Upgrading your equipment can bring new features and capabilities to your inspection system, as well as ensuring you are up to date with changing regulations. We can undertake single upgrades or an entire upgrade programme over time, so as to keep your equipment in line with current operational and functionality standards.
To keep your inspection systems aligned to your refurbished or upgraded equipment, we can also ensure that software updates are carried out. We can either undertake the installations for you, or provide the required software for you to undertake the upgrades when convenient for you.
Overhauling and refurbishing your equipment can help it perform efficiently for many years to come, extending its useful life and ensuring maximum return on your original investment. We can replace, refurbish or overhaul systems to maximise operating efficiency, whilst minimising operational downtime.
Technology moves on at an ever increasing pace as consumers and retailers demand more from the products they purchase. This demand drives the evolution of more stringent food industry safety standards and increased focus on improvements in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). For many metal detection systems, such shifts in requirements would necessitate the need to purchase a completely new machine just to keep pace - but this is not the case if you have a METTLER TOLEDO Safeline metal detector.
The load cell is the heart of your checkweigher
As the heart of your checkweigher, the load cell is subject to a degree of wear over the years. This wear can affect the precision and product life of the load cell. You should be aware that the performance and maximum throughput of your whole plant depend on the load cell.
By changing over to the latest generation of electro-magnetic force compensation load cells, you are able to ensure that your checkweigher’s performance will be maintained to the fullest.
Accuracy, reliability and easy integration characterise the electro-magnetic force compensation load cells from METTLER TOLEDO. The standard CL20 (passive) and RS422 data interfaces give you freedom of parameter settings up to a transmission speed of 115200 Baud. The TF load cell has three digital inputs that can be read via the serial interface by an external host. Additionally, three digital outputs can be activated by the serial interface to directly control actuator devices such as rejectors with up to 24V DC/0.5A.
Different versions of both the TF10 and TF20 load cell types are available. They can be used to replace load cells of the BF8 and BF10 types, as were fitted into Garvens checkweigher models of the E-series and S-series built from the year 2000 onwards (e.g.checkweigher models E2, E3, S2 and S3).
METTLER TOLEDO’s local Service Team will be happy to advise and assist you on selecting the correct load cell.
Upgrading your software can assist with maintaining the positive performance of your x-ray inspection system and enhance the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
Ensuring your x-ray inspection system is operating the most recent software has a multitude of benefits including:
Throughout the evolution of our x-ray machines, the capability of the software has been continually developed, resulting in the 2014 release of our most comprehensive product to date – FLEX.
At the core of the x-ray system is the software; this is the power behind Safeline X-ray's inspection systems. Upgrading to the new software not only benefits the user by offering an improved user interface but also increases performance in terms of processing speeds and enhanced tools.
Upgrading your existing METTLER TOLEDO Safeline X-ray system's software ensures continuous high performance and outstanding features whilst bringing your x-ray system up-to-date.
The intuitive touch interface allows users to interact with the software tools as efficiently as possible. Operator training, product changeovers and changing parameters are easier than ever.
