The covering hood including a separate passage opening in an upper part of the covering hood for each load introduction pin. The covering hood can be connected to the individual load cell housings at each separate passage opening.

Abstract: A weighing device includes at least one weighing cell (3) disposed in a weighing cell housing (5) and a control cabinet (1). The control cabinet (1) includes a gas pressure control (7) to which can be connected a source with gas overpressure (9). The control cabinet (1) includes an outlet opening (11) through which the gas can exit. The control cabinet (1) is connected with the weighing cell housing (5) through a first connection (13) for supplying gas into the weighing cell housing (5), and through a second connection (15) for gas removal from the weighing cell housing (5). The gas pressure connection (7) is connected with the first connection (13) through a flow guide means (17), so that at least one part of a supplied gas first flows through an interior of the weighing cell housing and subsequently it exits through the outlet opening (11) of the control cabinet (1).

Abstract: Device for vibration compensation of weighing sensor weight signals, with a weighing signal branch having an analog/digital converter unit to which a weighing sensor analog weighing signal is fed, and that generates a digital weighing signal that contains discrete sample values of the sampled analog weighing signal of the weighing sensor. At least one compensation signal branch has an analog/digital converter unit to which an acceleration sensor analog noise quantity is fed for detecting a specified acceleration noise quantity, and that generates a digital noise quantity signal containing discrete sample values of the acceleration sensor analog noise quantity signal. The digital noise quantity signal is fed to an adaptive digital filter unit. An addition unit sums the signal values of the digital weighing signal and the signal values (carrying a negative sign) for the digital noise quantity signals fed to it.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a weighing device for determining the weight of discrete weighing products in a speed-independent manner, wherein a weighing chute comprising a sliding surface that is inclined with respect to the horizontal is fed detached weighing products, and the load introduction direction of a weighing cell supporting the weighing chute is aligned perpendicularly to the sliding surface.

Abstract: A housing for a weighing apparatus includes a bottom plate on which the weighing apparatus can be installed or which comprises part of the weighing apparatus. A surrounding elastic sealing element is located on the underside of the housing such that when the housing is placed in an installed position relative to a carrier element on which the weighing apparatus is connected, the bottom plate is sealed in an outside annular circumferential area of the underside of the bottom plate with respect to the surface of the carrier element. In the installed position, side walls of a housing upper part encompass the surrounding side wall of the bottom plate such that a lower front surface of the side walls impinges on an area of the sealing element which protrudes beyond the outside circumference of the bottom plate. This impingement seals the housing side walls with respect to the bottom plate.

Abstract: Transport device for a scale, in particular a dynamic scale that preferably operates with electromagnetic force compensation, with a weighing belt that forms a preload for a weighing cell. The weighing belt is constructed to transport materials to be weighed along the X-direction while weighing. The weighing belt receives the materials from a supply device arranged in an upstream inlet area, including a supply belt or supply rollers for supporting the materials and not forming a preload for the weighing cell. Two weighing-guide elements extending in the X-direction and forming a preload provide lateral support of the materials in the Y-direction to weigh the materials during the transport on the weighing belt in the leaning position. The minimum Y-distance between the weighing-guide elements is greater than the maximum extent of the materials in the Y-direction.

Abstract: The invention provides a weighing device for a production machine or installation and a method for weighing piece goods from a production machine or installation, which can be implemented in a space-saving manner and/or permit processing of piece goods within a large belt width in the format of the piece goods. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the weight of two or more piece goods (7?, 7?) and the weight which is varied by subsequent feeding or discharge of an individual piece good (7?) or a number of piece goods to be jointly weighed are detected from which the weight of an individual piece good (7?) or a number of piece goods to be jointly weighed is determined from the difference between the weights.
