Examples of compact systems used in
MRC
’s products
Example of compact system: 1 – balance series APP; balance series AS
The results achieved in
MRC
after the introduction of compact system with the following
balances: analytical balances series AS with the resolution of 3 mln divisions (d=0.1mg), precision
balances (d=0,1mg) and precision balances series APP with 800 thousand divisions (d=0,01g) have
finally confirmed the purposefulness of the selected direction of development. The same quality as
monoblocks, with lower implementation and more importantly, lower production costs, has been attained.
Servicing of monoblocks and compact systems
Additional significant advantage of the solution currently offered by
MRC
is solving servicing
problems. Damages caused as a result of balance overload, transport shock, or destructive activity of
weighing environment, in the case of monoblock, requires replacing the whole balance as servicing
means assembling a completely new mechanism.
In the version with compact system servicing is much easier than with traditional mechanism, as
only a complete unit of measuring lever is replaced and the exchange is carried out without breaking the
structure of weighing unit i.e. actuator and A/C converter, therefore the temperature parameters remain
intact. Only non-centricity and linearity correction requires adjusting. The cost of a single lever is
obviously, much lower that the cost of the complete monoblock mechanism, which is reflected in the
general cost and the cost of servicing.
Another significant factor is ecology. During the production process of monoblock, especially
with older solutions of monoblocks, there is much more output material processed through machining
with scobs requiring utilization.
There is significantly less waste material with casting technologies which predominate in compact
system.
