Digital load cell for high speed checkweighing and filling

SCAIME, a World leader in load cells and weighing solutions, is introducing the AAD, its new digital load cell dedicated to dosing/filling management and dynamic checkweighing control. The AAD offers capacities from 5kg to 75kg and, with its aluminium construction, it reach an IP65 protection level. It integrates a powerful electronics allowing a transmission rate up to 1000 measurements per second with a maximum resolution of 500 000 points. To meet the needs of demanding and very high speed weighing applications, it uses a library of powerful digital filters dedicated to vibration noise cancellation.

The AAD is available with two integrated application software versions:

In dosing version, the AAD offers functionality dedicated to mono-product dosing/filling. According to parameters sent from a PLC, AAD manages a 2 feed dosing cycle by loading or unloading.

In checkweighing version, The AAD controls by itself the complete weight acquisition process, also taking in consideration external detectors signals. It carries out acquisition at very high speed and automatically calculate the dynamic weight value.

Each load cell includes 2 digital inputs and 4 outputs in order to control the process. It can easily be connected to all kinds of PLC’s with RS485 and CAN serial ports, using MODbus-RTU and CANopen protocols.

In order to make setup procedure easy, SCAIME is also providing the eNodView PC freeware. A user-friendly application that provides access to a measurement viewer as well as a multi-level digital filtering simulator. Especially designed for dynamic weighing and dosing, AAD offers a real guarantee for manufacturers looking to obtain the best solution for a quick and accurate weighing process of their filling, sorting or weighing machines.
