What do load cells have to do with Christmas dinner?
FUTEK is getting into the holiday spirit by illustrating how its LRF Low Profile Load Cells, combined with instrumentation such as the IHH500 handheld display, can monitor the weight of your Christmas turkey.
Mounted to all four corners of the platform, the load cells (equipped with overload protection) will measure the weight (load) of whichever item (eg, a turkey) happens to be placed on it. As the load fluctuates, the company’s IAC200 summing junction box will collect the individual load cell measurements, sending the final weigh-in to either the IHH500 handheld display or IPM650 panel mount.
The result of this meticulous feedback system is a precision weight measurement for your turkey, enabling you to appropriately time the cooking of your Christmas feast. Enjoy!
