Weighbridge Working Principle

Prime’s weighbridge consists of a sturdy platform, known as the weighbridge platform, constructed using reinforced concrete or steel. Load cells, which are sensors placed strategically beneath the platform, measure the force or weight applied by the vehicle. These load cells, typically made of materials like steel or aluminum, use strain gauges to convert the applied force into an electrical signal. The electrical signals from the load cells are collected and processed in an electronic junction box, which serves as a central point for signal aggregation and calibration. The junction box is connected to each load cell, and it ensures accurate measurement of the vehicle’s weight. The load cell signals are then summed up and processed to calculate the total weight.

 

To provide an interface for users, Prime’s weighbridge includes an indicator. The indicator displays the weight readings and allows the operator to interact with the system. It typically features a digital display, control buttons, and various settings for configuring the weighbridge operation. Before weighing, the vehicle is driven onto the weighbridge platform, ensuring that all the vehicle’s axles are fully supported. Once the vehicle is correctly positioned, the load cells measure the force or weight applied by the vehicle. The load cell signals are transmitted to the electronic junction box, where they are processed and summed up to calculate the total weight accurately.

 

To maintain accuracy, weighbridges need periodic calibration using known weights. This calibration process adjusts the load cell readings to match the actual weight standards. By periodically calibrating the system, accurate and reliable weight measurements can be ensured.

 

Prime’s weighbridge systems include software for data management. This software records and stores the weight measurements along with other relevant information, such as vehicle identification, date, and time. It can generate reports, perform data analysis, and integrate with other business systems to facilitate efficient management of weighing operations.
