MOST ACCURATE WAY FOR COUNTING, WEIGHING, FILLING AND
BATCHING - AND MOST
ECONOMICAL!
OPERATION
Simple 60 second setup. Just add
counterweight, set bulk, target and over points and go! No
programming - no keyboard.
The model 1650 automatic netweigher
is based on a balance mechanism using 10 frictionless bearings
called flexures. The scale at rest is always a perfect balance. That
balance is disturbed by putting a weight equal to the target weight
in the weigh cup (or by using optional ring weights on a weigh pin).
The machine then feeds product into the weigh hopper until the scale
is balanced again. At this point, the weight of the product equals
the weight in the weigh cup (or pin).
There is
absolutely no programming for the user.
SUPERB ACCURACY
The 1650 uses an unique over-under
counter balance mechanism - NOT a load cell. The accuracy of a load
cell is based on its entire range (i.e. 1 gram in 1000, 1 gram in
100, 1 gram in 10 and 1 ram in 1).
Tridyne's frictionless bearing
scale head concentrates only in the target area - usually a 20
gram range. Accuracies of 1/100 of a gram are possible.
DUAL RANGE OPTION
The model 1650 is available in three
weight ranges: 0-4oz (0-100 grams), 0-2lbs (0-1kg), and 0-4lbs
(0-2kg). A unique modification permits Tridyne to make the 1650
virtually into two scales. So a user doing 1oz. weighments sets a
switch to the 0-4 oz range and for 1lb weighments turns the switch
to 0-2lb range.
EASY CLEAN UP
All contact parts are stainless
steel. Storage hopper, weigh hopper and discharge chute are
removable for cleaning.
NO UNDERWEIGHTS - LESS GIVE-AWAY
When properly set up the 1650 will
never permit underweights. Overweights (give-away) are minimized
because of this scale's extreme accuracy - in many cases, 10 times
less than with a typical load cell based system.
WEIGH OR WEIGH COUNT
Weigh count 500,000 pills, bolts,
clips etc. per hour! Simply put the desired count or equivalent
weight in the counter weight pan. Many times faster than piece
counters.
ELECTRONICS FOR THE NON-ENGINEER
The 1650 electronics are not only
totally reliable but constantly monitor the entire system operation.
16 point diagnostics help to pin point operational errors and give
an indication of its location. Because of the modular design, PC
boards can be exchanged in minutes.
No Field Service Needed
The 1650 is designed to be completely
user serviceable. All components are swappable and 16 point
diagnostics help pin-point operational errors. Any component is
available from the factory overnight.
SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE......?
Between the Tridyne 1650 and all the
other netweighing scales?
Plenty!
Scale accuracy is usually quoted as a
percentage of its range. A load cell based scale may have a
range of, say, 0-2000 grams (4.4 lbs.) with a rated accuracy of
0.1%. This translates to 2 grams (one part in 1000).
In a 4lb. weighment that's pretty
good - just a 2 gram give-away. But if your target weight is 1lb.
your give-away is still 2 grams - and at 1oz. (28.35 grams) it is 2
grams.
Consider that the accuracy ratings
are idealistic. In reality we expect the numbers to be 3 - 5 times
rated accuracy in automatic systems. At 0.5% a 2000 gram cell will
have a 10 gram give-away anywhere within its range. That's still not
bad at 4lbs., but at 1/2lb. that's terrible.
Let's say your product is worth
$1/lb. and you are doing 10 bags a minute 8 hours per day, 50 weeks
a year. That's 10 bags X 10gr. X 60 min. X 8 hours (48000 grams)
divided by 453.6 = 106lb X $1 = 1106/day in give-away. In one year
that amounts to over $26,000!
NOW COMES THE 1650
The automatic netweigher is based on
a counter balance mechanism using 10 fractionless bearings
called Flexures. The scale at rest is always in perfect balance.
That balance is disturbed by putting a weight equal to the target
weight in the weight cup (or by using optional ring weights on a
weight pin).
At this point the scale is out of
balance, resting on its stops. It remains in this condition until
the weight of the product being fed into the weigh hopper nears the
target weight. Only then does the scale move from the stops and the
mesurement of motion begin - usually within a 40 gram range.
SO, the
1650 is looking at a 40 gram area anywhere within its capacity
range. Using the same example as above (0.1% X 5 = 0.5% ) 0.5% X
40gr = 0.2 (2/10ths) of a gram X 10 BPM = 2gr X 60min = 120gr X 8
hours = 960gr divided by 453.6 = 2.17lbs/day X $1 = $2.17 give-away
per day. That is less than $530/year.
OTHER ADVANTAGES
Hydraulic Damping
A typical load cell is actually a
spring manufactured usually from a precipitation stainless steel -
typically 17-4-PH. Devices called strain gauges are epoxied to
the metal. The stain gauges measure the flex of the spring. This
movement is electronically amplified, processed and displayed in
some meaningful terms to the user. When springs unload they tend to
vibrate. In order to compensate for this vibration an electronic
sampling or damping technique is used. This increases the time per
weighment if it's to be accurate. The 1650 uses a completely
different damping method - hydraulic. Not only is this quicker, but
it is also field adjustable by the user - electronic damping is not
adjustable.
