Completely digital measurement chain from load cell to software

With the new strain gauge (SG)-based FIT7A load cell family and PaneIX data acquisition and analysis software, HBM offers a fully digital measurement chain for dynamic weighing processes.

The demand for load cells that work precisely and quickly and offer affordable and comprehensive solutions for dynamic weighing, sorting, filling and batching is growing rapidly. HBM Test and Measurement (HBM) has developed the FIT7A digital load cell family in response to high demand worldwide. The strain gauge-based FIT7A load cell is primarily designed for dynamic weighing of packaged goods in checkweighers. Depending on the design of the machine, more than 180 weighings per minute can be achieved for nominal loads of 3 to 75 kilograms. FIT7A complies with accuracy class C4 and can be used safely and reliably in harsh conditions with IP66 protection.

The hermetically sealed FIT5A digital load cell is especially suitable for filling processes of liquids and bulk solids, such as in bottles or cans. Both FIT7A and FIT5A impress with high torsional and bending stiffness and offer integrated overload protection. The load cells are available with various digital interfaces and enable external process control using four control outputs and two inputs. The intuitive PanelX software with touch control and analysis and documentation functions completes the digital measurement chain.

The strain gauge-based load cells of the FIT7A family now available are thus a first-class and cost-effective solution for precise, fast, durable and reliable dynamic weighing - in numerous applications.
