Weighing Material Cabinet Design – Large Compartment Cabinet

Weighing Material Cabinet Design – Large Compartment Cabinet

Weighing Material Cabinet (Large Compartment Version) is a specialized storage solution developed by HYVODA for “large-sized, heavy-duty materials” (e.g., mechanical parts, bulk industrial consumables, large tool assemblies) that require both weight management and secure storage. It integrates high-load-bearing weighing sensors, extra-large compartment design, and intelligent control systems to address core pain points of traditional large-material management—such as “difficulty in weighing heavy items with portable scales”, “disordered storage leading to retrieval delays”, “inaccurate manual weight recording”, and “high risk of damage to large materials during handling”.

Unlike standard weighing cabinets with small/medium compartments, this large-compartment version features widened and deepened storage spaces (single compartment load capacity up to 30KG) and reinforced structural design to accommodate bulky items (e.g., 500mm-long mechanical shafts, 20KG batches of fasteners). It supports real-time weight monitoring, automatic inventory updates, and multi-modal access control, making it an ideal choice for heavy machinery manufacturing, automotive component workshops, logistics warehouses, and industrial maintenance centers to achieve refined management of large-scale materials.

Features

  1. Extra-Large Compartment Design for Bulky/Heavy Materials
    Each compartment is engineered with expanded internal dimensions (standard: 350mm (W) × 440mm (D) × 220mm (H), fully customizable) to fit large-sized materials that cannot be stored in ordinary weighing cabinets—such as large mechanical gears, bulk packaging of industrial adhesives, or heavy tool cases. The compartment opening is widened to 320mm (min.), allowing easy loading/unloading of materials without forced squeezing (reducing surface scratches on precision large parts). Additionally, the cabinet adopts a “main cabinet + sub-cabinet” modular combination (e.g., 16-compartment main cabinet + 18-compartment sub-cabinet), providing up to 34 independent large storage spaces to meet batch storage needs of heavy materials.
  2. High-Load-Bearing Weighing System with Stable Precision
    Each compartment is equipped with a dedicated high-load strain-gauge weighing sensor (rated load: 30KG) and a reinforced stainless steel weighing platform (thickness: 3mm). The sensor offers a weighing accuracy of ±1g (for loads ≤10KG) and ±5g (for loads >10KG)—accurate enough to track small weight changes of large materials (e.g., consuming 2KG of a 20KG fastener batch). A shock-absorbing rubber pad is installed between the sensor and the cabinet body to buffer impact during material placement (e.g., placing a 30KG metal part without damaging the sensor), ensuring long-term weighing stability (sensor service life ≥5 years under normal use).
  3. Reinforced Structural Design for Durability & Safety
    To support the weight of heavy materials and prevent cabinet deformation, the product adopts a multi-layer reinforcement strategy:

 

  • Cabinet Frame: Made of 1.5mm-thick cold-rolled steel (thicker than standard 1.2mm cabinets) with crosswise reinforcing ribs on the top and bottom panels to enhance load-bearing capacity (total cabinet static load ≥500KG).
  • Compartment Dividers: Uses 1.2mm-thick steel plates (instead of plastic) to avoid bending when storing heavy items (e.g., 30KG parts leaning against dividers).
  • Door Hinges: Equipped with heavy-duty stainless steel hinges (load capacity ≤8KG per hinge) to prevent door sagging caused by frequent opening/closing of compartments with heavy materials.

 

This rugged design ensures the cabinet can operate stably in high-frequency industrial environments (e.g., 50+ daily accesses to heavy parts) without structural damage.

 

  1. Ergonomic Access Design for Easy Handling

 

  • Wide-Opening Doors: Each compartment door has a width of ≥320mm and a 120° maximum opening angle, allowing users to use both hands to lift heavy materials (e.g., 25KG tool boxes) without door obstruction.
  • Anti-Slip Weighing Platform: The stainless steel weighing platform is coated with an anti-slip texture to prevent materials from sliding during placement/retrieval (e.g., oily mechanical parts not slipping off the platform).
  • Embedded Handle: A recessed handle is installed on each compartment door to avoid protrusions that could catch on materials during handling, while providing a firm grip for opening heavy doors (e.g., doors with reinforced seals).

 

These design details reduce the physical strain of handling heavy materials and lower the risk of material damage or operator injury.

 

  1. Intelligent Weight Management & Compartment-Level Alerts

 

  • Real-Time Weight Display: The 10.1-inch touchscreen on the cabinet front shows the real-time weight of each large compartment (e.g., “Compartment 5: 18.5KG (Steel Shafts)”) and highlights compartments with abnormal weight changes (e.g., a sudden drop of 10KG indicating possible material loss).
  • Targeted Early Warnings: Two types of alerts are tailored to large-material management:
    • Low Inventory Warning: When the weight of bulk materials (e.g., 20KG batches of bolts) falls below the safety threshold (e.g., 5KG), the system triggers a yellow LED flash on the compartment and sends a restock reminder (e.g., “Replenish Compartment 8: Bolt Batch <5KG”).
    • Overload Warning: If materials exceeding the compartment’s 30KG load limit are placed, the system locks the compartment door and sounds an alarm to prevent sensor damage or cabinet deformation.
  • Weight Change Log: The system records every weight fluctuation of large materials (e.g., “Compartment 3: 20KG → 15KG, Operator: John, Time: 14:30”) for traceability—critical for managing high-value large parts (e.g., automotive engine components).

 

  1. Multi-Modal Access Control & Compatibility with Heavy-Duty Scenarios
    The cabinet supports face recognition, fingerprint/vein recognition, and IC card recognition to restrict access to authorized personnel only—adapting to harsh industrial conditions:

 

  • IC Card Recognition: Ideal for workshops where operators’ hands are oily or dusty (no need for clean hands for biometric verification), enabling quick access with a swipe of an employee ID card.
  • Face Recognition: Suitable for clean environments (e.g., automotive assembly plants) with a recognition rate of ≥99% and response time ≤1s.

  • Material Compatibility: Add optional features such as corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel compartments (for oily or chemical-coated large parts), waterproof gaskets (for moisture-sensitive materials), or anti-static coatings (for electronic large components).

 

  1. On-Site Installation & Heavy-Duty Calibration

 

  • Professional Installation: Due to the cabinet’s reinforced structure and weight (≥150KG for main cabinet), technicians provide on-site installation with specialized lifting equipment to ensure safe placement (e.g., aligning the cabinet with workshop material handling routes).
  • High-Load Calibration: Use standard weights (5KG, 10KG, 30KG) to calibrate each compartment’s weighing sensor on-site, ensuring accuracy within ±1g (for ≤10KG) and ±5g (for >10KG) even under full load.

 

  1. Targeted After-Sales Support

 

  • Emergency Response: Commits to “1-hour response to requests and 24-hour on-site service for key customers”. For large-compartment-specific issues (e.g., sensor failure under heavy load, hinge deformation), after-sales engineers carry specialized tools (e.g., high-load test weights, replacement heavy-duty hinges) for on-site repairs.
  • Warranty: 1-year warranty for the entire cabinet, 2-year warranty for core heavy-duty components (high-load sensors, stainless steel weighing platforms, heavy-duty hinges), with free replacement of faulty parts within the warranty period.

 

  1. Long-Term Maintenance & Training

 

  • Regular Inspections: Conduct quarterly on-site inspections focusing on:
    • Structural Integrity: Checking for frame deformation, hinge wear, and compartment divider bending (critical for maintaining load-bearing capacity).
    • Sensor Accuracy: Recalibrating sensors with standard weights to ensure no drift in high-load weighing (e.g., 30KG load still measures within ±5g).
  • Operator Training: Provide training on safe handling of large materials (e.g., using two hands to place 30KG items), interpreting weight alerts (e.g., distinguishing low inventory from overload warnings), and basic maintenance (e.g., cleaning anti-slip platforms).
