Why do errors often occur during the use of electronic belt scales? How to avoid and resolve them?

In large and medium-sized production and trading enterprises, belt conveyors are commonly used for material transportation, and electronic belt scales are utilized as measurement instruments when the belt conveyors transport materials. Electronic belt scales are advantageous because they do not have strict requirements on the density of bulk materials transported by belt conveyors, do not need to interrupt the operation of belt conveyors, offer high measurement efficiency and accuracy, and provide comprehensive data support for management.

For electronic belt scales to function effectively and bring more benefits to enterprises, it is crucial that they can provide the required accuracy, maintain stability, and operate continuously during actual use. If a belt scale cannot meet the required accuracy or cannot sustain long-term application, its practical value is questionable.

However, in practical applications, due to the high sensitivity of electronic belt scales and their use in harsh industrial environments or outdoors where there are many interference factors, coupled with inadequate user training leading to improper operation, the belt scales often fail to achieve the desired accuracy, suffer from poor stability, and have high failure rates, unable to meet the long-term measurement needs of the usage site.

Facing the errors that occur during the actual use of electronic belt scales, how to avoid and resolve them has always been a problem for users. To address the issues during use, it is necessary to analyze their causes and take corresponding measures. The causes of errors during the use of electronic belt scales can be generally divided into two categories: random errors and systematic errors.

Random errors during the use of electronic belt scales mainly originate from the product itself, including the quality and working mode of the scale frame, the performance of component parts, force measurement conversion, calculation methods, mechanical and electrical errors, etc.

To avoid this issue, the key lies in comprehensively evaluating the belt scale manufacturers and their products when purchasing electronic belt scales, rather than solely pursuing price. Considerations should include the durability of the materials and structures of the belt scale components, such as the stability, wear resistance, and impact resistance of the scale frame, the sealing of sensors and instruments, the quality of the sensor cores used, and the adoption of high-performance instruments. The structure and technology of the belt scale and its components determine the random errors in its subsequent use. Higher performance and more stable and reasonable structure enhance its ability to resist interference factors during use, resulting in higher accuracy and stability.

Systematic errors during the use of electronic belt scales mainly come from installation, the usage environment, belt conveyor conditions, debugging proficiency, operation, and maintenance, covering a wide range and being more complex.

To resolve systematic errors during the use of electronic belt scales, multiple aspects need to be addressed. Firstly, the electronic belt scale must be installed correctly and reasonably, including the installation position, calibration, and debugging during installation, preferably with the guidance of professional technicians. Secondly, correct and reasonable operation is required after the installation of the belt scale. To ensure that operators can operate the equipment correctly and reasonably, they should receive training to ensure independent operation. Thirdly, routine reasonable maintenance and calibration are essential. Users should establish a series of maintenance procedures to ensure regular calibration and routine maintenance of the belt scale. Finally, the application conditions of the belt scale should also be monitored, such as the tension and slipping of the belt conveyor, and technical measures should be taken.
