• Absolute Sort of Complete Assembly
• Data to Labels, Reports, and Files

21
THEORY OF OPERATION
MOMENT is a factor of the mass of the part,
times the distance of the Center of Mass from the
Centerline of the Scale Assembly

• The MOMENT is Measured From the Centerline of the
  Assembly, Rather Than Some Arbitrary Point .
• Computes the MOMENT by Determining the
  Difference (plus or minus 10 of the Total) from
  the MASTER or OPTIMUM Blade Moment..
• RESULT The AWS Method Renders Results That Are
  At Least 10 Times More Accurate Than Other
  Methods Of Moment Determination.

22
OPERATION

• After the the System Setup, The Operator Follows
  These Steps
• Enters Individual Operator ID
• Selects the Part to be Measured
• Inserts a MASTER Blade into the Cradle for
  Referencing
• Removes the MASTER, Inserts a Part to be
  Measured

23

• After Closing the Housing Doors,
• Allows the Scale to Settle, Pushes theF5 Key,
  Enters the Part Serial Number and Press the ENTER
  Key
• The Label is Printed and the Measurement Data is
  Saved to a File
• The Operator Continues Inserting Parts Until a
  Sufficient Number for Accurate Classification
  Have Been Measured

24
The Entire Process of Loading a Part into the
Cradle, Closing the Housing Door, Measuring the
Part, Removing It, and Affixing the Label Takes
Less Time Than It Is Taking Me to Tell You About
It!
