LCB load cell digitizer: plastic version and hygienic version

TLC is "mini" in its dimensions and price, but without sacrificing any features.

▷ SMALL AND AFFORDABLE

The TLC, with its dimensions of 45 x 26 x 11 mm in the board only version, is the most compact and cost-effective of our analog weight transmitters.

If space is limited and/or you need to reduce costs (e.g., for mass production or smart weighing), it is the ideal solution for creating applications with multiple independent weighing systems connected to a single PLC via analog output, but which do not require special technical performance.

▷ VERSATILE

The TLC adapts to any type of application and is available on request in 2 additional versions:

• IP67 ABS enclosure version for protection againsta water and dust;
• circular board version, even smaller and more affordable, with a diameter of only 20 mm.

▷ COMPLETE

In its simplicity, the TLC is equipped with all the essential features:

• analog output in current (4-20 mA) or voltage (0-10 VDC);
• connection of up to 4 load cells in parallel;
• compatible with the analog/digital boards of any PLC;
• rated output selection with mini switches, in a range between 1 mV/V and 3 mV/V;
• 12-turn potentiometer for zero and full-scale adjustment.

It is also the only one of our transmitter that features spring terminal blocks for faster and more secure wiring in case of transport after calibration and/or exposure to vibrations.

The LAUMAS calibration laboratory LAT N.02141, accredited by Accredia (the Sole National Organization for accreditation designated by the italian government) is in compliance with the international standard ISO/IEC 17025 "General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories".

The laboratory offers various services for the calibration and quality control of weighing components:

▷ ACCREDITED CALIBRATIONS

The laboratory performs accredited calibrations for forces from 2 kN to 100 kN, carried out in compression and tension, of load cells with capacities from 1000 kg to 10,000 kg with or without a connected weight indicator or transmitter.

Calibration can be requested either when purchaising new products or for components already in use, of any manufacturer.

The accreditation attests the competence, independence and impartiality of the laboratory and ensures the metrological correctness of the methods of measurement used (specifically, our procedures follow standards ISO 376 and ASTM E74).

The Accredia calibration certificate issued by LAUMAS is an official document recognized worldwide because it is covered by the EA Mutual Recognition (valid in Europe), IAF (international) and ILAC (international).

▷ CALIBRATION REPORTS

The laboratory also performs calibration tests valid for quality control for the purposes of the standards UNI EN ISO 9001.

The calibrations are performed on load cells with capacities up to 500,000 kg (5000 kN) in compression and up to 60,000 kg (600 kN) in tension.

They are performed at ambient temperature and, in request, for forces up to 100 kN (10,000 kg), they can also be carried out at temperatures of between -20 °C and +200 °C.

Unlike accredited calibrations, these are performed using metrological procedures inside the laboratory, therefore their result do not have the value of an officially recognized document.

The hygienic line was created with the aim of providing prefectly sanitizable, certified, hygienic weighing systems for all those sectors where hygiene is a necessary or important requirement, such as food and dairy products or the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.

The most important feature of hygienic products is the possibility of being sanitized, ensured by several factors:

→ DESIGN

Perfectly smooth surfaces, always inclined and equipped with drainage corners and joined edges, which make all the prducts easy to inspect and wash.

→ MATERIALS

Selected and certified in every detail: stainless steel, seals made of food-grade silicon, food contact cable.

→ PROTECTION RATING

Between IP67 and IP69K.

ALL THE COMPONENTS OF THE HYGIENIC LINE
