HBM Amplifier Prevents Overloading In Warehouses

HBM has developed a digital amplifier that securely and permanently protects warehouse storage areas from overloading. The VKIA405 amplifier ensures the long-term stability of a storage system because it enables the monitoring of loads during operations and prevents any possibility of overloading in the storage area. Up to four analogue load cells can be connected to the new amplifier.

Storage lifts and automatic warehouses require special considerations for measurement technology, which is intended to minimise maintenance downtime. Maintenance interrupts continuous operations such as the removal and storage of goods, leading to high costs. It is important that long-term stability is a main criterion in the selection of measurement and weighing technology for these applications. The VKIA enables digital measured value processing with long-term stable supply voltage for the analogue load cells.

An HBM-tested off-centre load compensation network is integrated into the VKIA405 that simplifies installation as no additional wiring connection boxes for the load cells are needed. The VKIA405 is fitted with a serial RS485 interface, ensuring integration with the control and data processing system of a warehouse. A typical use of the VKIA405 is to integrate the amplifier and corresponding load cells at the charging station so they are part of the material flow. It is also suitable for simple weighing and monitoring tasks beyond legal-for-trade requirements.
