Overview
The Unicise Hanqing Series Industrial Balance is an electromagnetic force compensation (EMFC) balance engineered for high-throughput industrial environments where precision, durability, and system integration are critical. Leveraging the proprietary Uni-Block monolithic load cell architecture, the series eliminates mechanical hysteresis and thermal drift commonly associated with traditional strain-gauge platforms—delivering consistent repeatability and linearity across wide temperature and vibration gradients. Designed specifically for factory-floor deployment, each model operates on a rigid aluminum alloy chassis with corrosion-resistant stainless steel weighing pans, supporting continuous operation in ambient conditions ranging from 10 °C to 40 °C and relative humidity up to 80% non-condensing. The EMFC principle ensures zero-mechanical-wear operation, eliminating periodic recalibration due to sensor fatigue—a key reliability advantage over load-cell-based alternatives in 24/7 production settings.
Key Features
- Uni-Block Monolithic Sensor: Single-piece electromagnetic transducer architecture minimizes thermal expansion mismatch and improves long-term stability under dynamic loading conditions.
- Modular Physical Design: Detachable full-color capacitive touchscreen display enables flexible mounting—ideal for embedded line integration, wall mounting, or benchtop use with cable lengths up to 2 m.
- Ruggedized Construction: IP42-rated enclosure with reinforced aluminum base and standard 304 stainless steel pan; optional all-stainless-steel platform available for washdown or corrosive chemical exposure zones.
- Dual-Interface Connectivity: Simultaneous RS-232 (DB9) and USB Type-C ports support legacy PLC integration and modern host PC communication without protocol conversion hardware.
- Onboard Application Suite: Twelve validated weighing routines—including parts counting, dynamic checkweighing with configurable tolerance bands, density calculation (using auxiliary mass reference), and peak-hold mode for transient load capture.
- Secure Data Handling: Password-protected configuration access and user-level permission control ensure compliance with internal SOPs and audit-ready operational traceability.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The Hanqing Series accommodates bulk solids, packaged goods, metal components, and intermediate chemical batches—supporting container tare weights up to 90% of full capacity without compromising resolution. Its electromagnetic design inherently rejects electrostatic interference and is insensitive to minor floor vibrations typical in conveyor-fed stations. While not certified to OIML R76 or NTEP for legal-for-trade applications, the balance meets ISO 9001 calibration traceability requirements when used with NIST-traceable external weights. It supports GLP/GMP-aligned workflows through timestamped data logging (via optional software), audit trail generation, and user authentication—facilitating alignment with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 principles when deployed with compliant host systems.
Software & Data Management
Data export is natively supported via ASCII-formatted RS-232 streaming or USB virtual COM port emulation, compatible with common SCADA platforms (e.g., Siemens WinCC, Rockwell FactoryTalk), MES databases (including SAP EWM), and custom Python/LabVIEW acquisition scripts. Optional Unicise Link software provides real-time graphing, batch report generation (PDF/CSV), and configurable auto-save triggers based on weight stabilization or time interval. All firmware updates are delivered as signed binary packages verified via SHA-256 checksum to prevent unauthorized modification—ensuring integrity in regulated manufacturing contexts.
Applications
- Automated ingredient dispensing in food and pharmaceutical blending lines
- In-process checkweighing for packaged consumer goods prior to case packing
- High-speed parts counting in electronics assembly and automotive component staging
- Density verification of polymer granules or metal powders using Archimedes’ principle
- Batch reconciliation in chemical formulation where gross/net weight tracking is required
- Mobile quality audits using battery-powered operation (5 V DC via portable power bank)
FAQ
Is this balance suitable for legal-for-trade use?
No—this series is designed for industrial process control and internal quality assurance, not statutory metrology. For trade-approved applications, consult Unicise’s OIML-certified product line.
What external calibration weights are required?
Calibration must be performed using Class M2 or better weights traceable to national standards; minimum test weight equals 5% of full scale per ISO 8654-1.
Can the touchscreen be operated with gloves?
Yes—the capacitive display supports operation with standard cotton or synthetic work gloves, though stylus use is recommended for fine menu navigation.
Does it support Modbus RTU or Ethernet/IP?
No native industrial Ethernet protocols are built-in; however, third-party RS-232-to-Modbus gateways can be deployed with full protocol transparency.
How is firmware updated?
Via USB Type-C connection using Unicise Link software—no disassembly or service technician required.
