Black & Decker the well known power tool manufacturer came to us requiring a weighing system with audible and visual alarms.

Part of Black & Deckers process required them to inject a liquid into their machines when moulding products. Their current system didn’t give them any feedback as to how empty or full the canisters were. This led to the process being stopped and valuable time wasted when the vessels became empty. The manufacturing process was delayed by empty tanks as air was injected instead of the compound, this meant clearing the system adding to the time wasted.

Our solution was to fit six weighing scales under each vessel that operated an all in one beacon and siren via relay setpoints. The relays were set a pre-determined value that tripped the relays and set off the beacon and sirens alerting the operator to a vessel that was becoming close to empty,

Our solution has saved Black & Decker valuable time and money for a small initial capital outlay.

We are used to developing simple solutions to weighing scale problems.

The system comprised of the following:
6 x Ohaus Defender 5000 Indicator with DC relay output board
6 x Ohaus Defender 3000 100kg platform
6 x Flashtone red base with red xenon lens
