Get the Right Indicator for Your Pressure Transducers

Loadcell

The Pressure Transducers, can be configured, for Forklifts, Loaders & Trucks, by changing the indicators. You need an onboard weighing solution, that works with you. For this reason, AWE customizes the software and configure so it compliments your work processes.

You’re not locked into one Indicator, You will have the choice of  GS100P, Safe Weigh and Weight Master Totaliser.. So you’ll get the right indicator for the job. So you will able to to configure your data to what you need to run your business. AWE designs and writes customized software, that works with your processes, rather than making you change your systems to suit Out of the box software. Customized outputs allows your indicator to send & format your data.

Don’t worry you don’t have to be a computer programmer to operate your Onboard Weighing System.

GS100P Indicators For Trucks

GS100P is very power full indicator with compact size and can be easily mounted in the driver cabin.

  • This is the Pressure Transducers of AWE Group
  • This is the Pressure Transducers of AWE Group

✓ It can be powered using the truck battery.
✓ With multiple load cell system you can have a summing box for averaging the input from all load cells to single output, allowing individual Axle Weights, Totals, Groups, Gross/Net etc.
✓ This output is connected to GS100P for digital weight display of the entire system.
✓ It is Pre-calibrated for 0-10,000 counts (2mV/V sensor gain at full scale).
✓ Can be re calibrated using the auto (apply mass) or mV/V method.
✓ Adjustable zero offset and span.
✓ Easy setup Intuitive text prompts facilitate easy setup
✓ Security Calibration and set point functions have independent security code access.
✓ Set points can be used to define the overload and activate alarm system via 4 relay outputs.
✓ Can customize outputs, to suit your requirements
✓ Assured Quality. Through experience, design and in-house production control. Also each Indicator is shipped with a signed and numbered quality certificate.
✓ Weight Indicators of Choice. Gedge Systems Weight Indicators are chosen by more Major Australian Weighbridge & Scale Manufacturers than any other Brand – and for good reason:- Quality, Reliability, Accuracy, Australian Made

Safeweigh Indicator For Forklifts

The ‘Safe Weigh’ onboard weighing system is specially designed to handle Australian needs and conditions. The tough digital solution to your onboard weighing needs.

✓ No Loss Of Lifting Capability
✓ Type Digital with microprocessor control
✓ Capacity Suitable for most forklifts and loaders
✓ Accuracy ±1% of capacity (e.g. if lift capacity is 1000kg then accuracy is 10 kg)

Hermetically Sealed Load Cell

Loadcell

The heart of any Weighbridge is the Load Cell. The load cells are highly accurate transducers, designed to sense force or weight under a wide range of adverse conditions. They’re the most essential part of an electronic weighing system, but also the most vulnerable. The sensing or spring element is designed in such a way it develops a strain, directly proportional to the load applied.

 

The strain gauges, are usually connected in a multiple of four, called a Wheatstone bridge configuration. This converts the very small change in resistance into a usable electrical signal.

 

Load cells may be damaged because of (shock) overloading, lightning strikes or heavy surges in current, chemical or moisture ingress, mis-handling (dropping, lifting on cable, etc.),vibration, seismic events or internal component malfunctioning. The load cell needs to be properly sealed against the environment.

  • Our Hermetically sealed, stainless steel load cells are made from 17-4PH stainless steel – which offers the best performance qualities of any stainless alloy. Hermetically sealed, stainless steel load cells are more expensive than other load cells due to the additional costs of sealing the load cell.
  • Hermetic sealing will ensure the integrity of your strain gauge section of the cell in corrosive or washdown applications. A true hermetically sealed load cell incorporates a welded header cover over the gauge cavity where the cable is attached. The welded header is the key to preventing moisture penetrating the inner load cell
  • Watch out for potted loadcells that are only designed for “normal” environmental factors encountered in indoor or protected outdoor weighing applications.
  • If you choose to use a non-hermetic cell to save some dollars, in a washdown application, and you have to keep changing the loadcell due to failure from moisture, then the cost is much greater than using a hermetically sealed load cell in the first place.
