A load sensor cannot distinguish between the "meaningful"
force of material weight and other forces. THAYER Weighbelt
Feeders are engineered to isolate the load sensor from these
other forces, which affect repeatability for highly accurate
weighing.
Dead
weight is mass counterbalanced, so we can custom-size load
sensor range to match application needs. To illustrate the
benefit, imagine weighing a small package first on a truck
scale and then on a postal scale. Although both are sensitive
scales, only the postal scale range matches the application
and therefore provides far more accurate results.
Excessive
belt tension forces are eliminated by our head pulley drive
and low deflection scale. Friction is defeated by using
precision rollers instead of slider decks. Torsional forces,
caused by off center loading and side forces, are decoupled
from the true force transmission by our flexure-based lever
system.
Force
vector isolation is a Thayer Scale technological advantage.
It is one of the best reasons to buy from the weigh feeder
experts at Thayer.
