HBK has introduced a plug and play customisable load cell measurement chain (LCMC) allowing users to tailor their measurement system to meet individual needs
The LCMC is a combination of an HBK load cell and an amplifier unit. With a selection of 14 available load cells, users can select the one that best suits their requirements and pair it with a common amplifier unit, including IO-Link.
The chain gives users the potential for creating over 11,000 unique configurations. This standardised approach ensures a precise match for specific measurement needs.
Customization: Users can tailor their measurement chain by selecting the load cell and interface that best suits their machine or process requirements. The LCMC seamlessly integrates into existing infrastructure, providing a method that perfectly fits into established workflows.
IO-Link compatibility: All 14 load cells are available with IO-Link technology, offering advantages such as smart functions (pre-processing of data, self-monitoring, and warnings), bidirectional sensor communication, and easy installation.
Multiple purposes: The same amplifier electronics can be used for various load cells, streamlining processes and procurement. This versatility enhances efficiency and flexibility in day-to-day operations.
