In many large and medium-sized production and trading enterprises, belt conveyors are commonly used for material handling, and electronic belt scales are employed as measuring instruments when the belt conveyors transport materials. Electronic belt scales are not strict about the density of bulk materials transported by belt conveyors and do not require the interruption of conveyor operations. They offer high measurement efficiency and accuracy, providing comprehensive data support for management.
For electronic belt scales to function effectively and bring more benefits to enterprises, it is crucial that they provide the required accuracy, maintain stability, and operate continuously during actual use. If a belt scale cannot meet the required accuracy or sustain long-term application, its practical value is negligible.
However, in practical applications, due to the high sensitivity of electronic belt scales and their use in harsh industrial environments or outdoors, there are many interference factors. Additionally, inadequate user training often leads to improper operation, resulting in the belt scales failing to achieve the desired accuracy, poor stability, and high failure rates, thus unable to meet the long-term measurement needs of the site.
Facing the errors that arise during the actual use of electronic belt scales, how to avoid and resolve them has always been a challenge for users. To address these issues, 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 classified into two categories: random errors and systematic errors.
Random errors in 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 components, force measurement conversion, calculation methods, mechanical and electrical errors, etc.
To avoid this issue, it is important to comprehensively consider the belt scale manufacturer and its products when purchasing, rather than solely focusing on the 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, as well as the sealing of sensors and instruments. The quality of the sensor cores and the use of high-performance instruments are also crucial. The structure and technology of the belt scale and its components determine the random errors in its subsequent use. Higher performance and a stable, reasonable structure enhance its ability to resist interference factors, leading to higher accuracy and stability during use.
Systematic errors in the use of electronic belt scales mainly stem from installation, the onsite environment, belt conveyor conditions, debugging proficiency, operation, and maintenance. They involve a wide range of factors and are more complex.
To address systematic errors in the use of electronic belt scales, multiple aspects must be considered. Firstly, the electronic belt scale must be installed correctly and reasonably, including the installation position, verification, and debugging during installation. It is best to have professional technicians guide the installation. Secondly, proper operation is essential after the installation of the belt scale.
To ensure correct and reasonable operation by the operators, training should be provided to ensure users can independently operate the equipment. Thirdly, regular maintenance and verification are indispensable. Users should establish a series of maintenance procedures to ensure that the belt scale is regularly verified and maintained. 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.
