Situation 2007 FULLY AUTOMATIC MASS LABORATORY FROM 1 mg UP TO 20 kg
– ROBOTS PERFORM HIGH PRECISION MASS DETERMINATION
Fully automatic System for alternating weights on mass comparators with different weighing capacity have been realized:•) 1 mg up to 10 g Handling system,
•) 10 g up to 1 kg Handling system and
•) up to 20 (50) kg Handling system (using two comparators)EURAMET Meeting March 2008 Mass Christian Buchner page 3

•CAD design overview an reality:
• The main parts of the handling system up to 1 kg:
• The weight carrier with the lift and the axis,
• the balance and the weighing room• the magazine (40 places)

The way of the weights:• direct bringing in the weights in
the magazine• puting in the weight data in the
software• the weight carrier put them from
the magazine EURAMET Meeting March 2008 Mass

weight holder of the loading platform and magazine places:
• ) cylinder weights and disc weights from 10 g up to 1 kg
• ) single or in groups• ) all without pallets
due to the minimal gap between the fingers and the comp and the different thickness of the fingers

Direct comparison of two 1 kg weights
• putting the Standard weight on the weight holder of the balance
• positioning system with two hooks
• separate controlled wind shield covering the weighing room• temperature / humidity sensor to measure the environment parameter• below the weight holder a “brake” to avoid pendulation

dissemination of mass• ) Direct comparison of the
Ir-Pt- Prototype Nr 49 with the 1 kg Steel Prototype of the BEV and 7 other 1 kg E1 weights
• ) Direct comparison of 500 g with200 g+ 200 g + 100g

Routine measurement loading the standard weight:
•Direct comparison of two sets of weights from 20 g up to 1 kg •a set of E1 weights as a standard with E2 .

The measuring instrument is a• specially adapted and modified Sartorius
CC1000S-L mass comparator• from 10 g to 1000 g maximum load • resolution of 1 µg.
• the comparator have been modified to a below weighing system and the weighing pan for weights was completely redesigned

results:
typical result of a 10 g weight:
• three ABBA sequences over three days.
• for test: the thermostatisisingprocess on the beginning ca be seen
• The repeatability / reproducibility is better than 0,2 µg;
In every system the repeatability / reproducibility of the result is in the range 0-3 digits

The main parts of the handling system up to 20 kg:•The weight carrier with the lift and the axis, •the balance, •the precentering plate, and •12 magazine places
Routine measurement:•measuring a 20-kg bar weight, a 20 kg block weight and a 10 kg bar weight (test weight);
•in the background are two 10-kg weights and two 5 kg weights (reference weight).

• Load platform with axis
(servo controlled)
• the lift moves up due to
the force of a spring
• movement: lift down and
load platform (pneumatic
controlled)
• The measuring instruments are a • Sartorius CC20000S-L (resolution 100 µg) for 20 kg and at the moment implemented a• Sartorius CC10000U-L mass comparator (resolution 10 µg) from 1 kg to 10 kg• Both mass comparators have been rebuilt for a weighing position below the mass comparator
