Advanced Technologies Providing Innovative Solutions

Smart SHS Technology

A&D’s Smart-Super Hybrid Sensor (SHS) technology is the foundation of the innovative solutions found in the Apollo Series. The Smart sensor improvements stem from better design, construction, and materials, resulting in better performance and turbo stabilization times of 1 second. This increases productivity for all weighing work-flows in both labs and

production environments. Smart-SHS also gives higher maintainability with a reduced number of parts while still offering maintenance accessibility, unlike other Mono-type systems which only increase cost of ownership. A&D’s easy eccentricity adjustment and hybrid design are two prime examples of this high maintainability. We execute for the highest performance, and keep our customer’s bottom-line in mind.

Remarkable cost and time savings at the touch of a button.

Electronically Controlled Load (ECL) Innovation

The operator simply holds the mode key to first perform a self diagnostic check and proceed to ECL where internally a repeatability test is performed without use of an external weight. This critically checks the stability of analog-to-digital conversion before applying a controlled load inside the balance (between 0.3% to 3% of the weighing capacity). It does this by altering the equilibrium state of the weigh sensor and takes 10 repeated measurements. The entire process takes only 1.5 minutes versus traditional repeatability procedures which can take up to 10 minutes, ultimately giving greater convenience and time savings to customers.

The ECL technology provides valuable information which Auto Precision Assessment (APA) smartly processes into meaningful, beneficial outcomes such as Dia-Check, Standard Deviation, Quick Min-S, and Min-S-Alert.

Dia-Check quickly gives users peace of mind to proceed with daily weighing routines, providing a critical pass or fail indication. A powerful, dynamic tool to diagnose, and verify balance performance.

ECL steps it up a notch by producing the most valuable information, the Standard Deviation (SD), allowing users to quickly assess the balance performance under any given environment. This is helpful to include in daily SOP checks.

SD also can determine the minimum sample weight with a feature called QuickMin-S. QuickMin-S helps to overcome challenges with handling small weights, accessibility to in-line systems, and in tough environmental conditions

ECL goes one step further allowing users to set the minimum sample weight limit and provides a real time alert with Min-S-Alert. Users always feel secure knowing they are in compliance of USP 41 and does not limit how often a minimum sample weight can be determined. This gives more flexibility to follow recommendations of USP 1251. What is so remarkable is this can be performed at the touch of a button, within minutes, in challenging conditions, without the need of an external calibration weight.

APOLLO SERIES

Factory Tough–Laboratory Precise

Impact Shock Detection (ISD) Innovation

Often balances can be damaged or errors can occur due to sharp impacts from automated machine loading or operators dropping material onto

the pan. The Apollo series educates, prevents and documents such scenarios. ISD visually indicates the magnitudes of impact shocks that a weigh sensor receives at four different levels. It audibly beeps once at

Level 3 and twice at Level 4 delivered through the feature of Impact-Alert.

This patented technology provides real-time feedback mechanisms that prevent the sensor from being damaged and can ultimately train and influence operator behaviors. ISD smartly strives for operators to have better weighing techniques, while also helping to program or modify loading in-line automated processes. Impact-Alert ensures the investment of the balance is protected, helps to extend the life of

balance, reduce repair and replacement cost and ensure productivity can be maintained by reducing downtime.

Real-time feedback prevents the sensor from being damaged.

ISD takes protection one step higher with Shock-log that documents the date, time, and shock level. This enables managers and quality officers to pinpoint the exact moment a critical shock occurred to quickly assess and fix critical failure to get operations back online.

Overload Protection

The weight sensor is well protected against vertical and transverse static overloading. It won’t break due to malfunction of the weighing system’s actuator and the resulting excess “E” load. Additionally there are two leaf springs that support the weighing pan of the Apollo series also mitigate impact shocks significantly. A&D once again takes protection to heart ensuring the Apollo series is the same A&D strong, A&D tough you’ve come to know in labs and factories alike.
