Electronic weighbridges are a type of scale used for weighing heavy vehicles and their loads. Unlike traditional mechanical weighbridges, which use levers and springs, electronic weighbridges rely on digital sensors and electronics to measure weight.
Here's a rundown of how they work and their benefits :
- How They Work :
- A. Load Cells : At the core of an electronic weighbridge are load cells. These are sensors that convert the weight of the vehicle and its load into an electrical signal.
- B. Signal Processing : The electrical signals from the load cells are sent to a digital indicator or controller. This device processes the signals and converts them into a weight reading.
- C. Display : The weight is then displayed on a digital screen
