Position: Belt Scale Introduction
Thermo Ramsey’s Series 17 Belt Scale System combines the time-proven reliability of our 10-17 Weighbridge and 60-12 Speed Sensor with the power and versatility of the advanced electronics in the Micro-Tech 2000 Series Integrators. While the electronics portion of the Series 17 is the same as our Series 20 (±1/2%) Scale System, a longer weighbridge design allows us to offer the Series 17 as a ±1/4% belt scale system. The Series 17 is available in either 2 or 4 idler versions.
The longer weighbridge means more scaleborne time and minimizes alignment errors, which translates into better accuracy. And the Series 17 Belt Scale System offers you something no one else can: the Micro- Tech 2000 Series belt scale controllers.
Applications
The Series 17 Belt Scale System is designed for plant and process operations which either run at higher rates of speed or require better-than-normal belt scale accuracy. The Series17 can monitor production output, control loadout of product and monitor inventory, while providing vital information for the management and operation of your business.
Thermo Ramsey introduced the first microprocessor-based belt scale in 1974. Since then, it has been our mission to create the most advanced, versatile and easy to use belt scales in the world. The Micro-Tech 2000 Series represents more than just the next generation of belt scale electronics. It signifies a new approach to scale instrumentation, giving you more flexibility and vastly increased upgrade capabilities.
Advanced
Each electronics model in the series is designed for a specific weighing application: belt scales, weigh feeders, impact weighers, static weighing systems, batch weighing systems, or loss in weight systems.
Because the Micro-Tech 2000 Series uses a common platform, you need to become familiar with only one basic interface.
Versatile
Operational flexibility is provided by the numerous programmable features. This lets you customize the electronics to your specific application needs.
Philosophy
Modern batch weighing equipment must be capable of interfacing with a variety of peripheral equipment for monitoring, supervisory control and data acquisition purposes. To accommodate these needs, Thermo Ramsey designed extraordinary communications capabilities into the Micro-Tech 2000 Series.
These communications capabilities let the Micro-Tech 2000 Series link to intelligent peripheral equipment such as computers, programmable logic controllers, printers, or network systems. The inputs and outputs can be used to drive relays, motor starters, lights, switches or accept inputs from magnetic card readers, micro switches, flow/no flow switches or push buttons.
