Mettler Toledo Excellence XA precision balances

Controlling coating processes in harsh environments require high-precision weighing. Excellence XA precision balances meet these demands.

Determining the mass of precious coatings requires a high level of accuracy. Each part is weighed before and after the coating process and the mass of the layer is calculated as the difference. XA balances can be connected to a PC using the Direct Balance software package, therefore facilitating calculations on an Excel spreadsheet. The XA line also features analytical balances which offer a higher level of accuracy required for more demanding R&D applications.

Apart from supporting a coating process, XA balances are suitable for various counting applications. Producers of small components need to count the number of parts in order to portion them prior to packaging. The high-precision XA503 balance can be used as a reference to determine the individual weight of one component. The bulk quantity of parts is then placed onto the high-capacity XA32001L balance where the weight is expressed as the total number of parts on the weighing pan.

A dedicated piece counting application is built in to the XA firmware to accommodate reference weighing and statistics. Shortcuts can be defined on the balance’s touch screen to simplify daily operation. Traceability is ensured through easy identification entry via the balance alphanumeric touchpad or a bar code reader and a printer connected to the balance by means of the RS232 or Bluetooth interfaces. For higher flexibility, or for networking, the weighing platforms (eg, X404DR and X64001L) can be connected to Mettler Toledo Ind terminals.
