Application of the structure measuring

The DIGI SENS technology of measuring the structure makes a lot of applications possible which are individually suited to the wishes of our clients. It is an alternative to the conventional load cell. The main concept is to deduce the weight by measuring the tension of an installation. Two of the advantages of this system are that it has a better price-performance ratio compared to the other systems, and that it is very easy to install and to maintain.  DIGI SENS is capable to develop and offer finished and verified solutions to problems of clients in house under real circumstances.

One application example of the structure measuring technology are the integrated sensors in salt-spreader vehicles from NIDO. The DIGI SENS sensor is placed into the structure of the salt tub on the truck. The tension enables us to determine the salt content in the tog. Furthermore, the strew-dosage system can be controlled. The sensors in the salt-spreader vehicles are replaceable without removing the construction and make proof of extreme robustness, so that they resist any weather and all sorts of circumstances.

With the help of the measuring of the structure technology, there was also found a solution for the Bucher Guyer Corporation. The sidewalk-and street sweepers from the Bucher Guyer Corporation are designed for a weight of 4.5 tons. However, there are rules, which do not allow vehicles weighing over 3.5 tons on the sidewalks. With installed DIGI SENS sensors, which deduce the total load by measuring the tension, the driver is alerted whenever the load-limit is exceeded. He can leave the sidewalk in time and use the left capacity on the street. In this application our costumers also drive benefit of the high stability and the simplicity to install and to maintain the DIGI SENS sensors.

One other application of the structure measuring technology is in the cable railways. By the use of weights, changes in the tension of the cables can be avoided, whenever they are loaded. The DIGI SENS sensor makes sure that the tension equalization functions. This system guarantees high security, because it disposes of an automatic checking. With other passive measuring systems, there is the possibility that a wrong signal is broadcasted which implies a security risk. If the measurement of DIGI SENS Sensors is derogated, no signal will be broadcasted, and therefore, the situation can be evaluated accurately. Another considerable advantage of the DIGI SENS sensors is that it is not a question of production run; hence not the entire system is affected if a dysfunction occurs. While load cells derogate the whole system, there is no retroactivity on the entire system with the structure measuring system, which again contributes to a higher security.
