Do You Want To Reduce The Loss During Production by GM ChexGo Checkweighers

 

 
 

Do you know how much cost you can save from the production waste or labor? General Measure ChexGo series checkweigher can help you save the labor cost, reduce the loss from production waste and increase production efficiency by automatically checking the weight of products and rejecting unqualified ones to protect brand reputation.

 

General Measure's checkweighers can easily replace the labor to build in the production line for automatically checking the weights of products. The automatic feedback system of checkweigher 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, each pack's weight's accuracy will be improved to reduce loss and improve efficiency. All the statistical data can be exported through the USB.

 

In ChexGo series, currently, there are 5 different models, which are CW-100G, CW-600G, CW-1.2K, CW-15K, CW-60K. CW-100G (weight range: 1-500g) is suitable for checking the packs' weight of medicine, snack food, cosmetics or skin care, etc. The highest speed is 300pcs/min, and the highest accuracy can be ±0.1g. CW-600G (weight range:5-600g) and CW-1.2K (weight range:10-1200g) can be used for checking the weight of small boxes/bags/bottles of food&beverage, pet foods, and so on. The highest speed can reach 150-200pcs/min, and the highest accuracy is ±0.5g. CW-15K (weight range:0.1-15kg) and CW-60K (weight range:0.1-60kg) are usually applied in logistics, chemicals, grains, or construction industries to check the weight of big pack products. The highest accuracy can reach ±10g. When the product is over or under the set weight range, it will be rejected by the rejection device, such as the air blow rejector, push-type rejector, swing arm rejector, etc.

 

With the affordable price and good quality, General Measure ChexGo checkweighers are applied to thousands of factories of different industries in domestic and overseas markets.

6.5World Environment Day | General Measure Contribute to Build A Clean Earth

 Jun 5th, World Environment Day is coming soon. "Only One Earth" is the campaign slogan focusing on "Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature". It is celebrated by millions of people across the world.  

  China has always advocated the green lifestyle of low-carbon and environmentally friendly, utilizing green technology innovation to reduce carbon emissions and increasing tree planting to neutralize carbon emissions. China strives to achieve a carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2060 to jointly build clean and beautiful earth.  

  As a responsible enterprise pursuing sustainable development, General Measure intends to contribute our modest strength to constructing clean and beautiful earth.  

    

  As a professional industrial weighing instrument and equipment supplier, General Measure brings accurate and high-speed products to various industries' weighing and measuring processes. It reduces the waste in the production process, reduces energy loss, and improves efficiency. In addition, General Measure has been vigorously developing products related to the lithium industry in the past two years, providing essential weight transmitting and controlling for the production of new lithium energy batteries.  

  It is mainly used in the first stage of powder dosing and the weight proportioning of raw materials in the homogenizing and transferring tank.  

  1. General Measure GM8802 Profinet version: it is widely used in the homogenizing transit tank of major lithium battery equipment manufacturers to provide an accuracy guarantee for the raw material proportioning of lithium batteries.  

  2. General Measure GMT-P1 Profinet version: OIML R76 approval, the latest popular products. The annual sales are more than 10,000 units. The compact body (panel mount size 93*46mm, depth 91mm) saves space in the equipment electric control box. The package of GMT-P1 is simple and environmentally friendly, including a simple instruction brochure (scan the QR code on the body of the indicator to get the complete electronic version of the manual). Embedded with the anti-vibration filter, GMT-P1 has high-speed and high-accurate performance in a harsh industrial environment.  


      3. General Measure GMT-X1 Profinet version: DIN rail-mount saves the space. With stainless steel housing, it is stable and durable. Support Bluetooth to connect mobile phone, by using Weasy APP can be configurated parameters and monitored IO port real-time status. Built-in Web page, GMT-X1 can be connected to the computer through a network port to realize remote parameter configuration and weight transmitter status monitoring.  

  In addition to front-end dosing, GM's weight indicators are also suitable for:  

  Coating machine: The indicator monitors the change of tension of copper and aluminum foil in real-time, which is convenient for system control to ensure the coating thickness is uniform and reliable.  

  Winding machine: The indicator monitors the change of tension when winding, which is convenient for system control to ensure winding quality.  

  Cold press/hot press machine: The indicator monitors the pressure when the cell is pressed to ensure the process requirements.  

  Liquid filling machine: The indicator monitors the cell weight to ensure the liquid filling quantity meets the process requirements.  

  Etc.  

    

  Under the background of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, China vigorously develops new energy and advocates the concept of green energy-saving and environmental protection. General Measure also keeps practicing green environmental protection, producing environmentally friendly weight indicators used in the lithium new energy industry

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.
