The Ray-Ran Ohaus Adventurer AX gives routine QC laboratories accurate touchscreen weighing from 0.01 mg semi-micro to 12 kg high-capacity, with GLP/GMP-compliant data output and EC type-approved variants for legal-for-trade work - without paying for automation most routine testing does not need.
Adventurer AX gives routine QC laboratories the best of both worlds: touchscreen operation, traceable data output, and dependable everyday weighing performance, without paying for automation most routine testing does not need.
Semi-micro: 0.01 mg readability with 82 g and 220 g capacities. Stainless steel pan on an Ø 80 mm platform. Glass draftshield with two-piece top-mounted side doors and a sliding top door.
Analytical: 0.1 mg readability with capacities up to 320 g. Stainless steel pan on an Ø 90 mm platform.
Precision: 1 mg through 0.1 g readability with capacities up to 12 kg on the high-capacity model. Stainless steel pan across platform sizes from Ø 130 mm on 1 mg models to 175 mm x 195 mm on the high-capacity model.
A 4.3-inch full-color VGA touchscreen and six mechanical buttons keep operator training short. RS-232, USB Host, and USB Device interfaces send GLP/GMP-compliant data with a real-time clock. Applications on-instrument include weighing in 17 units plus a custom unit, parts counting, percentage weighing, check weighing, animal and dynamic weighing, totalization and statistics, formulation, density determination, display hold, and batch printing. The interface supports up to 9 operating languages, with selectable environmental filters and user-definable project and user IDs.
Three sub-variants across each tier let you match the balance to the job:
Standard AX: includes AutoCal internal calibration. The balance calibrates itself automatically whenever it detects temperature drift, so operators spend less time on manual calibrations and there is less chance of an out-of-spec reading between calibration intervals.
AX/M (EC Type Approved): adds EC type approval on top of the standard specification for legal-for-trade and prescribed applications. Verification interval (e) is stated in the full spec sheet.
AX/E (Economy): removes AutoCal to hit a lower price point where manual span calibration is acceptable. Same touchscreen and application set as standard. Available on analytical and precision only (no Economy semi-micro variant).
Compliance built in: GLP/GMP-compliant data output and EC type-approved (M) variants suit regulated QC laboratories without adding external data-logging kit or a separate legal-for-trade instrument.
One family, many jobs: standardize routine weighing across R&D, production, and dispatch on one balance family with a shared interface and application set – one training program covers every operator.
Three price points: Standard, /M, and /E sub-variants mean each site buys the balance it actually needs, not the one that ticks every box on paper.
| Tier | Readability | Capacity range | Platform | Sub-variants available |
| Semi-micro | 0.01 mg | 82 g to 220 g | Ø 80 mm | Standard, /M |
| Analytical | 0.1 mg | 120 g to 320 g | Ø 90 mm | Standard, /M, /E |
| Precision (fine) | 1 mg | 220 g to 620 g | Ø 130 mm | Standard, /M, /E |
| Precision (mid) | 0.01 g | 420 g to 6200 g | 175 x 195 mm | Standard, /M, /E |
| Precision (high-capacity) | 0.1 g | 2200 g to 12 kg | 175 x 195 mm | Standard, /M, /E |
One of our balance specialists will contact you within one working day to confirm your application, tier, capacity, readability, and any regulatory requirements (EC type-approved, GLP/GMP compliance, or standard). We will send full specification sheets and IP SKU references for the exact model configuration so purchasing can move forward for internal sign-off, along with lead time, installation, and calibration options. If you need to compare across the Ray-Ran Ohaus range (Explorer, Adventurer, Pioneer, PR), we will map your workflow to the right tier before you commit to a spec.
Every Ray-Ran Ohaus Adventurer Weighing Balance is supplied with a 2-year warranty from the date of installation. Industrial Physics offers global installation, on-site or laboratory calibration, preventative maintenance contracts, and spare parts for the Adventurer range. Visit our support section to book service, calibration, or spares.

Standard AX models include AutoCal internal calibration, which corrects for temperature drift automatically. AX/M variants add EC type approval on top of the standard specification, for legal-for-trade and prescribed applications such as pharmacy dispensing and regulated QC. AX/E (Economy) variants remove AutoCal to hit a lower price point – manual span calibration is used instead. All three sub-variants share the same 4.3-inch touchscreen, application set, and connectivity.
The Adventurer AX series covers three configurations. Semi-micro (0.01 mg readability, 82 g and 220 g capacities). Analytical (0.1 mg readability, 120 g through 320 g). Precision (1 mg through 0.1 g readability, 220 g through 12 kg). The 12 kg high-capacity precision model (AX12001 series) uses a 175 mm x 195 mm platform.
Yes. Every Adventurer AX includes RS-232, USB Host, and USB Device interfaces with GLP/GMP compliant data output and a real-time clock. Selectable environmental filters, user-definable project and user IDs, software lockout, and up to 9 operating languages support routine QC documentation. For pharmaceutical audit-trail and 21 CFR Part 11 workflows, the Explorer tier is a better fit.
Ohaus manufactures the Adventurer series under ISO 9001:2015. EC type-approved (M) variants meet the Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments Directive (2014/31/EU) for legal-for-trade and prescribed applications. OIML calibration weight classes (E2 on semi-micro and analytical, F1 on precision) are stated per model in the full spec sheet.
Adventurer sits in the middle of the Ohaus range. Compared with Explorer (the premium tier), Adventurer uses a smaller 4.3-inch VGA touchscreen (Explorer has 7-inch capacitive), a stainless steel pan (Explorer has zinc alloy semi-micro and SST 316/304 elsewhere), and lacks the motorized leveling, auto-doors, and built-in ionizer of the Explorer Plus tier. Compared with Pioneer (the entry tier), Adventurer adds the touchscreen, 17 units plus custom unit, batch printing, and up to 9 operating languages – Pioneer uses an LCD display with a second line for guidance. Choose Adventurer for routine QC that needs touchscreen operation without the full Explorer feature set.
