Balans controleert betrouwbaar afvulhoeveelheid productcontainers
March 1, 2010
Een wereldwijd gerenommeerde producent van kunststof onderdelen voor de automobielindustrie maakt gebruik van de NewClassic MS303S-balans voor de cruciale taak om te controleren of productcontainers nauwkeurig gevuld zijn. De reputatie en winst van het bedrijf zijn afhankelijk van de nauwkeurige, betrouwbare weegresultaten van deze stap in de kwaliteitsborging.
A world-renowned producer of plastic parts for the automotive industry is using a NewClassic MS303S balance for the crucial task of checking that product containers are being filled accurately. Company reputation and profits depend on the accurate, dependable weighing results from this quality assurance step.
As with all items sold, products for the automotive industry are subject to strict regulations on the sale of goods. Moreover, there are brand promises to be delivered, especially by a renowned producer such as this. As such, quality control is extremely important throughout the production environment, including the point where products are filled into the containers that will end up with the car manufacturers. Under-fill them, and the customer will feel cheated. Overfill them, and the excess cuts into profit margins. Therefore, it is absolutely vital to ensure that the quantity inside remains within defined tolerance limits.
Quality assurance in action
As these products will be delivered to the manufacturers, quality control checks must be made using balances that are certified as legal for trade. The customer chose a NewClassic MS303S/M precision balance, capable of weighing up to 320g with a readability of 0.001g. It stands next to the production line where, every half hour, an operator takes 10 random samples off of the line for weighing. The sample weights are documented in a printout, complete with date and time, which is important for later audits. Every sample must be within tolerance and the printed record has to be signed by the shift leader before the batch is approved for release.
The MS303S comes with a draft shield as standard. This is especially relevant considering that the balance operates in an open-plan industrial shed, where air currents are always a possibility. However, the customer has chosen to remove the front and right-hand draft shield panels. This simple task, accomplished without tools, has not impaired weighing stability. However, it does help with the placement of items to be weighed. With the greatest source of disturbance being downdrafts from overhead air conditioning units, the balance is still protected from above.
Satisfaction guaranteed
The customer is highly satisfied with this weighing solution, citing in particular the rapid setting of the time and user interface language, intuitive operation and complete dependability. Everyone can be certain that the quantity of product stated on the container agrees with the actual amount inside.
