checkweigher

Six years later he became a miner, and later a checkweigher.

A checkweigher can send a signal to the machine to increase or decrease the amount put into a package.

An alternative is to program the checkweigher to check bands of different weight tolerances.

See checkweigher case study outlining ground beef and packaging savings.

A typical checkweigher usually has a bin to collect the out-of-tolerance packs.

This can result in a payback associated with the checkweigher since producers will be better able to control the amount of give-away.

A checkweigher is an automatic or manual machine for checking the weight of packaged commodities.

An automatic checkweigher incorporates a series of conveyor belts.

A dynamic, in-motion checkweigher takes samples, and analyzes them to form an accurate weight over a given time period.

The technological change made was to take a commercially available checkweigher and replace the standard electronics with a microprocessor controller.

Speed and accuracy that can be achieved by a checkweigher is influenced by the following:

A checkweigher can weigh in excess of 500 items per minute (depending on carton size and accuracy requirements).

An industrial motion checkweigher can sort products from a fraction of a gram to many, many kilograms.

In many cases a checkweigher has a light-tree with different lights to indicate the variation of the zone weight of each product.

In addition, many non-destructive inspections can be performed by a precision scale, or when in motion, a checkweigher.

See checkweigher.

Another application joins holographic scanners with a checkweigher to read bar codes of any orientation or placement, and weighs the package.

If you want to make sure your checkweigher has a Safeline metal detector on it contact Safeline.

This consists of a Noack 623 blister packer, Cam cartonner, checkweigher and automatic shrinkwrapper.

After an order has passed over the checkweigher, one carton from the order is diverted to an invoicing station where the invoice has been automatically generated.

EXAMPLE: A checkweigher is programmed to indicate 5 zones with resolution to 1 g:

He shared the platform with J. J. Gray, a checkweigher at the Tanfield Lea Colliery.

An in motion conveyor checkweigher can be used to detect missing pieces of a kit, such as a cell phone package that is missing the manual, or other collateral.

Forced to return to mining in 1917, he became checkweigher and in 1919 miners' agent to the Garw district of the South Wales Miners' Federation.
