As part of an on-going research project, planned to coincide with a regular national exhibition, Interface was asked to design a roll-on/roll-off weighing platform portable enough to be transported and installed by one person The requirement called for a platform 2m by 2m with a centre section height of only 35mm, having a maximum capacity of 1000kg with a resolution of better than 500g

Calibration software in WindowsT format
The highly regarded Gold Standard Calibration software from Interface is now offered in a WindowsT format with increased functionality.
Using two 2m length weighbars with integral load cells and suspending four individual 2m x 0.5m panels to form a rigid centre section arrived at the solution to the question of portability.
Each weighbar was fitted with different connectors to prevent incorrect connection and the five-digit display unit was linked to the platform using a 5m cable.
The dismantled platform with all accessories was easily transported in a standard panel van.
Due to the Interface platforms being manufactured to order, specialist sizes and applications create no problems for manufacturing and at no extra cost.
All electronics can be incorporated including mains/battery powered display units with or without PC interfacing and have the option of ultra high accuracy specifications.
