Measuring at the yoke
Measurement on the yoke is a cost-effective solution because only one sensor is required, which can be easily mounted without mechanical modifications. At the same time, the accuracy can be significantly increased by connecting a second sensor to the evaluation unit. The sensors are overload-proof, and the method is suitable for modernizations and for new installations. Highly sensitive sensors are available for yoke measurements with particularly low elongation, and sensors with a length of only 100 (instead of 300) millimeters are available for particularly short yokes. Measurements can be made from 300 kg to 5 t.
Measurement under the cabin floor
Measurement at the booth floor enables maximum measurement accuracy. Thus, zero load measurements are accurate to within 5kg to detect empty booths with certainty. Due to the high resolution of the sensors (1:1000), small loads (e.g. 240kg) can be measured just as accurately as large loads (up to 10 t).
Measurement underneath the motor frame
Measurement under the motor frame is particularly effective for new installations, but it is also an interesting alternative for modernizations. Installation is child’s play and only short cables need to be laid from the measuring point to the controller. The measurement can be carried out with two sensors and is therefore particularly cost-effective. At the same time, there is the simple option of increasing the accuracy of the results comparatively easily by adding further sensors. The sensors are overload-proof.
Load measuring interfaces
Evaluation units from X-SENSORS convert the measured values from sensors into current, voltage, frequency, LONbus and relay output. The electronics carries out a zero point correction through the floor detection for particularly precise measurement results. Furthermore, the evaluation units have a programmable slack rope detection.
