In order to further improve the metrological properties of weighing systems based on the principle of electromagnetic force compensation (EMFC) as well as quality assurance, it is necessary to determine the parameters relevant for the dynamic operation, such as measurement time and controller behavior. This determination is carried out by loading the balance system and observing the indication. Typically this is done by a load changer using different metrological weights. This method is inevitable if metrological traceability is required. However, the conventional procedure of load changing also entails several disadvantages. The number of possible load changes per unit time is limited and the force characteristic during loading is usually unknown and relatively difficult to reproduce or manipulate. Furthermore the fast and sudden exchange of the weights causes mechanical vibrations and a movement of the surrounding air, both of which act as additional disturbances. In this paper we propose an alternative loading method, with which these shortcomings can be improved and compare it to a conventional system. This method is based on loading the weighing system in a defined manner using a Lorentz-force, allowing the tester to generate a known, virtually arbitrary force characteristic during loading. It is shown that the Lorentz-force generated load represents a practical alternative to classical weights, offering advantages in reproducibility, dynamics and ability to be automated. Since the proposed method applies a known Lorentz-force to the weighing system it becomes possible to exactly determine the relationship between the force acting on the weighing pan and the resulting behavior of the weighing system.

This paper discusses an optical position sensor which can be used in balances based on the principle of electromagnetic force compensation (short used EFC) for example. Other applications are zero point detection as well as high precision positioning in the range of ± 200 μm. The position sensor consists of two infrared-LED (IR-LED) which illuminate a single photodiode via an aperture. The aperture is movable and performs a shadowing of the beams, thus shadowing changes due to the position of the aperture. The photodiode detects light from both LED. Both light sources have to be modulated and phase shifted to distinguish them in the photodiode signal. The evaluation of the position of the aperture is done by demodulating the received signal. A major advantage of this method is that the aperture's operating point is in the centre of the beams. Hence higher sensitivity is achievable and the beams can be focused onto the photodiode. Furthermore standard components are used and thus expensive differential photodiodes are no longer necessary.

The Vacuum Transfer System (VTS) is designed for fully automatic loading of weights into the Sartorius Prototype Mass Comparator CCL1007. The system enables the user to transfer weights from air to air/neutral gas, air to vacuum and back, as well as from vacuum to vacuum conditions. A detailed description of the technical parameters and the different operation modes will be presented.

The use of high-tech plastics in the field of mechanical engineering is increasing dramatically. The time-dependent change of strain Ε(t) during constant load (viscoelasticity, creeping) is a fundamental property of plastics and exact knowledge of these properties is required for the design of plastic parts. A novel high-resolution materials testing device is presented in this paper. It offers reaction-free interferometric measurement of the viscoelastic behaviour of plastics at a constant bending load. The resolution of the deflection is 1 nm. Therefore, unlike the three point bending test described in the ISO 899-2:2003 standard [1], the device is suitable for the measurement of viscoelasticity Ε(t) at very small strain values (Εmax

The paper describes the comparison of the metrological properties of different 3-D microprobes. Various institutes and companies have developed microprobes to meet the demand for measurements of geometrical properties of small mechanical parts. Conventional 3-D probes as used in classical coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) cannot be adapted for these measurement tasks. Unlike 3-D probes used in CMMs, microprobes use probing spheres with diameters of 0.3 mm and below and probing forces smaller than 1 mN. The metrological properties of three different microprobes were characterised: A probe system made by the National Physical Laboratory (United Kingdom) a probe system developed by the institute for Microtechnology (Braunschweig University of technology, Germany) and a probe system made by Xpress Precision Engineering (Netherlands). Furthermore a new microprobe developed by the institute for processmeasurement and sensortechnology (Ilmenau University of technology, Germany) is presented and first measurement results are introduced.
