Overview
The OHAUS Defender 5000 Series Heavy-Duty Platform Scale DF52XW600WSZH is an industrial-grade weighing system engineered for precision, durability, and operational reliability in demanding production, logistics, and quality control environments. Built upon a robust dual-layer structural architecture, this platform scale employs load cell-based force measurement technology compliant with OIML R60 accuracy class C3 (or higher, depending on configuration), ensuring high reproducibility and long-term stability under repeated full-scale loading cycles. Its ultra-low profile—just 90 mm from platform surface to floor—minimizes ramp requirements and enhances ergonomic material handling. Designed for integration into automated workflows, the DF52XW600WSZH supports both static and dynamic weighing tasks across manufacturing, warehousing, agriculture, and recycling applications where ruggedness and regulatory traceability are critical.
Key Features
- Structural integrity validated through 500,000 full-capacity fatigue cycles per OIML-compliant test protocols
- Heavy-duty platform constructed from 6 mm checkered steel or stainless steel plate (8 mm for 5-ton configurations); U-shaped base frame formed from 4 mm cold-rolled steel or AISI 304 stainless steel
- Four high-stability alloy steel load cells rated to OIML R60 C3; stainless steel variants feature hermetically sealed IP68 welded sensors
- IP65-rated all-stainless-steel junction box with corrosion-resistant terminals and environmental sealing
- Low-profile design (90 mm platform-to-floor height) enabling seamless integration with pallet jacks, forklifts, and conveyors
- Modular interface architecture supporting multiple communication and control options without hardware modification
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The DF52XW600WSZH accommodates standard industrial containers, pallets, drums, and bulk loads up to its rated capacity (model-specific). Its mechanical design complies with ISO 7500-1 for static force measurement accuracy and meets IP67 ingress protection (platform surface) and IP65 (electronics enclosure) per IEC 60529. Load cells conform to OIML R60 Class C3 metrological requirements, supporting legal-for-trade use where certified by national metrology institutes. The scale’s construction materials—carbon steel with epoxy coating or full AISI 304 stainless steel—meet food-grade (EHEDG Category A) and washdown-ready specifications. All firmware and calibration procedures adhere to GLP/GMP documentation standards, with optional audit trail logging available via compatible software.
Software & Data Management
The scale features embedded firmware supporting RS232 as standard for direct connection to PCs, label printers, or PLCs. Optional interfaces include Bluetooth 5.0, dual RS232/RS485, USB host/device, Ethernet (TCP/IP), and analog I/O (4–20 mA / 0–10 VDC) or digital I/O (2-in / 4-out) for external device triggering. When connected to OHAUS ACIS™ or third-party MES/ERP systems, it enables real-time weight data capture, batch logging, and configurable pass/fail thresholds for checkweighing. Firmware supports user-defined tare memory, auto-zero tracking, and programmable filter settings to suppress vibration-induced noise. Calibration records—including date, operator ID, standard mass used, and deviation values—are stored internally and exportable in CSV format for 21 CFR Part 11-compliant audit trails when paired with validated software.
Applications
- Production line checkweighing and fill-level verification in pharmaceutical, food, and chemical packaging
- Incoming/outgoing goods receiving and inventory reconciliation in distribution centers
- Batch formulation and raw material dispensing in agricultural feed mills and fertilizer plants
- Scrap metal and recyclables sorting with dynamic weighing and accumulation functions
- Quality assurance testing requiring repeatable static load verification per ASTM E4, ISO 376, or USP <41>
- Integration into conveyor-based sorting systems via I/O-triggered reject logic
FAQ
Is the DF52XW600WSZH certified for legal-for-trade use?
Yes—when equipped with OIML R60 C3 load cells and calibrated by an accredited body, it supports trade-approved applications in jurisdictions recognizing OIML certification.
Can the scale operate in wet or outdoor environments?
The stainless steel variant with IP68 load cells and IP67-rated platform meets NEMA 4X and IEC 60529 requirements for temporary water immersion and dust resistance.
What calibration standards are required?
Class F1 or better stainless steel test weights per OIML R111 are recommended; internal calibration may be supported depending on firmware version and regional regulatory acceptance.
Does the scale support remote diagnostics or firmware updates?
Firmware updates are performed locally via USB or RS232; remote diagnostics require integration with a networked gateway and OHAUS ACIS™ server infrastructure.
Are mounting kits or ramps included?
No—ramps, mobile stands, and floor anchors are optional accessories selected based on site-specific installation requirements and load transfer geometry.
