Shimadzu Corporation was established in 1875 in Kyoto, Japan, as one of the pioneers of scientific precision instruments.
Top-pan and torsion balance production started in 1918, and equal-beam analytical balances were introduced in the market in 1925. Ever since, continuous improvement of Shimadzu balances has contributed to the development of industry and research. In early days, precision weighing was a time-consuming practice performed only by experienced operators. Placing the sample and small masses on pans hung from a beam and reading a scale with a moving indicator was arduous and fatiguing. Shimadzu keeps removing such difficulties from weighing work.
New UniBloc-Technology offers rapid, stable and accurate results
The new line of Shimadzu top-loading balances are engineered with the innovative UniBloc mechanism which brings unrivaled quick response, excellent stability and durability at the same time. Powerful features support any imaginable weighing application. AUW-D Series comes with motor-driven built-in calibration weight and fully-automatic calibration functions.
