HBK anticipates the future of weighing with FIT5X digital load cell

HBK says the FIT5X surpasses the limitations of legacy single-point or analogue load cells, merging a sophisticated filling/dosing algorithm with a control weighing function. Manufacturers can now benefit from advanced automation and increased precision in the filling process.

Thanks to its digital inputs/outputs, the FIT5X provides intelligent interaction with triggers/actuators such as valves, paving the way for improved automated process control. This feature allows manufacturers to optimise operations, improve the consistency of finished products, and ensure maximum yield from their rotary filling/dosing machines.

As an evolution of the well-regarded FIT5A, the FIT5X brings crucial additional advantages. Its hermetically sealed construction, even in the sensing area, eliminates risks associated with external exposure, minimising contaminant accumulations and avoiding zero-point or linearity issues.

Further, the FIT5X design emphasises simplicity and reliability. The absence of complex mechanical structures exposed externally reduces the risks of errors related to contaminant accumulation. This ensures not only consistent quality of finished products but also contributes to extending the operational life of the machine.

In the context of Industry 4.0, the FIT5X stands out as the obvious choice for manufacturers of rotary filling/dosing machines looking to stay at the forefront of innovation. Its seamless integration with digital technologies, combined with its advanced features, positions manufacturers strongly to meet the changing market demands.

With its proven technology for rotary filling machines, mature filling algorithm with specialised functions, hermetically sealed construction eliminating any risk of contaminants, and free PanelX software for in-depth analysis, precise adjustment, and optimal process control, HBK says the FIT5X redefines the standards of the industrial weighing industry.
