Overview
The OHAUS Defender 5000 Series Heavy-Duty Platform Scale DF52XW1500WLZH is an industrial-grade weighing solution engineered for precision, durability, and long-term reliability in demanding production, logistics, and quality control environments. Built upon a robust dual-layer structural architecture with a low-profile 90 mm ground clearance, this platform scale integrates high-strength carbon steel or stainless steel construction throughout its load-bearing framework. The weighing platform features either 6 mm (or 8 mm for 5-ton variants) checkered steel plate or polished stainless steel, while the U-shaped subframe is formed from 4 mm thick stamped steel or stainless steel—validated through 500,000 full-capacity fatigue cycles per OIML R76-1 compliance protocols. Designed for static and dynamic industrial weighing tasks—including palletized goods, raw material intake, and finished product verification—the DF52XW1500WLZH delivers stable, repeatable results under variable environmental conditions typical of factory floors, warehouses, and outdoor loading docks.
Key Features
- Structural integrity validated to 500,000 full-scale load cycles per ISO 376 and OIML R76-1 mechanical endurance requirements
- Four high-reliability alloy steel load cells compliant with OIML R60 C3 or C4 accuracy class; stainless steel variants feature hermetically sealed IP68-rated welded sensors
- IP65-rated all-stainless-steel junction box with corrosion-resistant terminals and sealed conduit entries
- Low-profile 90 mm deck height enables seamless integration with pallet jacks and forklifts without ramp dependency
- Dual-material construction options: carbon steel frame with checkered plate deck (standard), or fully stainless steel frame and deck (for washdown or corrosive environments)
- Integrated overload protection and shock-absorbing mounting system to mitigate impact-induced measurement drift
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The DF52XW1500WLZH accommodates a broad range of industrial samples—from standard shipping pallets (up to 1500 kg capacity) to irregularly shaped bulk containers and tote bins. Its rigid platform geometry ensures minimal deflection across the entire weighing surface, supporting accurate center-of-gravity-insensitive measurements. The scale complies with international metrological standards including OIML R76-1 (non-automatic weighing instruments), NTEP Certificate of Conformance (Class III, for commercial use in North America), and meets CE marking requirements under the EU Measuring Instruments Directive (MID 2014/32/EU). For regulated industries, optional firmware supports audit-trail-enabled operation aligned with GLP and GMP documentation practices, and hardware-level security features facilitate FDA 21 CFR Part 11 readiness when paired with compliant software systems.
Software & Data Management
Standard RS232 serial interface enables direct connection to PCs, label printers, or PLCs for real-time data capture and automated recordkeeping. Optional communication modules expand connectivity to industrial networks: RS485 (Modbus RTU), Ethernet (TCP/IP), Bluetooth 5.0, or Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n) for cloud-integrated MES/ERP synchronization. Analog I/O (4–20 mA / 0–10 VDC) and digital I/O (2-in / 4-out) support process automation—e.g., triggering conveyors, gates, or reject mechanisms based on weight thresholds. OHAUS ACSS (Advanced Communication Software Suite) provides configurable data logging, CSV export, calibration history tracking, and user-access-level management—fully compatible with Windows-based laboratory and manufacturing IT infrastructures.
Applications
- Raw material receipt inspection and inventory reconciliation in food processing, chemical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing
- In-line checkweighing for packaged goods prior to case packing or palletizing
- Dynamic weighing of moving loads on roller conveyors (with optional hold-and-display function)
- Parts counting in automotive and electronics assembly lines using calibrated unit weight reference
- Percentage weighing for formulation and batching operations requiring ratio-based mass inputs
- Warehouse receiving, cross-docking, and outbound shipment verification per ISO 9001 clause 8.5.2
FAQ
What is the maximum permissible error (MPE) for this scale under OIML R76-1?
Per OIML R76-1 Class III requirements, MPE is ±0.5e for loads ≤500e, ±1.0e for loads >500e to 2000e, and ±1.5e for loads >2000e, where ‘e’ denotes verification scale interval.
Can the DF52XW1500WLZH be integrated into a SCADA system?
Yes—via optional RS485 Modbus RTU or Ethernet TCP/IP module, enabling bidirectional communication with supervisory control systems for real-time weight streaming and remote parameter configuration.
Is calibration traceability available for regulatory audits?
Yes—OHAUS provides NIST-traceable calibration certificates upon request, and internal calibration routines support documented adjustment logs with operator ID and timestamp metadata.
What environmental protections does the stainless steel variant offer?
The fully stainless steel model features IP68-rated load cells, IP65-rated indicator housing, and electropolished surfaces meeting ISO 14644-1 Class 8 cleanroom compatibility for light-duty hygienic applications.
Does the scale support automatic tare and preset tare values?
Yes—supports manual tare, auto-tare on stabilization, and up to 99 programmable preset tare values for rapid container or fixture compensation.
