General Measure Participated in the Development of Verification Regulation of Automatic Checkweighers

 Automatic checkweigher is a device that measures the weight of an object in a dynamic process, which is widely used in the weight rechecking of products before they leave the factory. For example, the food processing industry needs to check the weight of finished products to ensure that product quality and specifications meet standards. Automatic checkweighers enable efficient and fast weighing operations, increasing productivity and reducing human error. Checkweighers can regulate product standards, and what do we use to regulate checkweigher standards?

 

Different countries have their own supervision departments, as does China. The product quality supervision department of China attaches great importance to the development of standards for the performance and specification of automatic checkweighers. General Measure, as an enterprise with more than 30 years of weighing and measuring experience and more than 10 years of design and development technology of checkweigher, was invited to participate in the development of verification regulation of automatic checkweighers for one of the provinces. The regulation standardizes the production of checkweighers, by which General Measure's high-speed and high-precision checkweighers provide stable performance.

Metrology in Digital Era | General Measure Weighing in Digitalization

 

 

 

In an era of the digital world, all the industries are looking for integrating digital technologies into their existing infrastructure of applications to transform the way they work and increase efficiency.

The organization of BIPM and OIML announced the theme of 2022 World Metrology Day is Metrology in Digital Era.

In this context, General Measure combines digital technologies into the practical applications of industrial weighing to bring convenience to customers.

1. Weighing transmitter GMT-X1 can be configurated and monitored by a mobile app: Weasy (available for android systems), connecting through Bluetooth. For instance, to save time and energy, we can use Weasy-app to calibrate the GMT-X1 and make sure it works properly. Moreover, when there is something wrong with the connection between PLC and weighing transmitters, we don't need to check the weighing transmitter one by one. Just opening weasy-app to check the parameters compared to PLC, we can easily find out which weighing transmitter is setting an error and simply correct it.

2. ChexGo series checkweighers are embedded with the automatic feedback system, which can send every checked product weight as pulse signals to the packing machine through the IO ports. With the advanced algorithm and automatic control system, the accuracy of each pack's weight will be improved, so as to reduce loss and improve efficiency.

3. General Measure Mini Data Center box can be connected through LAN port or wifi, using the weasy web page to import the data of checkweigher or packing machine to the PC. It can support up to 30 devices at the same time. When the connection failed during uploading,  it will save the progress automatically and reupload the data starting from the disconnected entry if the connection recovers, solving the disconnection problem of uploading data and bringing convenience to data analysis and management.

Inventions with digital technologies facilitate people's work and life. General Measure always strives to innovate industrial weighing technology and manufacture high-quality products to benefit our clients.

General Measure Weighing Transmitter GMT-H1 for Silo Weighing

 

 

 

GMT-H1 weighing transmitter is developed for managing incoming/outgoing material for silo weighing applications in concrete, asphalt mixing plants, feed, metallurgy and chemical batching industries.

 

In this video, we are going to demonstrate how to use GMT-H1 for silo weighing in managing in/out material weights.

 

Firstly, three important parameters need to be set, which are min in WT, min out WT, and in/out time delay. Entering the application settings, there is an IN/OUT materials setting page, which you can find these three parameters.

 

Here is an example, if it is the first time to set the parameters, we need to enter a six-digit password, the default password is 000000. Then enter the setting page, to set the minimum feed weight as 300g, and the minimum discharge weight is also set to 300g. Then we can set IN/OUT delay time to 1s, back to the home page. 

 

To verify if the setting parameter works, we put a 200g weight here, you can find there is no changes on GMT-H1, Likewise, we remove the weight, there is also no changes on display, as well as no signal for incoming and outgoing materials. That is because 200g is less than the minimum in/out weight we set. However when the 500g weight is placed on, we find that there is an in-feed symbol and the value is displayed after one second, and when the weight is removed,  the out-feed symbol is also displayed and the value is updated to the current WT after one second.

 

So the minimum IN/OUT weight means that when the material weight changes positively or negatively more than the set value, the weighing transmitter will consider that as a valid feeding or discharging action. The IN/OUT delay time provides that if the weight no longer changes within the set time, then the feeding or discharging is considered complete and the weight data is displayed.

 

GMT-H1 also offers a data recording function, which allows you to view one entry of data and daily weight data as well as the total accumulated data by entering the historical data page, which can also be accessed through the various communication protocols, like RS485,  Modbus-RTU, Modbus-TCP/IP, GPRS.
