Weighing by Electronic Weighbridges

Electronic Weighbridges are a boon for weighing heavy loads. It is a difficult, costly and time-consuming process to weigh heavy loads using normal balances and scales. Lifting of loads, placing them with proper stability and balance, taking readings is a tedious process. In many cases when the loads are too huge such as loaded trucks or wagons, weighing becomes all the more difficult. With a weighbridge mechanism, such type of weighing has become easier and convenient. Weighbridges are available in various types and models.

Double-ended shear-beam type loadcells specially designed for weighbridge applications enable the weighing of vertical as well as horizontal load components. The Unilink floating assembly for the loadcell allows a controlled floating assembly of the platform. Weighbridges have various striking features that give them an upper hand over traditional weighing. These are hermetically sealed, no constrainers are required. These are very easy to mount. There is heavy preparation required. Simple foundation work is sufficient.

Working with weighbridges requires mounting of loads on the platform. Once the load is placed on the bridge, weighing is done digitally and is displayed on screens attached. The platforms of these weighbridges are sturdy and strong, made of steel and they provide a safeguard against lateral and sway movements. Platforms are available in two types viz. Pit-type and pitless type. These options can be chosen as per the space availability. Pit type weighbridges can be flushed to ground level. No ramp is required for these and hence are suitable if there are space limitations.

Pitless weighbridge are surface mounted and hence are very economical. Their maintenance is easy as the platform is completely above ground level. They have to approach by low angle ramps.

The Pitless weighbridge terminals are designed to withstand all environmental conditions prevalent in the weigh-cabin. No air-conditioning is required. The SIC indicator is interfaced with a keyboard that is custom-built and user-friendly. The terminal is equipped to print a ticket without a PC. The entire set is handy and easy to install and operate.

Due to the use of digital load cells, lifting weights is possible completely with the help of machines and this saves a lot of labor costs.

Weighbridges are a welcome invention to speed up the weighing process and they also assure accuracy and convenient usage.

Weighbridges are used to weigh heavy loads. In cases of trucks loaded with goods or huge machinery, weighing is an ordeal. If the weights have to lifted and weighed or have to be balanced, it is very tedious. It requires a lot of manpower too.

Weighbridges have facilitated this weighing procedure. These are available in U-beam type, Pit-type, and Pit-less type to suit variant weighing requirements. All of these types are wonderful electronic advancements. All of the weighbridges are designed to endure all types of weather conditions prevailing in the weigh-cabin. The SIC indicator is interfaced with a standard keyboard and hence has an advantage over the feather-touch types. These machines are extremely user-friendly. The terminal is equipped to provide detailed print tickets using a computer.

The installation of this weighing is easy. No calibration or corner correction is required at the site. Digital display directly sends weights to further portal.

The highly sophisticated electronic machine, greatly saves time, effort and money involved in employing manual labor required to lift and place the weights physically at each corner of the platform for cornering and calibration.

Digital loadcells provided in the electronic weighbridges can weight vertical as well as horizontal load components. The sturdy, huge platform, digital loadcells, U-beam structure, pit/pit-less varieties to suit available space and calibrated machine with a digital display make weighbridges quick, easy and reliable weighing applications.
