New Sartorius mass comparator for highest accuracy including fully automatic vacuum transfer system

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Sartorius cooperated with Technische Universität Ilmenau to develop the innovative automatic mass comparator VMC1007. This facilitates highly accurate mass comparisons of weights between 100 g and 1 kg under controlled atmospheric conditions, and in a vacuum. For permanent storage of weights under vacuum conditions, the mass comparator can optionally be configured with a vacuum transfer system and corresponding containers. The device is very compact, has eight universal positions for directly handling weights of different shapes and allows for precise and fast mass comparisons. In order to make the processes for inserting and ejecting weights as simple and safe as possible, all mechanical movement axes are motorised. Mass comparisons can be controlled, monitored and analysed easily and irrespective of the operating system using web-based user interface. In all processes, the user is intuitively guided through the individual steps to enable safe, efficient and convenient work.
