Overview
The OHAUS Defender 5000 Series Heavy-Duty Platform Scale DF52XW1500WSRZH 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 fully welded stainless steel sheeting, while the U-shaped undercarriage is formed from 4 mm thick stamped steel or stainless steel—validated through 500,000 full-scale fatigue cycles per OIML R60-compliant testing protocols. Designed for continuous operation in harsh ambient conditions, the DF52XW1500WSRZH delivers stable, repeatable measurements across its rated capacity range, supporting both static and dynamic industrial weighing workflows.
Key Features
- Load cell system: Four OIML R60-certified alloy steel load cells (IP67-rated); stainless steel variant equipped with hermetically sealed IP68 stainless steel load cells
- Enclosure rating: IP65-rated all-stainless-steel junction box as standard; optional IP67/IP68-rated components available for enhanced environmental protection
- Mechanical design: Dual-layer reinforced frame with integrated U-channel base structure; ultra-low 90 mm deck-to-floor height for seamless integration with pallet jacks and conveyors
- Platform surface: 6 mm checkered steel or 304 stainless steel plate (8 mm for higher-capacity models), providing optimal traction and corrosion resistance
- Structural validation: Certified for 500,000 full-load fatigue cycles under controlled laboratory conditions per ISO 376 and OIML R60 guidelines
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The DF52XW1500WSRZH accommodates a broad spectrum of industrial payloads—from palletized goods and bulk containers to machinery components and raw material batches—without compromising accuracy or mechanical integrity. Its modular construction supports both fixed floor mounting and mobile configurations via optional ramps or castor-mounted support stands. The scale complies with international metrological standards including OIML R60 (for load cell performance), NTEP Class III (in applicable configurations), and meets CE marking requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC Directive 2014/30/EU) and low-voltage safety (LVD Directive 2014/35/EU). For regulated industries, the device supports audit-ready data logging when paired with compliant software solutions adhering to FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and GLP/GMP traceability principles.
Software & Data Management
Standard RS232 serial interface enables direct connection to PCs, label printers, or PLCs for real-time weight capture and basic data export. Optional communication modules expand connectivity to include Bluetooth 5.0, dual RS232/RS485, USB host/device, or Ethernet (TCP/IP) for networked deployment within MES or ERP ecosystems. Analog I/O options (4–20 mA / 0–10 VDC) and digital I/O (2-in / 4-out) allow seamless integration with programmable logic controllers for automated batching, filling, or reject sorting systems. Firmware supports configurable tare, preset weight thresholds, and event-triggered outputs—all accessible via intuitive front-panel navigation or remote configuration tools compatible with Windows-based OHAUS Scale Software Suite.
Applications
- Warehouse receiving and dispatch verification with palletized SKUs
- In-line production line checkweighing for food, pharmaceutical, and chemical packaging
- Raw material inventory management in metal fabrication and agriculture processing facilities
- Dynamic weighing of moving loads on roller conveyors or lift trucks
- Batch counting of uniform parts using calibrated piece-weight algorithms
- Percentage weighing for formulation and blending operations in R&D and pilot-scale manufacturing
FAQ
