Weights made through fabrication Processes:
This refers to weights not solely relying on cast iron ingots. Fabrication techniques involve shaping various materials to achieve the desired weight.
Materials:
- Steel plates: Welded or bolted together to form the weight body.
- Machined steel components: Precision-machined from solid steel blocks for high accuracy.
- Composite materials: Combining materials like steel and pig iron for specific weight and strength requirements.
Manufacturing processes:
- Welding: Joining steel plates to create a hollow or solid weight structure.
- Machining: Precisely cutting and shaping solid steel blocks to achieve the exact weight and dimensions
- Molding: Using composite materials like concrete or plastic molded into specific shapes.
Applications:
- Large weights: Fabricated weights are suitable for heavier capacities (beyond 50 kg) due to the ability to create robust structures.
- Customizable weights: Fabrication allows for more intricate shapes and weight distributions compared to traditional cast iron weights.
- Calibration weights: High-precision weights used for calibrating other weighing instruments can be fabricated for specific needs.
Handling:
- Easy to lift: Fabricated Weights may be suitable for lifting by forklift and / or crane.
