For us, it’s not always just about the vacuum.

For our long-standing customer, the Thüringer Landesamt für Landwirtschaft und Ländlichen Raum, we modernised an older weighing and dosing system. Here we were able to utilise our expertise in system design and control.

The result was a system for automatically dosing water and solutions onto soil samples or other samples in containers arranged in a rectangular grid on a sample table. This was realised using a new stepper motor-driven XY traversing unit (traverse path of 2000 mm x 500 mm) and existing components for dosing. Both the parameter settings and the entire operation are carried out using specially developed software via a PC.

October 2020
