Weighing instruments deliver accurate, traceable results
When completeness or intactness matters, product quality can be checked and quality data collected through weight-based quality control (WBQC). Weighing instruments with new innovative functions deliver accurate, traceable results in seconds. Advanced display applications make it easy for operators to gather required data gained from the objective process of weighing and ensure fast operation. Built-in database functions supply reliable and comprehensive quality control data gathering. Taken together, these abilities make WBQC an affordable, easy-to-implement and secure way of checking product quality, intactness and completeness.
Checking completeness and enhancing performance
There are a huge variety of manufacturing concerns that can be addressed with WBQC. Parameters can be verified using customized tolerance windows for ensuring a correct number of parts and checking completeness of kits. Items that have already been packed for shipping can also be checked for completeness before they are dispatched. Manufactured items, such as cabling, can also be checked for length.
Other ways WBQC can help with manufactured items is by weighing casings to make sure there are no gaps or pockets that could affect performance. Coatings can be checked for application and thickness. The density of sintered parts can also be confirmed. Completeness of assemblies, lubricant amounts and whether or not parts are counterbalanced are also items that can be addressed via WBQC.
Improved accuracy and immediate results
Benefits of WBQC are numerous. They include the aspects of objective measuring for accuracy, instant data capture and immediate results. This helps to improve throughput, ease of use, ability to calibrate to standards, data capture speed and the ability to individualize application according to process needs.
An intelligent combination reduces errors
One company, US Engine Valve, chose a combination of the ICS685 Weighing Terminal and the PBD655 Bench Scale Platform. This intelligent combination paved the way to improve record verification, efficiency and accuracy – all while dramatically reducing human errors. The new system has reduced the errors that could have cost the company reputational damage and affected the bottom line.
