Don’t Just Buy A Load Cell …..

tell us your application because you never know, we may be able to help with a better solution to your problem.

I say this because recently I had a little chuckle when talking to a customers of ours about their particular application. We sell a lot of our load cells for lifting and weighing applications, particularly for cranes. In this case, the customer had installed some equipment for load monitoring with the readout on the ground, this meant that when the crane was holding its maximum load, someone on the ground had to shout up to the man in the cab that the limit had been reached. Obviously this has lots of drawbacks, not least that it becomes a two-man job and requires vigilance and a loud voice! By using a load cell with a telemetry/wireless option, then the operator can see directly that the load limit is being reached and can plan his actions accordingly.

It’s a win-win situation. You tell us your application and we can suggest the best possible solution, either from our standard range or a customised  solution from our in-house designers.

So, you can shout about that :-)

We’re Looking for Distributors

As I’ve mentioned a few times, we successfully sell our load cells and associated products throughout the world for a huge variety of industrial applications. Our website is, of course, open 24/7 and we are well-placed in the search engines, so many international organisations find us on the internet and we manage our business over the phone and via e-mail. This works very well and email is often a good way to overcome the language barrier.

However, sometimes you just need someone ‘on the ground’. In certain countries we are aware that engineers are more open to talking to companies who have a physical presence and can attend meetings to discuss particular applications. So, we are looking to expand our distributor network.

BUT (there always is one, isn’t there?) they need to match our stringent criteria. We are increasingly proud of our global reputation for excellent products, application knowledge and first-class customer service and we need any potential distributors to uphold this when they represent us.

If you think that you can match our checklist, then please e-mail me at info@lcmsystems.com putting ‘Distributor Request’ in the Subject line.

Low Profile, High Accuracy Compression Load Cell Ideal for Testing Applications

In response to engineers who have requested a low profile, high accuracy, button compression load cell for testing applications, LCM Systems is pleased to announce the availability of the CDIT-3 series. Also suitable for a wide range of general engineering and weighing applications, these new load cells have been developed for use in situations where space is limited.

Manufactured in fully-welded stainless steel, the corrosion resistant load cells are available with ranges covering 0-100kg to 0-200te. Unlike similar products on the market, the CDIT-3 sensors are highly accurate, offering an accuracy of < ± 0.02%.   Environmentally sealed to IP68, they are also ideal for harsh industrial environments. Accessories include a mounting plate, load cap and complete weighing assemblies for ranges up to 30te and the load cap versions.

The load cells can be supplied individually or busy engineering departments can speak to LCM Systems’ technical department and have complete systems designed and delivered, saving both time and money.
