Anritsu's checkweighers have advanced together with the pharmaceutical industry.

We delivered our first checkweigher to a pharmaceutical manufacturer. Learning from the pharmaceutical industry’s rigorous attitude toward quality control, Anritsu Infivis has since continued to develop its technologies. Anritsu Infivis is committed to addressing advanced quality assurance issues through closer cooperation with customers and partners in the pharmaceutical industry.

Cumulative shipments of checkweigher ^∗

Ever since we shipped our first checkweigher K501A that was put on sale in 1965, we have sold more than 90,000 units of checkweighers in total.

We have also sold more than 55,000 units of metal detectors and more than 15,000 units of X-ray inspection systems.

Countries of destination ^∗

Our products are used by customers not only in Japan but also in many countries, from major pharmaceutical manufacturers in the U.S.A., Germany, Italy, China and India, to emerging countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia and Argentina.

Capsule Checkweigher

Ever since its early years, Anritsu has developed weight inspection equipment for minute weight products. The K515, capsule checkweigher developed in 1970 featuring five small parallel spring microbalances and Anritsu’s proprietary capsule feeding design, had the capacity to weigh 600 capsules per minute at an accuracy of 2 mg.

Electromagnetic force balance weighcell

Achieved the world's top-level speed of 400 products/minute and accuracy of ±0.02 g not by weighing based on gravity but by balancing against electromagnetic force generated by a coil.

World’s first automatic sensitivity setting for metal detectors

Nowadays, most metal detectors are with the function of automatic sensitivity setting, but Anritsu’s KD801Ax released in 1991 was the world’s first one with the function. With its expertise acquired in the field and total engineering capability in terms of both hardware and software, Anritsu automated phase adjustment that used to be dependent on skilled engineers’ intuition and experience.

In-house development of X-ray inspection system

The KD7203AW is a high-sensitive contaminant detector that generates stable X-rays with an inverter power source and proprietary X-ray tube and uses image processing algorithm developed in-house. Launch of this small-sized X-ray inspection system at an almost half price of conventional large-sized, high-priced models facilitated the widespread use of X-ray inspection systems.
