Innovative filter weighing solution for emissions testing

July 28, 2011 - PRLog -- The robot-assisted filter weighing system, which incorporates an Excellence Balance equipped with a Filter Weighing Kit, guarantees fast and precise determination of particulate matter on filters at an accuracy of up to 0.1 µg. The system also complies with all present and upcoming EU and US standards for emissions determination.

Fast filter handling
The robot's fully automatic process can weigh up to 80 filters in just 80 minutes, which includes a constant acclimatization time. METTLER TOLEDO's innovative filter holder allows acclimatization, storage, transport and weighing to be carried out without having to remove the filter or endure any other interruptions.

Secure data management
The Windows-based FilterControl software complements the automatic weighing process to provide a fast and secure solution. A barcode scanner simplifies filter identification and facilitates easy integration of the data into higher-level software systems.

The F-A770 in-use
Tognum, one of the world's leading suppliers of engines, complete propulsion systems and power solutions, is already using the F-A770 Filter Robot at its subsidiary company MTU Friedrichshafen to determine particulate emissions. According to the company the F-A770 provides fast measurements and analyses.

Automotive Testing Expo 2011 - Stand 1144
METTLER TOLEDO will be exhibiting the F-A770 Filter Weighing Robot on Stand 1144 at the Automotive Testing Expo 2011 in Stuttgart, Germany from 17 to 19 May 2011. METTLER TOLEDO will display a range of innovative solutions for filter weighing, with the focus clearly on the F-A770.
