Weight sorter and Combination scale software instructions

Weight sorter and Combination scale software instructions for Qingdao Aikson machinery Co,. 株式会社.

The weight sorting machine not only has the function of classification, but also can be switched to the target combination scale function with just one click.

Software Integration Key Points

1. Unified Interface: Configure, monitor, and control all parameters for both modes (target weight, tolerance, number of heads, rejection method, speed settings) on a single HMI screen.

2. Easy Mode Switching: Intuitive “Sorting Mode” そして “Combination Mode” buttons on the touchscreen. Operators switch the entire system mode with one tap.

3. Parameter Group (Recipe) Management: Save separate parameter sets (recipes) for different products and modes. Switching modes or products automatically loads the correct recipe, saving setup time.

4. Integrated Data & Analysis:

   • で Combination Mode, each sorting bin provides weight data. This data is used to:

   • Verify combination weigher accuracy and performance.

   • Generate comprehensive combination reports (showing target & final check weights).

   • で Sorting Mode, the combination weigher can standby or be cleaned. System resources focus solely on sorting.

5. Smart Coordination: Software ensures smooth transitions during mode switches, preventing jams or malfunctions in material flow and equipment (like rejectors).

Key Benefits of the Integrated System

1. 柔軟性 & 多用途性:

   • Core Advantage: Achieve “one machine, two uses” または “one line, two uses”. The same hardware and controls switch between high-speed weight checking and high-speed combination weighing via software.

   • Wide Application: Ideal for factories making diverse products or with frequent specification changes. Example: One line handles bulk snacks (combination weighing) and pre-packaged sauces (weight checking) – no need for two separate lines or physical reconfiguration. Maximizes line utilization.

2. Space & Cost Savings:

   • Shared frame, main unit, controls, and HMI take up less space than two separate machines.

   • Reduces upfront investment and ongoing maintenance costs (fewer spare parts, less labor).

3. Improved Weight Accuracy & コンプライアンス:

   • で Combination Mode, the weight checker acts as a “final inspection station”. It double-checks the total packed weight and rejects failures. This double safeguard ensures 100% compliance with regulations, minimizes giveaway, and prevents underweight customer complaints. The combination weigher focuses on accuracy; the weight checker ensures final compliance.

4. Powerful Data Tracking & Analysis:

   • The integrated system captures weight data throughout the process:

     • Combination Mode: Hopper weights, combination calculations, target weight, final check weight, pass/fail result.

     • Sorting Mode: Individual item weight, pass/fail status.

   • A unified data platform enables deeper production analysis, equipment performance checks (例えば, weigher stability), cost calculation (material loss), and quality traceability.

5. Higher Automation & Intelligence:

   • Central control ensures seamless coordination with minimal manual input.

   • Recipe management and one-tap switching automate product changeovers.

   • Combined data supports predictive maintenance and process optimization.

6. Simpler Operation & メンテナンス:

   • Operators learn only one system interface.

   • Maintenance is easier with one integrated system (despite dual functions), simplifying spare parts and troubleshooting.

Seamless Function Switching

• “Seamless Switching” Meaning: Operators can easily switch the entire line (or station) between “Weight Checking” そして “Combination Weighing” modes via software, based on production needs. Simply select the target mode on the HMI and confirm. The system automatically handles internal setup (enabling/disabling modules, loading recipes, adjusting logic).

• Requirements:

  • A powerful integrated control system.

  • Clear material path design to prevent jams or cross-contamination (especially food).

  • Reliable switching logic software.

  • Brief downtime may be needed for switching and cleaning (especially when changing products).

Summary

The integrated Weight Checker and Combination Weigher system uses deep hardware synergy and smart software to create a highly flexible, intelligent weighing solution. Its core value is:

1. Switchable Functions: Easily toggle between core weight checking and combination weighing functions on one platform (“one-tap switching”) for diverse production needs.

2. Double Safeguard Accuracy: In combination mode, the weight checker provides final weight assurance.

3. 効率 & Cost Savings: Saves space, lowers investment and maintenance costs, and boosts line utilization.

4. Deep Data Integration: Provides a complete production weight data chain for quality control and optimization.

This integrated solution is ideal for modern production lines with diverse products, frequent changes, high weight accuracy/compliance demands, and a focus on flexibility and ROI.
