Weigh module design enhances safety and service

Mettler Toledo’s new weigh module SWB605 PowerMount was designed to be easy to install and offers rugged construction, built-in safety features and continuous load cell monitoring. These design details — particularly standard POWERCELL load cell monitoring — are claimed to enable easier operation and maintenance for significant time and cost-savings long term.

Without the kind of continuous monitoring offered by POWERCELL, errors such as load cell overload, poor communication between modules, out-of-symmetry errors and out-of-range temperatures can go unnoticed for long periods. When they do, out-of specification batches and poor quality product are the result. Significant costs and damage to company reputation can occur.

SWB605 PowerMount POWERCELL-equipped load cells with on-board microprocessors should not only alert operators to performance degradation but also adjust the weighing signal to compensate for environmental changes so accurate weighing is achieved regardless of the effects of temperature, linearity, hysteresis and creep.

In the unlikely event of load cell failure, SWB605 PowerMount’s design also makes individual load cells easier to replace. Global approvals are standard on SWB605 PowerMount POWERCELL, including OIML C3, C6 and C10, NTEP 5000d and 10000d.
