Rapid Precision Weighing
The KERN ABP-A from KERN & SOHN GmbH is based on a weighing cell from the new Single-Cell Generation made from aluminium alloy. Thanks to short stabilisation times and high temperature resistance, this cell made from a single piece of metal indicates the weighing result significantly quicker than other weighing systems. Together with the intuitively structured menu on the analytical balance and a navigation cross, this enables efficient working.
To accelerate the weighing process the balance also has three automatic sliding doors. The automatic function prevents contamination through manual opening. The height-adjustable internal draft shield minimises environmental influences within the weighing area and ensures that the weight is extremely stable. In this way, the display shows reliable results without delay.
The internal automatic adjustment ensures precision and reliability: The balance will be automatically re-adjusted where there are temperature changes over 1°C and in a time-controlled manner every four hours. In this way a high level of accuracy is consistently ensured and the user is not tied to one location. Depending on the model, the KERN ABP-A can achieve a readout from 0.1 up to 0.01 milligrams. To also be able to weigh electrostatically charged samples reliably, KERN & SOHN has integrated an ioniser into the rear panel of the balance.
The KERN ABP-A is ideal for use in the most varied laboratory applications, including those in the pharmaceutical industry, research laboratories as well as quality control laboratories. The tare/print key and navigation cross make it easier to carry out recipe weighing, for example.
Communication with external devices such as laptops, PCs and LIMS systems is through an RS 232 and a USB data interface. In addition, the balance has a USB Host for connecting a USB keyboard, a scanner or USB stick.

3D Printing Accelerates R&D in Flow Meter Technology
“3D printing technology is fundamentally changing the way we design, prototype and test flowmeter devices within our R&D, particularly when developing specialist designs for OEM applications,” says Neil Hannay, Senior R&D Engineer with Titan Enterprises.
Titan’s research, development, and design efforts are dedicated to finding innovative solutions for OEM customers and pushing the boundaries of product performance and physical properties. Over 5 years ago, Titan began incorporating 3D printing technology for design, initially using a state-of-the-art FDM printer. However, with advancements in 3D printing, Titan has invested in a new printer at a fraction of the cost, but with significantly enhanced capabilities.
With improved technology and a wider range of engineering materials available, 3D printing has become a critical tool in Titan’s research and development activities, enabling quick and cost-effective prototyping. Despite being more expensive per cubic volume of model, Titan’s new UV resin printer offers superior precision, detail, and durability, allowing for highly iterative design and greater fidelity in prototypes. Additionally, the resin printer enables printing of replacement parts and custom tools, adding to its versatility.
As an example, Titan recently used their 3D printer for an OEM turbine development project. The printer allowed them to size and fit the flowmeter’s externals to the customer’s equipment and conduct preliminary integrated performance tests. Transparent materials used in the printing process also enabled Titan’s R&D engineers to visually examine the internal manufacture, fit, and operation of the flowmeter, significantly speeding up product development. In the past, early prototypes were produced using CNC, which is time-consuming and expensive. With an in-house 3D printer, new versions can be modified and tested on the same day as conception, allowing for faster design iterations and validation.
Titan’s non-metallic flow meters, including the NSF-Approved 800-series turbine meters and Beverage flowmeters widely used in the medical, food, and beverage industries, are well-suited for the 3D printing process for development, improvement, and design enhancements.
