About Guardian 7000 ہاٹ پلیٹ اسٹرر

گارڈین 7000 ایک لیبارٹری ہاٹ پلیٹ اسٹرر ہے جو نمونوں کو گرم کرنے اور ملانے کے لیے استعمال ہوتا ہے۔ اس کا بیرونی خول کیمیائی طور پر مزاحم رال (ریزِن) کی انجیکشن مولڈنگ سے تیار کیا گیا ہے، جو پلیٹ کے 500 ڈگری سینٹی گریڈ کے زیادہ سے زیادہ درجۂ حرارت پر بھی ٹھنڈا رہتا ہے۔ مربوط حفاظتی افعال بلوٹوتھ اور انفراریڈ ٹیکنالوجی کے ذریعے آپریٹر کے موجود نہ ہونے پر ہیٹر کو بند کر دیتے ہیں اور الیکٹرانکس کو زائد حرارت سے بچانے کے لیے نگرانی کرتے ہیں۔ دو نوبس پلیٹ کے درجۂ حرارت اور ہلانے (اسٹرنگ) کی رفتار کو کنٹرول کرتے ہیں، جبکہ زیادہ دیر تک دبانے سے مینو اور ٹائمر کھل جاتے ہیں۔ یہ تین سائز میں پیش کیا جاتا ہے۔

Production Technology
The Guardian 7000 design was realized through market research and competitive analysis. The unit enclosure was designed using injection molding of chemically resistant resins that stay cool even at a maximum temperature of 500C. Internal electronics were designed to provide automatic safety features not available in competitor models, using Bluetooth and infrared technology. The design also provides best in class accuracy and repeatability through extensive software development driving the electrical system.
Design Challenge
The Guardian 7000 was an opportunity to upgrade the MMI from an Led display controlled by a membrane switch with buttons to a modern Lcd display and simple knob control. Designing intuitive icons for the LCD display that represented the Smart features was a creative task where there was strong collaboration with Marketing and R&D. The new software that was designed for simple knob control was tested internally and externally to ensure an easy-to-use unit for a positive customer experience.
Research
The Guardian 7000 was designed with safety, performance, and innovation in mind. Market research presented an opportunity to include SmartPresence™ and SmartLink™, features that protect the user with Bluetooth and Infrared technologies to automatically shut off the heater if the user is undetected. Industry leading SafetyHeat™ technology monitors the electronics to prevent overheating. The powerful motor magnet assembly provide users the ability to stir a wide array of sample types.
Inspiration
Safety is the number one priority for laboratories and hotplate-stirrers left unattended can be the cause of catastrophic accidents including fires. The design intention of Guardian Hotplate-Stirrers is to protect people, samples and ultimately the lab. We analyzed our competitors, conducted a focus group, and performed market surveys in the United States and Europe. All results emphasized the importance of safety. Our design mission for the Guardian 7000 Hotplate-Stirrer; Think Safer. Think Smart.
Project Duration
The Guardian 7000 project started in September 2017 in Thorofare, New Jersey and finished in March 2020 in Thorofare, New Jersey where the product was released to distribution hubs. In March of 2020 a product launch event was held at Pittcon 2020 in Chicago.
Operation Flow
The product operates with simple rotations and presses of two control knobs, one controlling temperature of the top plate and the other controlling the speed of the motor. The menu with advanced features is easily accessed by a long press of the temperature knob. The unit also features a timer that can be set with a long press of the speed knob.
