MotoWeigh in-motion weighing systems offer a broad selection of features and options to maximize efficiency. Find incredible accuracy and speed in a system that’s designed for frequent and easy cleaning.

The Motoweigh dynamic in-motion checkweighing system is a continuous process weighing instrument which can be used for product sortation and data collection. The system averages the weights on the scale, displays the averaged weight, and sends the average weight information out using the DSCI (Dynamic Conveyor Scale Integrator) using a serial port.

The system utilizes the following main components:

  • A scale merged with a conveyor and drive mechanism.
  • Two photo eyes to trigger start and stop operation.
  • An integrator (920i HMI) linked and programmed to average the weight signal at the rate of 60 times per second between the start and stop photo eye inputs.

After the object passes in front of the entrance photo eye, it starts the scale integrator (920i), averaging the weight on the scale. At this time, the scale display shows dashes [ - - - - ]. The object proceeds down the scale conveyor until it passes in front of the exit photo eye, at which time the integrator’s averaging process is stopped and the averaged weight is displayed.

A smooth product transition and matching belt speeds are absolutely necessary to achieve accurate results. Photo eyes and reflectors must be kept clean for optimal performance. Even though the equipment is wash down rated, extreme water pressure should be avoided around the electronic components.
