LS-WIM axle scales
The Intercomp LS-WIM axle scale
performs highly accurate axle and
gross vehicle weighing under 6mph
(10km/h). This scale has been OIML
R134 approved and is available for
weight enforcement, low-speed
weight screening, industrial check
weighing, tolling (ETC) and
automated gate systems.
Incorporating strain gauge
technology as with the other scales
and sensors, this scale is installed in
a frame approximately 12in (315mm)
deep, the scale covers the width of
the lane.
In addition to the certification,
one of the most interesting attributes
of the LS-WIM axle scale is that it’s
available with weighing platform
sizes ranging from 10 ft (3m) up to
13 ft (4m) and 100,000 lb (45,000 kg)
axle capacities. This wide weighing
platform can accommodate wider
vehicles and simplify the process
for operators to direct vehicles across
the scales.
OIML on the move
Portable scales using the same strain
gauge technology meet both WIM
and static performance certification
to meet OIML and other regional
standards. Differing from the R134
standard, OIML R76 is the
international standard applied
when weighing vehicles statically.
Cutting edge low-profile strain gauge
technology enables the LP788
wheel load scale to be single-person
portable at 39 lb (17 kg), with a scale
platform height of only 0.85 in
(22mm). Deployed in sets of two or
more scales for weighing in portable
enforcement wherever vehicle
weighing is required, the scales
use solar charging and wirelessly
communicate with indicators and
software. The low profile makes it
easier and safer for vehicles to climb
onto the scales, now taking fully
digital scale technology and
integrating it into a highly portable
scale. Already NTEP approved for
enforcement use in the US,
certification testing for OIML R76
static is expected before 2019 is over.
Distinctive among vehicle
weighing device manufacturers,
Intercomp has scale and sensor
options for in-ground and portable
WIM and static scales and sensors
depending on the weighing
requirements. Where regional
or international certifications is
required, Intercomp is providing
performance tested and approved
products to acquire vehicle and
weight information. n
