SCOTPLANT 2014 will see RDS Scotland debuting the new LOADMASTER a100 on-board weighing system that is described by the UK based manufacturer as being the new industry benchmark in terms of accuracy and ease of use in difficult conditions and terrains.
The RDS LOADMASTER a100 is an all-new CAN based system combining cutting edge sensor technology and signal processing techniques providing precise and consistent weight information. With the ever increasing focus on productivity, LOADMASTER a100 has been designed to operate within the fastest loading environments and toughest of conditions compensating for uneven, sloped ground and restricted loading areas reducing cycle times and maximising tons per hour performance.
Loading correctly first time eradicates return trips to the stockpile, reducing vehicle movement, fuel usage and machine & tyre wear.
The new RDS LOADMASTER a100 uses a 7” colour, resistive touch screen display and additional physical keys providing a modern and ergonomic operator interface.
Suitable for use with up to 10 different attachments e.g. buckets or forks, the system can be retrofitted onto wheeled, telescopic and tractor type loaders.
The system continually measures hydraulic pressure using up to 4 sensors. The pressure signals are captured and filtered through a weighing ‘arc’ provided by inclination sensors measuring the angle of the main boom.
All signals are processed in the RDS Smart Box and the resultant weight calculation is sent to the terminal mounted in the cabin.
SQL database capability with up to 8 reference fieldsproviding virtually unlimited inputs of products, customers, trucks, hauliers, locations, destinations, mix blends and notes. There is a blend facility with an infinite number of mixes and products.
Video input for switching head unit into reversing camera mode removes the need for additional screen, releasing valuable cab space.
RDS will also be exhibiting the Loadmaster iX range of weighing systems, now with temperature and angle compensation as standard, as well as the trade-approvable Loadmaster 9000i. When fitted to a wheeled loading shovel, this on-board weighing scale effectively transforms the loader into a mobile weighbridge which conforms to MID Class Y (b) levels of accuracy.
Also on show at Scotplant will be the Liftlog 100+. Designed specifically for forklift trucks it offers weighing & load monitoring functions with an internal alarm to warn when load threshold is approached and at the overload point. The Liftlog 100+ also offers a totalising feature. Negating the need to travel to a floor-mounted platform scale often sited in a remote part of the warehouse, the Liftlog 100+ provides a time-efficient means of check weighing.
