White paper provides insight on weighing technology
April 1st 2011 Avery Weigh-Tronix has produced a
white paper exploring weighing
technology.
It focuses on the development of
the weigh-bar, which it claims is up
to ten times more reliable than
loadcells.
First developed in the 1960s, the
weighbar is an all-electronic strain
gauge weight sensor designed to
measure the applied load accurately
without the problems associated
with other technology. It produces
reliable and repeatable readings,
while its weatherproof and
shockproof design allows it to
withstand environmental
challenges.
The white paper explains the
technology behind the weighbar and
how it overcomes issues such as end
loading, side loading and torsion. It
also outlines some more recent
advances in the technology. More articles from Avery Weigh-Tronix Limited: |
