Belt scale provides performance across applications
Tecweigh’s HDS (heavy-duty S-type load cell) belt scale system is designed for high-capacity, high-impact applications. Tecweigh says the scale frame is built to withstand harsh operating conditions, while its load cell design ensures consistent readings across a range of belt speeds and material flows. The HDS is available in configurations ranging from one to four idlers and comes standard with onboard static calibration weights that can be raised and lowered during conveyor operation. The load cell can be installed on new conveyors or retrofitted onto existing systems. When paired with the Tecweigh WP50 processor, the company says operators gain real-time insights into throughput, totals and system performance.
Volumetric tech allows for autonomous material recognition
Wingfield Scale Co. launched iD Point image recognition technology for use on its WingScan load scanner. According to Wingfield Scale, iD Point uses advanced machine learning and AI to identify what material is being moved on trucks and railcars and attach a material code to each measurement. Users upload images of any material, then run a “learning” step so the system can recognize it in real time. Wingfield Scale says iD Point makes WingScan a fully autonomous, multidimensional measurement system. iD Point is currently in prerelease as a WingScan add-on feature.
