‘Weighbridges’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Weighing system checks for radioactive loads from
Weightron Bilanciai, which we summarised at the time by saying "SafeWeigh is the latest innovation from industrial weighing specialist Weightron Bilanciai and is specifically designed for the detection of radioactivity in vehicle loads.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Digital load cell upgrades weighbridges from
Weightron Bilanciai: "The CPD digital load cell is part of the next generation of proven digital technology for modern weighbridge installations.".
In April 2006, we covered the news from Penko Engineering
- take a look at Rugged load cell has lab-level specifications
which says: "The Type 460 load cell addresses the requirements of the processing industry for higher accuracy weight and force measurement in demanding production environments.".
Take a look also at the news release from Weightron Bilanciai, Software adapts weighbridges for axle duties,
as well as Federation aims to clarify compliance issues from UK Weighing Federation,
and Website eases the search for data from London Electronics.
