M_one and M_10 Vacuum Mass Comparators

The Reference in Vacuum Weighing Technology

Vacuum comparators are used by National Metrology Institutes to improve their measurement accuracy by performing mass determination at constant pressure or vacuum.  

The METTLER TOLEDO M_one and M_10 are designed for various artefacts with results accurate to within 100 nanograms, whilst offering unique flexibility features.

1. Reference of Mass Determination
   METTLER TOLEDO’s M_one mass comparator  sets a new benchmark in the field of ultra-high precision weighing. Masses can be determined with an accuracy of 100 nanograms, a proven typical repeatability of 300 nanograms and a result data comparison of 10 nanograms.
2. Contamination-free Transfer
   The Load Lock system with its Artefact Transfer Device (ATD) enables a contamination-free loading process of weights or artefacts from their ASTV  to the M_one without interrupting the controlled environment of the weighing chamber. The vacuum oomparators pumping system creates controlled measuring conditions from ambient pressure down to 10^–6 mbar.
3. Continuously Stable
   The unique Artefact Storage & Transport Vessel (ASTV) ensures objects are always kept in the stable conditions of a vacuum or inert gas and prevents contamination from the surroundings.
4. Compatible with Different Shaped Artefacts
   Thanks to the unique STAR-shaped weighing pan, the M_one may hold OIML weights from 1 mg up 1 kg. In addition silicon spheres up to 100 mm in diameter or density artefacts can be placed directly on the weighing pan.
5. Direct Access
   The user places weights directly on the vacuum comparators turntable through the large quick-loading door. Besides visually monitoring your loading process, the ergonomic design allows direct access to the weight handler without lifting the entire pressure enclosure.
6. Modular Design
   The M_one system, Load-Lock, artefact transfer module and vacuum systems are designed on the basis of a modular concept. Regardless of the initial configuration, this offers the option of expanding the system as the applications demand and the budget permits.
7. Automated Gravimetric Centering (AGC) of Weights
   The AGC positions all types of artefacts exactly in their gravimetric center before measuring. This reduces eccentricity error to a minimum and ensures the highest possible repeatability of measurements.
8. Worldwide Comparison by Eliminating Environmental Dependency
   National Metrology Institutes can mutually compare their standards using the M_one and M_10 in combination with the optional Klimet A30V. The Klimet A30V measures all environmental parameters at highest accuracy to determine air density for compensation of air buoyancy influences.
9. M_Control Software and Optional Efficiency Pack
   Completely control your mass calibration processes with vacuum comparators M_Control software. Use the optional Efficiency Pack for increased measurement accuracy by post-processing of air buoyancy.

Automated Mass Comparators

Automated Solutions for Mass Determination

Automated mass comparators solutions like AX automated weighing systems meet the highest accuracy requirements – up to 0.1 μg resolution and capacities of up to 64 kg. Errors are eliminated due to software-controlled automatic operation of the 4-place weight handlers. Measurement data is securely stored and handling effort minimized.

1. Unrivaled Accuracy
   AX automatic mass comparators achieve nano-accuracy through fully-automatic processes, centering aids, and a unique design. The balance determines the mass of weights by using the 4-position turntable.
2. Eliminate Errors – Automatic Weight Handling
   Human error is eliminated due to fully automatic operation of the 4-place weight handlers controlled by Windows®-based software. Automated mass comparators measurement data is securely stored and handling effort reduced.
3. Continuous Weighing Ranges
   The clever continuous range technology enables use of the entire 64 kg range in 0.0001 g steps. This makes it the ideal solution for measuring non-metric weights, pressure discs for force measurements, gas capsules or small bottles.Get a Quote
4. Direct Weight Dissemination
   The automated mass comparators AX line increases efficiency by placing several weights on the turntable for each weighing position. This enables you to calibrate the weight decade 1 kg – 64 kg by dissemination without the aid of disc weights. AX1006 and AX10005 offer dissemination with disc weights.
5. Software Controlled
   The Windows® based software controls all your weighing jobs, which can be imported directly from a LIMS. Autostart several jobs in a row and calculate air buoyancy. Results are exportable to a database, giving you full traceability at a keystroke.
6. Environmental Recording
   The Klimet A30 accurately measures and records environmental parameters. In combination with the Efficiency Pack, air density can then be calculated, thus enabling compensation for air buoyancy influences.
7. Efficiency Pack
   Improve throughput by pre-programming multiple tasks and having the robotic or automated mass comparators execute them sequentially. Gain accuracy through post-processing of air buoyancy data.
