Thanks to its mechanical rigidity and very high natural resonant frequency, the PW22i boasts an extremely short settling time, a critical requirement for fast-cycle applications. These characteristics enable precise and repeatable measurements, contributing to reduced overfilling in packaging processes and ensuring measurement stability under dynamic loads in robotic systems. Available in 10 kg, 20 kg, and 50 kg capacities—and certified to C3MR accuracy class—the PW22i guarantees reliable results under demanding operating conditions.
“The PW22i was designed for environments where mechanical dynamics are high and real-time measurement reliability is critical,” said Simon Kleefeldt, Product Manager Weighing Sensors at HBK. “Whether on high-speed packaging lines or in robotic applications with rapidly changing load profiles, we combine ultra-fast dynamic weighing with IO-Link intelligence directly at the sensor level. This enables plug-and-play integration, faster commissioning, and direct use of weighing data within existing control architectures.”.
The standardized IO-Link interface and 4-pin M12 connector simplify commissioning, replacement, and retrofitting of existing systems. Intelligent features such as data preprocessing, self-monitoring, and diagnostics provide continuous visibility into sensor status and process behavior, supporting predictive maintenance strategies and OEE optimization in packaging lines, robotic cells, and end-of-arm tooling systems.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the PW22i features IP67 protection and a patented overload stop, allowing it to withstand up to five times its rated capacity. This robustness ensures reliable operation under mechanical stress, eccentric loads, and transient forces, common in high-dynamic industrial and robotic applications. The PW22i helps machine builders, system integrators, and producers design faster, more connected, and smarter systems, where weighing becomes a key enabler of operational performance, product quality, and data-driven process control, in both packaging automation and industrial robotics.
