Increased productivity via faster stabilization times (1 second in fast mode) Lower cost of ownership due to reduce number of parts and maintenance accessibility
All the innovative technologies of A&D Apollo are designed to provide functional solutions for real world problems that users face in laboratories or in factories. Now discover what they are, and what precision, protection, performance and productivity really mean to you!
Smart SHS Smart super hybrid sensor (Smart SHS) realizing wide lineup from analytical to high-resolution, high-capacity precision models
Select a balance that best suits your applications and budgets from either the GX-A series of 16 models with internal calibration function (three 0.0001 g readability models, six 0.001 g readability models, five 0.01 g readability models and two 0.1 g readability models) or the GF-A series of 18 models without internal calibration function (three 0.0001 g readability models, seven 0.001 g readability models, six 0.01 g readability models and two 0.1 g readability models).
In addition, the GX-AE series, which consists of three 0.0001 g readability models with internal calibration function, has an ionizer embedded in its breeze break for quickly eliminating static from the sample.
Analytical GX-AE series
GX-AE series (d = 0.0001 g)
Built-in fanless ionizer
Adopting A&D's original "Quick Ion" technology,* it removes static at twice the speed of the conventional ionizer (approx. 0.3 seconds** when the target object is within a distance of 10 cm) without any disturbance * Patent pending
** Subject to the ambient environment, shape of the target object and amount of static charge.
Large and detachable breeze break
The breeze break provides sufficient room for various kinds of containers/fixtures and can be easily removed for cleaning as well as use in confined space.
Retractable doors
The balance requires no extra space at the rear for accessing the weighing chamber, as the doors disappear into the back.
External IR switch
The GX-AE series comes standard with a touchless switch to activate the ionizer for a set duration
Fast stabilization
A combination of a high-stiffness, Roberval-structure spring material and an electromagnetic force restoration mechanism simultaneously realizes fast stabilization and high resolution for efficient, precise weighing. Typical stabilization time is from 1.5 to 2 seconds with the 0.0001 g readability models and 1 second with the 0.001/0.01/0.1 g readability models.*2
*2 Excludes the 1,620 g x 0.001 g and 10,200 g x 0.01 g models, with a typical stabilization time of 1.5 seconds
Long-term durability and low cost of ownership
A&D's internal experiment verified that Smart SHS withstood a durability test of 10 million repeated loadings without issue. With proper usage and care it can maintain a long and functional life. In case damage is caused, only the defective parts, not the whole unit, need to be replaced, incurring a minimal cost.
Internal weight (for the GX-AE/GX-A series)
Automatic self calibration (ASC)
To ensure accuracy all the time, the balance can be set to calibrate itself automatically using its internal weight either (1) in response to change in ambient temperature to prevent error due to sensitivity drift, (2) at a set interval time, or (3) at predetermined (up to three) times of the day. Internal calibration can also be performed any time with one key press.
Internal weight value correction
In cases such as where the internal weight value varied over time, it can be corrected either by loading an external weight whose value the balance uses as a reference or by manually inputting a correction value
ECL
Electronically controlled load (ECL) that enables precision management without using an external weight
ECL is A&D's unique technology of generating a minute load (0.3 to 3% of the balance capacity) by purposely altering the equilibrium state of the electromagnetic force restoration sensor. *Equipped with this ECL, A&D Apollo can automatically assess its precision and provide a number of valuable indexes. The entire process takes only 1.5 minutes and can be readily included in a daily check SOP. �* Patented
Adjustable response characteristics
Depending on the APA results above, you can trade weighing speed for higher display stability*5 or vice versa by selecting one of three preset response characteristics (FAST, MID or SLOW). *5 This is not to improve repeatability
Features effective for specific applications Use in production lines
The weight sensor of a high-precision balance will
be damaged in a short period if it is continuously
affected by loads with acceleration (impact shocks).
This typically occurs in factories where materials are
placed roughly by machines or thrown by operators onto balances. In addition, impact shocks can easily shift values and cause errors.
The difficulty is that even if you know the above, you may not know what degree of impact shock is safe or unsafe for the balance to take preventive measures as necessary.
ISD Impact shock detection (ISD) providing feedback to prevent damage to the weight sensorImpact-Alert - A&D Apollo visualizes the magnitudes of impact shocks that its Smart SHS receives at four levels. It beeps once at Level 3 and twice at Level 4 (both of which should be avoided). Shock-Log
While the power is on, up to 50 impacts of Level 3 and Level 4 will be stored in the balance with timestamp (and log-in user information when the password lock function is used). Data will then be overwritten in order from the weakest impact. This function is especially beneficial for quality managers as it enables them to check and show how the balance had been treated when returned for repair
Cushioning and overload protection mechanism
The two leaf springs (or one cruciform spring for the 0.0001 g readability models) that support the weighing pan mitigate impact shocks significantly. Meanwhile, Smart SHS is well protected against vertical and transverse static overloading. It won't break due to malfunction of the weighing system's actuator and the resulting excess load. A&D's testing demonstrated that even a human did no damage to the balance by stepping on it.
Flow rate measurement
Flow rate is determined from the weight variation that occurs during a given interval. Many operators time this interval by using a stopwatch. Besides being troublesome and error-prone, this method does not allow precise recording of flow rates that vary from moment to moment because the interval used to divide the weight variation (calculation time) is too long
Alternatively, a PC can be connected to the balance to take the weighing data and perform the calculation. This method enables measurement to be more responsive to flow rate changes by shortening the calculation time. However, due to the syncing problems that inevitably occur between the internal clocks of the balance and the PC, the timing at which the balance receives the command from the PC to send the weight value and its display refresh cycle gradually go out of alignment. In consequence, the PC intermittently produces irregular values even when the actual flow rate is constant.
