Weigh accurately, quickly, and automatically in every industry.
SilverPoint is a modern, automated, dynamic railway weighing system for weighing train sets and wagons and for monitoring wagon loading. The system is available in both a Legal for Trade version (a type-approved measuring device for commercial use) and technology version.
Key benefits
- Dynamic weighing system for measuring the weight of a train and wagons
- Detection of the lateral and longitudinal overloading of individual wagon in motion
- Excellent accuracy, type-approved measuring system
- No disruption to the transport operations during very easy installation
- Possibility of connection to Tamtron OCR system for recognition of wagons and containers
Specifications
SilverPoint dynamic scale for commercial use measures individual wagon weights and the total weight of the train set in commercial quality according to OIML R106. In addition, the system can detect incorrectly loaded wagons, both longitudinally and laterally, aswith the technology version of the SilverPoint scale.
SilverPoint’s dynamic scale for technological applications can monitor and measure wagon weight parameters, such as axle and bogie loads and total weight. The system also reports the total weight of the train set being weighed and the weighing speed. In addition, the system compares the weights of the wagon bogie to detect incorrectly loaded wagons, both longitudinally and laterally.
Fully automatic weighing system
SilverPoint dynamic scale can operate in a fully automatic mode without a scale operator, or as a classic operator-controlled railway dynamic scale.
In the automatic mode, the weighing data is transferred from the scale to the user’s ERP system, which further processes it according to the user’s need and purpose.
In the case of a standard weighing performed by the operator from his PC, the scale is equipped with the data-processing and operator user software ScalexPC – railway scale with all standard functions such as databases of customers, wagons, materials or products, etc. The system enables the printing of not only weight tickets, but also various reports defined by the user.
Installation
SilverPoint scale can be installed quickly and easily without the need for any civil works modifications or interference to railway gravel bed. Load sensors are installed directly into the rails of all standard types without rail cuts. The track into which the scale is installed should meet Tamtron’s slope and flatness requirements. The scale’s measuring electronics, including an industrial computer with analysis software, are located either in a separate outdoor cabinet next to the tracks or in a cabinet inside any nearby building, depending on the customer’s requirements.
The installation is carried out without traffic stops or closing the track. Typically, the total installation time is three days. The installation of the scale, including electronic components and static calibration, takes two days. On the third day, dynamic calibration is performed with the reference train set.
