Abstract
The moving housing parts of an analytical balance are couplable with drive apparatus, which receives the appropriate control commands for opening or closing, for instance, from sensors operating in a contactless fashion. Proximity sensors or voice control sensors can be utilized as sensors. The mechanical process of the opening-or closing movement occurs by means of a drive housed in the housing.
