density kit to determine the density of a solid sample with the help of Archimedes' principle: Perform one weighing in air and one in liquid, then let your METTLER TOLEDO balance do the rest.

When you need great perfromance and durability, Advanced Level balances like the MS-TS, ML-T and ME-T banlances are the right choice. Intuitive operation and integrated applications make your weighing process fast and convienient.

The built-in density applicaiton provides complete workflows for various density methods. The application guides you step-by-step through the procedure, collects the results, calculates the density and allows statistical evaluation of the measurement series.

Best Medical Scales
Zemic 1HM Bending Miniature Sensors (0.5kg-20kg) used for improving ergonomics
Zemic Europe B.V.

Zemic 1HM Bending Miniature Sensors (0.5kg-20kg) used for improving ergonomics

The 1HM Aluminium bending miniature sensor is used for esense. Esense systems are applied on a wide range of products, such as patient lifts, hospital beds and mobile operating table. Esense makes it possible to move these products in a natural way for the user. This sensor has a high accuracy and is available in capacities from 0,5 up to 20 kg.

Indes developed the esense technology together with Zemic Europe. Esense makes moving easier by using a fifth wheel. To control this fifth wheel a miniature force sensor is integrated into the grip. Zemic is specialized in the production and development of miniature sensors and has developed a sensor specifically for connecting to the Indes software. Zemic has added an extra cable and a connector.

As a designer and manufacturer of millions of straingages and miniature sensors Zemic has developed itself as a specialist in this field. Due to the limited space in a machine or the special mounting requirements it is a continuous challenge to develop a tailor-made fit for our customers. Zemic has a specially equipped miniature sensor department, for the design, sampling and production of custom made miniature sensors.

Best Dosing, Filling and Packaging Solutions
Siemens Siwarex WP351
Siemens

Siemens Siwarex WP351

New ultra-compact weighing electronics for maximum precision.

Siwarex WP351 is Siemens’ newest solution for intelligent weighing automation. Measuring 20 millimeters width by 65 millimeters height, the module is one of the smallest weighing electronics units available. The device’s 1,000 Hz sampling rate and processing time combined with a digital output response time of less than one millisecond guarantee highest accuracy and repeatability. This capability represents especially in case of checking scales and high performance filling machines a big advantage, as even within very short weighing times the dosing devices are controlled in an optimal way.

As an integral part of Simatic ET 200SP, Siwarex WP351 can be seamlessly integrated into Simatic and non-Simatic automation systems, making it a clever alternative to traditional weighing terminals. The intelligent firmware gives users the ability to control weighing processes directly from the module, thereby reducing the load on the connected PLC.

Through the ethernet-connected web server, users can quickly commission and maintain the device - or gain emergency access to the scale in case of a failed or disrupted PLC. Seamless connectivity coupled with device status transparency and full access to all scale data ensures fast servicing that minimizes downtimes.
Compatible with almost all analog strain gauge load cells, Siwarex WP351 is a versatile solution for demanding weighing applications such as mixing, filling, bagging, checking, or totalizing.

Thanks to all upcoming certificates also in legal-for-trade operation according to OIML R-51, R-61, R-76 or R-107.

Best Weigh-In-Motion Systems (WIM)
Kistler KiTraffic Digital
Kistler Group

Kistler KiTraffic Digital

KiTraffic Digital is the ultimate Weigh In Motion tool to protect road infrastructure. Thanks to an unmatched accuracy of up to 2%, it enables detecting overloaded vehicles with maximum hit rate. KiTraffic Digital operates regardless of lane changes and road quality, contributes to road safety by detecting vehicles with flat tires and features highest uptime thanks to integrated health monitoring.

In the late 1990s, Kistler revolutionized the Weigh In Motion (WIM) market with the world’s first quartz-based WIM sensor. 20 years later, KiTraffic Digital stands for the next revolution.

The demand to efficiently enforce overloaded vehicles is growing globally to ensure road safety and protect the road infrastructure, as vehicle weight heavily contributes to road damage.

Accurate and reliable WIM data, which can be used in front of court, is crucial to directly enforce overloaded vehicles. Existing WIM technology struggles to meet this requirement, as road properties or driving maneuvers can turn measurements invalid.

The KiTraffic Digital WIM system overcomes these limitations. It allows to significantly increase the hit rate of enforceable overloaded vehicles. This improves efficiency in weight enforcement, as every single vehicle on the road is weighted precisely and penalties can be issued automatically. Besides overloaded vehicles, KiTraffic Digital also detects flat tires in order to reduce the number of unsafe trucks on the road.

The core of the innovative system is the Lineas Digital sensor. Seven published patents emphasize its novelty value. By processing the signal of each single quartz disk separately, the following new values are created:

  • Most accurate WIM measurements (up to 2%), as mechanical tolerances are compensated
  • Reliable WIM measurements, independent of driving maneuvers (e.g. lane changes) and road conditions (changing road stiffness)
  • Detection of tire type (single / dual tires) and status (flat) with the very same sensor
  • Less installation effort as no inductive loops and no additional sensors are required
  • Monitoring of sensor health status enables efficient maintenance and highest uptime

Combined with the industrial grade electronics, the new Lineas Digital sensor and the KiTraffic Digital system clearly increase efficiency of ITS solutions such as Weight Enforcement or Electronic Toll Collection.
