All the innovative technologies of A&D Apollo are designed to provide functional solutions for real world problems that users face in laboratories or in factories. Now discover what they are, and what precision, protection, performance and productivity really mean to you!

Smart SHS
Smart super hybrid sensor (Smart SHS) realizing wide lineup from analytical to high-resolution, high-capacity precision models

Select a balance that best suits your applications and budgets from either the GX-A series of 16 models with internal calibration function (three 0.0001 g readability models, six 0.001 g readability models, five 0.01 g readability models and two 0.1 g readability models) or the GF-A series of 18 models without internal calibration function (three 0.0001 g readability models, seven 0.001 g readability models, six 0.01 g readability models and two 0.1 g readability models).

In addition, the GX-AE series, which consists of three 0.0001 g readability models with internal calibration function, has an ionizer embedded in its breeze break for quickly eliminating static from the sample.

Built-in fanless ionizer Adopting A&D's original "Quick Ion" technology,* it removes static at twice the speed of the conventional ionizer (approx. 0.3 seconds** when the target object is within a distance of 10 cm) without any disturbance * Patent pending
** Subject to the ambient environment, shape of the target object and amount of static charge.

Large and detachable breeze break The breeze break provides sufficient room for various kinds of containers/fixtures and can be easily removed for cleaning as well as use in confined space.

Retractable doors The balance requires no extra space at the rear for accessing the weighing chamber, as the doors disappear into the back.

External IR switch The GX-AE series comes standard with a touchless switch to activate the ionizer for a set duration

A combination of a high-stiffness, Roberval-structure spring material and an electromagnetic force restoration mechanism simultaneously realizes fast stabilization and high resolution for efficient, precise weighing. Typical stabilization time is from 1.5 to 2 seconds with the 0.0001 g readability models and 1 second with the 0.001/0.01/0.1 g readability models.*2
*2 Excludes the 1,620 g x 0.001 g and 10,200 g x 0.01 g models, with a typical stabilization time of 1.5 seconds

Long-term durability and low cost of ownership
A&D's internal experiment verified that Smart SHS withstood a durability test of 10 million repeated loadings without issue. With proper usage and care it can maintain a long and functional life. In case damage is caused, only the defective parts, not the whole unit, need to be replaced, incurring a minimal cost.

Automatic self calibration (ASC)
To ensure accuracy all the time, the balance can be set to calibrate itself automatically using its internal weight either (1) in response to change in ambient temperature to prevent error due to sensitivity drift, (2) at a set interval time, or (3) at predetermined (up to three) times of the day. Internal calibration can also be performed any time with one key press.

Internal weight value correction
In cases such as where the internal weight value varied over time, it can be corrected either by loading an external weight whose value the balance uses as a reference or by manually inputting a correction value

Electronically controlled load (ECL) that enables precision management without using an external weight
ECL is A&D's unique technology of generating a minute load (0.3 to 3% of the balance capacity) by purposely altering the equilibrium state of the electromagnetic force restoration sensor. *Equipped with this ECL, A&D Apollo can automatically assess its precision and provide a number of valuable indexes. The entire process takes only 1.5 minutes and can be readily included in a daily check SOP.

Adjustable response characteristics Depending on the APA results above, you can trade weighing speed for higher display stability*5 or vice versa by selecting one of three preset response characteristics (FAST, MID or SLOW).
*5 This is not to improve repeatability

The weight sensor of a high-precision balance will be damaged in a short period if it is continuously affected by loads with acceleration (impact shocks). This typically occurs in factories where materials are placed roughly by machines or thrown by operators onto balances. In addition, impact shocks can easily shift values and cause errors.

The difficulty is that even if you know the above, you may not know what degree of impact shock is safe or unsafe for the balance to take preventive measures as necessary.

While the power is on, up to 50 impacts of Level 3 and Level 4 will be stored in the balance with timestamp (and log-in user information when the password lock function is used). Data will then be overwritten in order from the weakest impact. This function is especially beneficial for quality managers as it enables them to check and show how the balance had been treated when returned for repair
