Drawer-Type Weighing Material Cabinet

Drawer-Type Weighing Material Cabinet is an integrated storage and weighing solution developed by HYVODA for “small-to-medium batch materials requiring dust-proof storage, easy access, and precise weight tracking”—such as electronic components (chips, connectors), small hardware (screws, nuts in small batches), laboratory reagents (10-500ml bottles), and automotive mini-parts (sensor components, fasteners). It combines smooth sliding drawer structures, high-precision weighing sensors embedded in drawers, and intelligent data management to solve core pain points of traditional material storage: “dust contamination of exposed materials”, “difficulty in weighing materials without removing them from drawers”, “time-consuming manual inventory of drawer-stored items”, and “loss of small materials in deep drawers”.

Unlike vertical compartment cabinets (large or small), this drawer-type model features pull-out drawers (instead of vertical doors) that allow direct access to materials without bending or reaching—optimizing ergonomics for frequent use. Each drawer acts as an independent weighing unit, enabling real-time weight monitoring and automatic inventory while maintaining the convenience of drawer storage. It is an ideal choice for electronics assembly lines, precision manufacturing workshops, scientific research labs, and automotive parts stations to achieve efficient, clean, and traceable management of small-batch materials.

Features

  • Heavy-Duty Slide Rails: Each drawer is equipped with industrial-grade ball-bearing slide rails (load capacity ≤8KG per drawer) that enable smooth opening/closing with a pull/push force of ≤50N—even after 10,000+ uses (typical for high-frequency workshop access). The rails support full extension (100% drawer pull-out), allowing users to reach all materials in deep drawers (up to 400mm depth) without rummaging, reducing material damage from forced handling.
  • Drawer Quantity & Layout: The cabinet adopts a “main cabinet + sub-cabinet” modular design, with the standard configuration including 28 drawers in the main cabinet and 40 drawers in the sub-cabinet (total 68 drawers). Drawers are arranged in 7-10 layers (height: 100-150mm per layer), balancing vertical space utilization and ergonomic access (no need to stretch above shoulder height or bend below knee level).
  • Drawer Locking Mechanism: Each drawer has an independent electronic lock linked to user permissions—only authorized personnel can open specific drawers (e.g., drawers with high-value chips are restricted to senior technicians), preventing unauthorized access and material theft.

 

  1. Drawer-Integrated Weighing Sensors for In-Place Measurement

 

  • Embedded High-Precision Sensors: Each drawer is fitted with a built-in strain-gauge weighing sensor (rated load: 8KG) and a flat stainless steel weighing platform (thickness: 2mm) that covers the entire drawer bottom. This design eliminates the need to remove materials from drawers for weighing—users can place material containers (e.g., plastic bins, reagent bottles) directly in the drawer, and the sensor automatically detects the total weight with an accuracy of ±0.1g (for loads ≤1KG) and ±0.5g (for loads >1KG).
  • Anti-Shock & Anti-Interference: A 3mm-thick rubber cushion is placed between the sensor and drawer frame to absorb impact when closing drawers or placing materials (e.g., a 500g reagent bottle placed quickly). The sensor is also shielded against electromagnetic interference (common in electronics workshops), ensuring stable weighing accuracy (≥99.9% consistency) even near soldering machines or industrial controllers.
  • Weight Zeroing Function: Users can zero the drawer’s weight before placing materials (e.g., zeroing out the weight of an empty plastic bin), ensuring only the material weight is measured—avoiding calculation errors from container weight.

 

  1. Dust-Proof & Contamination-Resistant Design

 

  • Sealed Drawer Structure: Each drawer is equipped with a foam rubber seal around its perimeter that forms a tight closure when closed, preventing dust, oil, or moisture from entering (critical for dust-sensitive materials like electronic chips or precision bearings). The seal also reduces material spillage between drawers (e.g., tiny screws falling into adjacent drawers).
  • Easy-to-Clean Surfaces: The drawer’s weighing platform is made of 304 stainless steel (optional) or food-grade plastic, which is resistant to chemical corrosion (for reagent storage) and easy to wipe clean with alcohol or industrial cleaners—maintaining hygiene for medical or food-related materials.
  • Drawer Labeling: A clear plastic label holder on the front of each drawer allows users to attach material information labels (e.g., “M3 Stainless Steel Screws, 500pcs”)—avoiding confusion between similar materials in adjacent drawers.

 

  1. Intelligent Inventory & Early Warning for Drawer-Stored Materials

 

  • Automatic Drawer Inventory: After closing a drawer, the system automatically records the current weight and compares it with the last recorded weight to calculate material consumption or return (e.g., “Drawer 15: 250g → 200g = 50g consumed”). The full-cabinet inventory (68 drawers) is completed within 30 seconds, and an electronic report is generated with details like “drawer number, material type, weight change, operator”.
  • Targeted Early Warnings:
    • Low Stock Warning: When the material weight in a drawer falls below the preset threshold (e.g., 50g for a 500g batch of screws), the system triggers a yellow LED indicator on the drawer front and sends a restock reminder to the administrator’s background (via email or app notification).
    • Abnormal Weight Warning: If the weight changes abnormally (e.g., a sudden drop of 100g indicating spillage, or a weight increase suggesting incorrect material placement), the system locks the drawer and logs the event for traceability—preventing cross-contamination of materials or loss.
  • Consumption Trend Analysis: The system stores 6 months of weight data, allowing users to generate reports on material consumption trends (e.g., “Drawer 8: 100g consumed weekly”)—helping optimize procurement plans and reduce overstocking.

 

  1. User-Friendly Operation & Compatibility

 

  • Large Touchscreen Interface: The cabinet is equipped with a 15.6-inch color touchscreen (larger than vertical compartment cabinets) that displays real-time drawer weights, material information, and warning statuses. Users can search for materials by drawer number or name (e.g., “search ‘capacitors’”) and unlock specific drawers with one tap—reducing training time for new operators.
  • Multi-Modal Login: Supports face recognition, fingerprint/vein recognition, and IC card recognition to adapt to different working environments: face recognition for clean labs, IC card recognition for oily workshops (no need for clean hands), and fingerprint recognition for secure areas (e.g., medical reagent storage).
  • Third-Party System Integration: Provides API interfaces to connect with enterprise ERP/MES systems (e.g., SAP, 用友) or laboratory information management systems (LIMS)—synchronizing drawer weight data to the production or research platform for seamless workflow integration.

 

  1. Durable Structure & Emergency Protection

 

  • Reinforced Cabinet Frame: The cabinet body is made of 1.2mm-thick cold-rolled steel with an electrostatic spray coating, which is resistant to scratches and impact (suitable for industrial workshop environments). The frame is reinforced with crossbars to prevent deformation from the weight of 68 fully loaded drawers (total weight ≤544KG).
  • Power Failure Protection: A built-in UPS backup power supply (optional) maintains the operation of core components (sensors, locks, touchscreen) for ≥2 hours after a power outage—ensuring weight data is not lost and critical drawers can be unlocked to retrieve emergency materials.
  • Emergency Drawer Release: In case of system failure, administrators can use a mechanical key to open any drawer—avoiding material detention that could disrupt production.
