Overview
The OHAUS Defender 5000 Series Heavy-Duty Platform Scale DF52XW1500WRLZH 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 mechanical architecture and compliant with international metrological standards, this platform scale employs load cell-based force transduction to deliver stable, repeatable weight measurements under dynamic and static loading conditions. Its low-profile 90 mm deck-to-floor height facilitates seamless integration into conveyor lines, pallet handling workflows, and floor-level material staging zones. Designed for continuous operation in harsh industrial settings—including humid, dusty, or washdown-prone areas—the DF52XW1500WRLZH meets OIML R60 accuracy class C3 (or optional C4) and integrates certified load cells with traceable calibration documentation, supporting regulatory adherence in ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 17025, and GMP-aligned manufacturing facilities.
Key Features
- Structural integrity: 6 mm checkered steel or stainless steel weighing deck (8 mm for 5-ton variants); U-shaped subframe fabricated from 4 mm cold-rolled steel or AISI 304 stainless steel, validated through 500,000 full-scale fatigue cycles per OIML R76 test protocols
- High-reliability sensing: Four OIML R60-certified alloy steel load cells (IP67 ingress protection); stainless steel variants feature hermetically sealed IP68 welded sensors with laser-welded housings
- Environmental resilience: IP65-rated all-stainless steel junction box; optional IP67/IP68 enclosure upgrades available for extended washdown compatibility
- Low-profile ergonomics: 90 mm deck height minimizes ramp requirements and reduces operator lifting effort during manual pallet placement
- Modular connectivity: Standard RS232 interface for direct connection to label printers, PCs, or PLCs; optional expansion modules support Bluetooth 5.0, dual RS232/RS485, USB-C, Ethernet (TCP/IP), 4–20 mA / 0–10 V analog outputs, and configurable 2-in/4-out digital I/O for process automation integration
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The DF52XW1500WRLZH accommodates standard Euro pallets (1200 × 800 mm), industrial skids, and bulk containers up to its rated capacity (1500 kg). Its rigid deck geometry ensures minimal deflection under off-center loading, maintaining measurement linearity across ≥80% of the active surface area. All structural materials comply with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Load cell certifications conform to OIML R60 Edition 2000 (Class C3/C4), and the scale’s overall type approval aligns with EN 45501:2015 for non-automatic weighing instruments. Optional factory calibration includes NIST-traceable certificates with uncertainty budgets reported per ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Annex A.5.
Software & Data Management
The integrated indicator supports embedded firmware-driven applications—including static weighing, checkweighing (with configurable high/low/tolerance bands), parts counting (using sample-weight averaging), percentage weighing, and dynamic hold mode for unstable loads. Data logging is enabled via internal memory (up to 1,000 records) or external storage when paired with RS232-connected PCs running OHAUS LoggerPro™ or third-party SCADA-compatible software. Audit trail functionality—including user login timestamps, parameter change logs, and calibration event records—is available with optional firmware upgrade to meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic records and signatures in regulated industries.
Applications
This platform scale serves critical functions across multiple sectors: incoming raw material verification in food processing plants; batch reconciliation and filling validation in pharmaceutical manufacturing; outbound pallet auditing in e-commerce distribution centers; scrap metal sorting and recycling yard inventory control; and agricultural commodity grading at grain elevators. Its ruggedized construction and environmental sealing make it suitable for outdoor deployment under covered loading docks, while its analog and digital I/O options enable direct interfacing with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for automated gate control, conveyor stop/start logic, or reject bin actuation in inline quality assurance systems.
FAQ
What accuracy class does the DF52XW1500WRLZH meet per OIML R60?
It complies with OIML R60 Class C3 for general industrial use; C4 configuration is available upon request for higher-precision applications.
Is the scale compatible with ERP or MES systems?
Yes—via optional Ethernet or RS485 interfaces using Modbus RTU/TCP or ASCII protocols, enabling bidirectional data exchange with SAP, Oracle, or custom MES platforms.
Can the indicator display units be customized for non-metric applications?
Yes—user-selectable units include kg, lb, oz, g, ct, and custom-defined engineering units (e.g., “bags”, “units”) with programmable tare offsets.
Does the scale support GLP/GMP-compliant calibration documentation?
Factory calibration includes ISO/IEC 17025-accredited certificate; on-site recalibration services with full traceability and audit-ready reports are available through OHAUS Authorized Service Centers.
Are mounting brackets or ramps included as standard equipment?
No—ramps, mobile stands, and anchor kits are optional accessories, selected based on site-specific installation requirements and floor-loading constraints.
