Load cells – robust and precise |
| |
 The
DLRx load cells from Baumer are calibrated, analog force sensors.
These sensors are needed to measure forces very accurately – as quality
assurance as well as when controlling facilities and machines. They are
built directly into the flux of force. Thus, they can measure very close
to the spot where the force takes effect. Load cells are easy and
time-saving in their operation. The sensor emits the agent directly as
an analog signal. Therefore, the complete system does not have to be
calibrated. Higher cycle times are reached, because the sensor measures
statically. In contrast to dynamically measuring sensors, this system
does not have to be relieved of pressure and be tared. The precision of
the load arises from their high measuring accuracy. ... |

Digital amplifier VKIA405 guarantees
long-term stability in gravimetric warehouse monitoring |

 In
order to securely and permanently protect warehouse storage areas from
being overloaded, HBM has developed the digital amplifier
VKIA405. Up to four analog load cells can be connected to the new
amplifier. The VKIA405 guarantees long-term stability of the storage
system as the digital weighing system enables monitoring of the storage
during ongoing operation, thereby preventing overloading of the storage
area. This application in storage lifts and automatic warehouses places
special requirements on measurement technology: Any maintenance would
interrupt the continuous removal and storage of goods, costing a lot of
money. Long-term stability is therefore the main criterion in the
selection of the right measurement and weighing technology. The VKIA
enables digi-tal measured value processing with long-term stable supply
voltage for the analog load cells. In addition, a HBM-tested off-center
load compensation network is integrated in the VKIA405, enabling a
simple installation of the system without additional wiring connection
boxes for the load cells. ... |

Reliable accuracy: HBM load cells in C6
quality! |
| |
|
HBM offers precix load cells with a maximum number of 6000
verification intervals in the legal-for-trade range as standard. The
accuracy of these load cells is also called C6 quality (in compliance
with OIML R60) and provides direct advantages over standard load cells
with 3000 verification intervals: * Cost savings through use of more
flexible load cells: Instead of using several scales for different
weighing ranges and accuracies, it will suffice to use a single scale
with precix! While, for example, a scale with a weighing range of 15 kg
and verification intervals of 5 g was required and, in addition, a scale
with 30 kg/10 g, it will now be sufficient to use a single scale with 30
kg/5 g that even works without verification interval changeover. *
Substantially higher weighing accuracy can also be achieved with
applications that do not require use of legal-for-trade scales. This
applies in particular to weighing processes involving temperature
variations. ... |

Weighing electronics determines truck
loads reliably and with high accuracy |
| |
 Complete
check-in and check-out scales for trucks can be easily implemented using
HBM’s new DIS2116 digital weighing electronics and C16i digital
load cells. In legal-for-trade mode, data is encrypted for transfer from
the load cells to the DIS2116. HBM is the first provider so far to
comply with the latest requirements of the MID EC directive (eg
implemented in WELMEC 7.2) for manipulation-safe data transfer from the
transducer to the downstream electronics. Save time. The weighing
electronics is easy to install as only a few software commands are
needed to integrate the DIS2116 into a host system. All information
required for legal-for-trade applications – such as dates, gross, net,
tare, manual tare – are held internally. Therefore your downstream
software no longer requires any special legal-for-trade functions.
DIS2116 features electronic off-center load compensation so that only a
single mass on each corner of the truck scales is needed for calibration
to compensate mechanical corner errors. This takes only a few minutes
compared with the two to three hours required for off-center load
compensation on conventional analog systems. Therefore, it often becomes
unnecessary to laboriously climb down into the weighing machine pit. ... |
