- New Enhanced Functionalities Offer Users Immediate Results, Easier Handling and More Opportunities to Speed up Their Weighing Processes

METTLER TOLEDO, a leading global supplier of precision instruments and services is introducing a new balance range, NewClassic, thus replacing the current Classic portfolio. Suitable for every weighing need, NewClassic MS is a true workhorse, setting new standards on durability and ease of operation. A new high-quality robust metal housing offers reliable protection and is resistant to chemicals. The re-designed user-interface allows intuitive operation, and new SmartKeys offer direct access to preferred applications. A modern HCD-Display guarantees error-free reading of results and is easy on the eyes. METTLER TOLEDO breaks new ground also in customer service: in a virtual showroom (http://www.mt.com/newclassic) the user explores all functionalities of NewClassic. 3D-animations, videos and an assistant wizard help in choosing the right balance.

Long-lasting investment in precise results

Only 30 seconds - that's all it now takes to dismantle all glass panels and the draft shield of the NewClassic MS, without moving the balance, making cleaning an easy task. The robust metal housing protects the weighing cell from environmental influences and impacts. Built-in shock and overload protection guarantee a long product life. Under the elegant design sits the proven MonoBloc weighing cell and FACT, Fully Automatic Calibration Technology. Weighing data is easily stored via USB or RS232 port.

The quick way to the right balance

The virtual showroom offers comprehensive information on NewClassic balances and allows insight into its new functionalities. Short videos show how the user operates the balance in his own language or programs the SmartKeys for direct access to applications.
