OverviewCustom OEM load sensors and instruments are designed to meet specific OEM requirements for replacing or modernizing existing equipment. These sensors offer in-stream weight measurement and can incorporate custom mechanical brackets, embedded electronics and tailored communication protocols to integrate seamlessly with vehicle, machine or instrument control systems.
Key Features- Custom production capabilities for small to large volumes
- Mechanical, bracket and electronic sensor design adapted to application constraints
- Secure and reliable global shipping
- Global customer support available 24/7, 365 days a year
- Embedded electronics options supporting CANbus, Modbus, Full Duplex RS485 and other protocols
Applications- Construction: prevents overloading of aerial work platforms, scissor lifts, telescopic handlers and cranes with real-time monitoring to avoid structural damage and accidents
- Medical: suitable for medical beds, patient lifts, medical scales and dialysis machines; custom designs can be certified to OIML and NTEP where required
- Agriculture: monitoring crop weight and inputs; fitment for tractors, balers, fertilizer spreaders and combines
- Robotics and automation: sensors tailored to monitor motion, position, grip and force across industrial automation systems
Custom Load Sensor Development Process- 1. Concept — collaboration with OEMs to define sensor requirements, mounting and data communication needs
- 2. Design — concept design and prototype development built to application specifications
- 3. Quality Assurance and Documentation — manufacturing validation, regulatory compliance checks and quotation
- 4. Production — finalized product enters series production and integration after functional and compliance approval
