Professional Weighing Workstations, Antivibration Tables and Weighing Tables by RADWAG – Elimination of Vibrations in the Laboratory
What Is a Weighing Table?
A weighing table is an extremely important piece of equipment in a weighing room. It is designed to eliminate ground vibrations which interfere with the operation of laboratory instruments, including balances. Even the most precise balance can display imprecise results when it is not standing on a stable surface.
What Is the Difference Between a Weighing Table, an Antivibration Table and a Weighing Workstation?
Weighing tables are a broad category of products which includes antivibration tables and professional weighing workstations. Antivibration tables and weighing workstations differ in terms of functionality and purpose. While an antivibration table consists of a stable worktop and, in most cases, legs, weighing workstations are comprehensive measuring systems which, in addition to the worktop(s), are equipped with two lockable cabinets, a pull-out keyboard shelf, space for a monitor and expansion gaps for computer ventilation. In addition, antivibration tables are designed to work with various RADWAG devices, while professional weighing workstations are specifically designed for RADWAG microbalances and analytical balances.
Which Balances and Scales Should Weighing Tables Be Used With?
Antivibration tables ensure maximum measurement stability for users of laboratory balances, industrial scales, mass comparators and PA-04/H Automatic Feeders. Professional weighing workstations, as mentioned above, are designed for the most accurate balances, i.e. microbalances and analytical balances.
What Materials Are Antivibration Tables Made of? Construction
RADWAG offers a wide range of antivibration tables, which differ in terms of their intended use:
- Laboratory antivibration tables – for analytical balances, precision balances, moisture analyzers and MAS1 Modules
- Laboratory antivibration tables for PLUS series balances
- Antivibration tables for mass comparators
- Industrial antivibration tables – for industrial balances and weighing platforms
- Antivibration tables for PA-04/H Automatic Feeder
as well as by type of construction:
- Stainless steel antivibration tables
- Steel antivibration tables.
The structure and tabletop of stainless steel antivibration tables are made of acid-resistant stainless steel; the exception are stainless steel tables for mass comparators, whose tabletop is made of granite. The structure of steel antivibration tables is made of powder-coated steel, and the tabletop is made of board (MDF, HPL or granite).
The working structure of most antivibration tables consists of a table and a stone separated from each other by a special vibration damper. The table has adjustable legs with protective rubber caps, which allow the table to be levelled on uneven surfaces; the exception are tables for mass comparators, which do not have legs – the low construction of the table relieves the user of the obligation to lift heavy masses to a considerable height. Antivibration tables for mass comparators are equipped with protection against accidental slipping of the stone, as well as vibration-damping rubber.
What Materials Are Weighing Workstations Made of? Construction
RADWAG offers professional single weighing workstations and professional dual weighing workstations. Both models are equipped with two lockable cabinets, which allow for the installation of a computer and a UPS or power strip, as well as a pull-out keyboard shelf. In addition, they have space for a monitor and expansion holes for computer ventilation. The separate antivibration design provides protection against vibrations, and the legs are finished with rubber, which allows the stations to be levelled on uneven floors.
Both single and dual weighing workstations are made of steel, with stone tops and a working area made of MDF board.
