Smarter weighing with the digital load cell

This paper charts the development history of Avery Berkel's T301 digital power cell, which represents a major advance in industrial weighing technology. Traditional analogue load cells ore capable of excellent weighing performance, although achieving this level of performance can be problematic. The T301 differs from conventional load cells because it converts the weight signal to a digital output in order to achieve consistently high levels of accuracy. The paper compares the performance of traditional analogue load cells with the digital power cell and outlines the many benefits of digital power for the end user.
