Abstract
This paper presents recent advances in the KBmini Kibble balance, a tabletop system for E2-accuracy mass calibration up to 1 kg. The profile is characterized by manually setting the magnet at different vertical positions, and the extremum point is selected as the weighing position. The spring constant of the weighing cell around this point is measured. With a new coil of a larger number of turns and a multi-harmonic excitation technique, a near-constant velocity profile over a moving range of 180 m, producing an induced-voltage flat-top region exceeding 1 V, is achieved. These results establish a foundation for subsequent mass calibration experiments.
