Entry-Level Checkweigher Gets State-Of-The-Art Displays

Chicago - Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed Checkweigher has replaced its entry-level A-Series checkweigher with the new XC3, adding new displays to an industry standard production platform for basic process quality control. The machine has the IP 54 capability, compact size, three belt design, and robust construction that made the A-Series the industry leader in its category. The new displays are also available as upgrades to existing Hi-Speed machines.

New Displays Increase Productivity
The XC3's 5.7-inch QVGA touchscreen dashboard-style display provides intuitive, menu-driven access to basic checkweigher functions. Familiar, browser-like navigation gives users fast access to important controls and read-outs, while allowing them to drill down easily into machine and line performance measures and statistics. The vivid display has brightness and contrast controls for low-light visibility.

The touchscreen provides eleven unique control areas; touchable "buttons" leading to more information. "For instance, there is a seven-to-eight line 'message center' at the bottom of the main screen that scrolls short reports about machine status, fault events, and errors," said Mark Feher, Hi-Speed business development manager, checkweighers. "Touching that takes users to a full-screen view where they can see every event with the time it occurred. This makes trouble-shooting much easier." Similarly, line changeovers require only three taps on the screen, shortening downtime.
