The application of load sensors in excavators is mainly through integration into the weighing system of excavators to achieve accurate material loading and transportation management. These systems are often referred to as excavator electronic scales or vehicle-mounted weighing systems. The following are some key points for the application of load sensors in excavators:

1. Components and working principle

Type of sensor: Excavator weighing systems usually contain multiple sensors, such as the load cell on the boom and swing arm, and possibly the bucket cylinder position sensor, the forearm rotation Angle sensor, and the forearm rotation Angle sensor.

Data acquisition: These sensors monitor the force and Angle changes in the various movements of the excavator to calculate the weight of the loaded material.

2. Functions and advantages

Real-time weighing: Provides instant weight readings to help operators avoid overloading and improve safety and efficiency.

Accuracy: Reduce manual estimation errors and ensure that each load meets requirements, which helps to control costs and optimize resources.

Automation: Integrated with the control system of the excavator, automated operation can be achieved and human intervention can be reduced.

Data logging: The ability to record job data for later analysis and report generation.

3. Installation and maintenance

Installation: Sensors are usually mounted on critical mechanical components, such as boom, swing arm or cylinder, requiring professional installation and calibration.

Environmental adaptability: Due to the harsh working environment of the excavator, the sensor must have the characteristics of waterproof, dustproof and heat resistance.

Maintenance: Periodically check the connection and function of the sensor to ensure data accuracy and system reliability.

4. Application Cases

Construction projects: On construction sites, used to control the loading of fill, concrete or other building materials.

Mining and quarries: Monitor the loading of ores and rocks to optimize transportation and processing processes.

Waste Management and recycling: Helps accurately weigh waste and recycle materials in waste treatment facilities.

The application of load cells in excavators not only improves the safety and accuracy of operations, but also promotes the digitization and intelligent development of the industry. With the advancement of technology, the performance and functions of these systems are also constantly upgraded, providing users with more efficient and intelligent solutions.
