Having the correct load cells in any scale and weighing system is critical for accuracy, ease of calibration as well as for a long life cycle with minimal downtime and repairs. When load cells are not accurate or are not designed to stand up to the demands of the job, errors are made, downtime is problematic, and the company ends up losing money.
Top load cell manufacturers strive to create a product that is long lasting, accurate and dependable even in very difficult working environments. To accomplish this, they offer different options in load cells including single point, brick type, tension, compression and even scales that are designed to weigh low capacity loads or those designed for extremely high capacity weighing requirements.
Ease of Installation
Look to load cell manufacturers offering products that are designed to not only perform in the specific working environment but also provide easy installation. Many of the top manufacturers offer load cells that can be easily installed, calibrated and even have built-in features to reduce vibration and to make maintenance and ease of replacing just as simple.
Calibration
One of the advantages offered by load cell manufacturers with an eye to helping a company increase efficiency and production is a cell that can be calibrated through software, eliminating the need for the use of test weights for initial installation or future calibrations.
Not only does this make the calibration process easy, but it also allows for much faster startup after the initial installation. This eliminates the needs to have test weights on hand as well, further saving this cost.
The best manufacturers will also stand behind the load cells they produce. They offer full customer support and services and work with your team to ensure the right load cell is ordered for your scale and weighing system needs.
