Weighing without wires
April 1st 2009 Ravas has introduced wireless
scale forks for forklift trucks,
reach trucks and narrow
aisle trucks. Since all
components are fully
integrated in the forks, iForks
have no external cabling and
the weighing system can be
installed in minutes – simply
plug and weigh. Every load
lifted is instantly and
accurately weighed.
Each scale fork
communicates the weight
lifted with the weight
indicator in the cabin via
Bluetooth. The system is
powered by exchangeable
battery modules. Units are
compact (fork dimensions
are 133 x 58mm) similar to
those of standard lift truck
forks and ensure the user
does not lose any handling
performance.
The weight indicator in
the cabin shows the weight
of the load on the forks and
offers a range of weighing
functions: gross/net
weighing, total weight per
shipment, code entry, date/
time registration, and piece
counting. The indicator can
provide weight data transfer
to a printer, data terminal,
or directly to a WMS or ERP
system, via RS232,
Bluetooth or WiFi. More articles from Ravas UK Ltd: |
