High-speed & High-accuracy Weighing
High Performance Digital Filter (HPDF)
Effectively eliminates vibrations for stable and accurate weighing,
even in harsh environments. Reduces the need for mechanical anti-vibration measures,
cutting costs and maintenance.
High-Speed Sampling
1200 times/second sampling rate enables fast and accurate measurements,
especially when combined with HPDF
Easy HPDF Tuning
Use the free WinCT-AD4421 software to visually adjust filter strength and response speed.
Advanced Weighing Functions
Filling & Dosing Modes
Four modes for hopper and packer scales: simple and sequential filling/dosing
Checkweighing Mode
Classifies products by weight using comparator outputs (up to 5 levels)
Automatic Accumulation
Automatically totals net weights; can exclude over/underweight values
100-code Memory
Stores up to 100 sets of comparison groups (for filling and dosing modes)
and accumulation results
Supplemental Filling
Automatically adds small amounts if the target weight is not reached
in filling and dosing modes
