- Large capacity rack allows longer walk-way measurement time
- Dual robotic arm save time by collecting up to four test weights and a reference weight for simultaneous measurement
- Modular, compact design provides three systems to suit different applications and budgets
Germany, October 23, 2020 – Sartorius, a leading international partner of the life science industry today introduced three new Table-Top CCR-C Automated Mass Comparators to expand its premium weight calibration range. These compact systems combine user-driven features to support efficiency and accuracy, enabling metrology and calibration laboratories to achieve high-throughput, reliable, mass dissemination and calibration.
Designed to save laboratory space, the new automated CCR-C Table-Top Mass Comparators, consist of dual robotic arms that pick and place the reference and test weights simultaneously from a 120-magazine position rack and transfer them to a weighing cell. These robust mass comparators are integrated with easy to use software which guides users to set-up their process workflows for accurate measurements. This premium weighing technology comes in three different models that are suited to the requirements of National Metrology Institutes and Legal Metrology Laboratories accredited up to Class E1, or calibration laboratories accredited up to Class E2 or F1.
For maximum productivity and user comfort, the CCR-10 automated mass comparator’s unique 120-magazine position rack allows loading of a large number of weights. The rack has a hand rest for users to utilize while loading the magazine positions and can hold any weight shapes and sizes from 1 mg to 10 g without needing additional weight carriers or holders. These clever features mean that the CCR-C Table-top Mass Comparators can provide continuous walk-away measurements overnight, or at weekends and is ideal for laboratories that demand high throughput.
Built for optimum efficiency, the CCR-10 Table-top Mass Comparator’s dual robotic arm with its patented multi and single weight handlers can collect of up to four weights, as well as a reference weight for simultaneous measurement in a minimum number of movements. Using fewer movements ensures fast weighing with less risk to weighing repeatability, thus generating results that meet the high levels of precision that the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) demand.
The CCR-C table-top mass comparators come with built-in climate sensor in the weighing cells, which makes corrections according to changes in temperature, humidity and air pressure to ensure optimum weighing accuracy. When in use, the mass comparators’ Windows-based software automatically acquires data for secure processing and storage in a range of user-friendly formats, eliminating time-consuming, error prone manual data handling, to assure accuracy and reproducibility.
Dirk Ahlbrecht, Head of Product Management Lab Weighing at Sartorius comments: “Due to limitation on space and budget automated mass comparator systems need to be small enough to fit on a table-top and be more affordable than large systems. However, as many metrology facilities are in cities where there are vibrations from traffic, they also have to be designed to be robust and stabilize quickly to ensure accurate mass comparison measurements at high throughput.”
“We’re delighted to introduce our CCR-C Automated Table-top Mass Comparator range as it offers an excellent, cost-effective solution to many of these challenges. The well-designed, compact equipment generates results with low error rates, saving users the time and cost of repeating measurements,” adds Ahlbrecht.
