Lorenz’s load cells are designed to fit applications like industrial automation container filling and/or weighing. A load cell is installed in an automation line to help monitor equal distribution through packaging.
How it Works
- To ensure equal quantities of a product are distributed into each box, a load cell in conjunction with specific instrumentation has been installed.
- The load cell itself is connected to the hanging distribution container to monitor the weight of each load released into each box.
- Once the upper conveyor belt has dispensed enough product into the distribution container, the instrument connected to the load cell will trigger a relay causing that upper conveyor to stop.
- This then immediately causes another relay to trigger, which releases the gates of the hanging distribution container allowing its contents to fill the box below.
-
As soon as the gates of the distribution container close, the upper conveyor resumes motion, allowing for this automation process to begin again.
