Abstract
Considering the requirements for the dissemination of mass and a large number of weights to be handled, traditional mass comparators are not sufficient for daily work. Automatic robot system can be able to perform the dissemination of the mass scale without any manual intervention as well as the fast speed calibration of weight samples against a reference weight. In the paper, a new robotic measurement system CCR10 is used to calibrate two weight sets (from 10 g down to 1 g) against one 10 g reference weight by subdivision method. The mean values of the weighing differences of 10 ABBA cycles are used for the adjustment calculation. A detailed description of the weighing design as well as the result of evaluation of the expanded uncertainty is given.
