Video of measuring system
The non-contact electro-optical system measures the volume and weight of bulk materials on the conveyor belt and transmits the results wirelessly to a PDA smartphone, from where the information is forwarded to the operator's computer. The measuring system has no moving or wearing parts, is maintenance-free and insensitive to vibration, wind, dust or temperature fluctuations. The inclination of the conveyor belt is immaterial for the non-contact scales, which are connected wirelessly to a smartphone enclosed. The mounting location for the frame with the optical sensors is often the end shaft of the conveyor, although there can also be an intermediate shaft, and the enclosed speed sensor is mounted separately on the axis of this shaft. The system is only calibrated once, no recalibration is required and the system can be installed on a conveyor in 3-4 hours
