First of all, what is an on-board scale system?
An on-board scale is actually a load control device that can calculate the weight of material transported using a wheel loader (or other equipment). This makes it possible to know the quantity of actual material transported.
The installation of an on-board scale makes it possible to carry out optimized loadings by carrying out a simple and effective weighing on the spot. This allows to avoid overloads or unused capacity.
The accuracy of an on-board scale has a direct impact on its efficiency. An improperly calibrated scale can cause a lot of problems!
Here is why it is important to calibrate your on-board scale once a year:
- To ensure that the components of the system are in good condition. Note that a damaged part can affect accuracy.
- Because the truck scale (weighbridge) is calibrated every year. This therefore makes it possible to synchronize the precision of the on-board scale with the weighbridge. Note that it is calibrated according to Canadian weight and measurement standards.
- Because a improperly calibrated scale (whatever the reason) is very expensive for a company! A deviation of 0.5% of accuracy can lead to huge losses.
- The working environment (cold / hot / humidity / snow) affects the performance of the system over time.
- When a hydraulic component of the system is replaced (maintenance and / or repair), a new calibration of the system is required.
Do you need a new calibration for your scale?
