Product Information
Explorer™ High Capacity Precision Balance – Engineered for Heavy-Duty Laboratory Applications
The Ohaus Explorer High Capacity series delivers reliable precision weighing for demanding applications requiring capacities up to 35kg. Combining 0.1g readability with robust construction and intelligent automation, these balances are engineered for industrial laboratories, quality control environments, and production facilities where heavy loads demand accurate measurement.
Intuitive Operation and Rapid Performance
AutoCal™ automatic calibration ensures measurement accuracy without manual intervention, whilst rapid stabilisation time of just 1 second maximises throughput in high-volume workflows. The user-friendly interface mirrors the standard Explorer series, providing familiar operation for laboratory personnel.
Modular Design for Flexible Workspaces
Customise your workspace with the detachable 5.7-inch colour VGA touchscreen, which can be positioned up to 5 feet (1.5 metres) from the base using the included 9-metre cable. This modular design allows ergonomic positioning in confined spaces or integration into process control stations.
Superior Protection for Rugged Environments
Die-cast metal base and stainless steel pan ensure durability in demanding industrial environments. 2-D Protection safeguards against shocks and damage from heavy loads, whilst the IP54-rated base enclosure protects against debris, humidity, and spills. This robust construction extends service life and reduces maintenance requirements in challenging conditions.
Enhanced Connectivity
Multiple communication options including RS232, USB, and optional Ethernet enable seamless integration with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), process control equipment, and data logging systems. Straightforward connectivity supports automated workflows and regulatory compliance documentation.
High Capacity Accessories
Expand functionality with optional adjustable rolling feet for easy repositioning, rechargeable battery providing up to 10 hours of cordless operation for mobile weighing stations, and weigh-below hook for density determination of large samples.
Comprehensive Application Modes
Thirteen built-in application modes support diverse laboratory requirements:
- Weighing: Standard weight determination in selectable units
- Parts Counting: Count uniform pieces by average weight
- Percent Weighing: Display sample weight as percentage of reference
- Check Weighing: Compare samples against target limits with visual indicators
- Animal/Dynamic Weighing: Average weights over time for unstable loads
- Filling: Progress bar displays filling status to target weight
- Totalisation/Statistics: Cumulative weighing beyond balance capacity
- Formulation: Recipe compounding with 2–99 components
- Differential Weighing: Calculate net weight changes between measurements
- Density Determination: Measure density of solids and liquids
- Peak Hold: Capture and store maximum weight in a series
- Ingredient Costing: Calculate formula costs based on component pricing
- SQC: Statistical quality control to monitor process variation
