AC4000i Checkweigher Controller

The AC4000i incorporates the latest technology in microprocessor based electronics and software enhancements and will handle most checkweighing applications at line speeds up to 350 packages per minute. From a simple off weight ‘policeman’ to a comprehensive checkweighing system with the ability to provide production statistics and digital communications to remote printers or data collection systems, the AC4000i is an economical and easy-to use choice. 

Standard features of the Ramsey AC4000i include:

• 15 Product Memory (expandable)       
• Three or Five zones   of weight classification
• Gross, net or deviation weight display
• Automatic gray zone test facility
• ‘Sample packs’ audit facility
• Automatic ‘no-gap’ detection/rejection
• 2 x 20 character bright VFD display
• Display of weight, zone indication, statistics for each zone
• ‘no-gap’ and ‘alarm’ indicators

Available options include:

• Servo feedback to filler
• Tracker for ‘missing item’ detection

Easy Setup and Operation 

All operator interface is entered digitally through straightforward, membrane-type front panel keys which have tactile touch feedback. A basic telephone-type interactive pad is used to enter numeric data. Twelve additional well-marked function keys allow the operator to enter data, view and scroll through the machine menus, all prompted by the easy-to-read display.
