The VWR
®
Advanced 5000 Orbital Shaker is designed for a wide range of
applications with larger or heavier loads that require accurate and repeatable
results.
Operating Features:
Accu-Drive Shaking System*:
The exclusive Accu-Drive Shaking System
delivers exceptional speed control, accuracy, and durability. The shaking system
continuously monitors shaking speed and maintains set-point, even under
changing loads. When unit is set to a speed above 100rpm, the speed accuracy is
± 1% of set speed. When set under 100rpm, speed accuracy is ± 1rpm.
Microprocessor control:
The variable speed microprocessor control provides
consistent uniform shaking action.
Triple eccentric drive:
Permanently lubricated ball bearings and maintenance
free, brushless DC motor provide reliable service and continuous duty operation.
LED display:
Touch pad controls with easy-to-read, independent LED displays for
speed and time allow operator to view both settings at once. Provides repeatable
and accurate results every time and is easily visible across lab benches. Timer
will display elapsed time or, when programmed to user defined limit, will shut
off unit when time reaches zero. Display will show last used settings, even after
power has been turned off.
RS-232 interface:
Provides two-way communication for data logging and unit
control.
Speed calibration mode:
Allows user to automatically recalibrate speed display.
Safety Features:
Load sensor:
A built-in load sensor detects unbalanced conditions and
automatically reduces rpm to a safe speed to protect samples.
Overload protection:
Audible and visual signals will activate when system
detects an obstruction or overload of the tray.
Speed ramping feature:
Slowly increases speed to desired set-point to avoid
splashing.
