subject: POWERCELL PDX Load Cells Protect Your Profits [print this page] In 1988, METTLER TOLEDO introduced the POWERCELL load cell, the digital load cell for vehicle scale applications. It was a huge innovation for an industry that was still in analog mode. By providing unmatched accuracy and reliability, the POWERCELL load cell set the standard for vehicle weighing.
With nearly one million in service worldwide, the METTLER TOLEDO line of POWERCELL load cells continues to demonstrate the ability to perform in the toughest environments and the most unforgiving climates. From the frozen polar regions to the scorching heat of the desert and the wet conditions of the tropics, POWERCELL load cells have a proven history of accurate and reliable weighing.
METTLER TOLEDO is changing the game again with the new POWERCELL PDX load cell. In addition to providing the most accurate vehicle weighing in the industry, the POWERCELL PDX load cell offers innovations that add to your bottom line. It is the load cell system that provides a fully protected network, built-in predictive diagnostics, and unmatched lightning protection.These innovations signal a revolution in vehicle scale reliability.
No More Junction BoxesUntil now, all load cell systems required some type of junction boxes to sum individual weight signals and transmit them to a scale terminal. The boxes are wired on site and are difficult to seal against moisture and dust. Because these high maintenance boxes contain sensitive electronics, they are the single most common cause of vehicle scale failures and unplanned expenses.
POWERCELL PDX load cells dramatically change vehicle scale reliability by eliminating junction boxes. Electronic components are protected inside the hermetically sealed load cell enclosures. There are no junction boxes to fail and cause costly weighing errors.
The load cells are linked by heavy duty cables with quick locking connectors. Both the cables and connectors are watertight, effectively sealing the entire load cell network against moisture to IP68 (submersible) standards. Designed to guarantee the integrity of the weight signal, these cables protect against damage from moisture, machinery,and rodents.
