CASE STUDY: Weight Checker System

The Problem: Reliability Issues with Current Scale System and Controls

retrofit checkweigher

CASI was contracted to replace an obsolete checkweigher with a modern weight checker. The new weigh check system needed to integrate into an existing line with very special requirements.

The Solution: New CASI 951 Weight Check System

CASI proposed using the 951 conveyor scale for the weigh check solution. The 951 uses a Windows 7 PC based controller that utilizes SolidSuite and on-board I/O to control the existing divert and printer label applicator.

System Overview

weigh check

Cartons enter the weigh check system via an existing flexible conveyor.

The carton travels to a printer label applicator where the shipping label is applied.

These cartons make a 90 degree turn via an existing Hytrol 50/50 pusher to move onto the scale for weight check.

inline weight check

Cartons that fail are diverted to QC where the order is manually checked. Once checked, the carton is re-inducted and processed again by the weight checker system..

in line weigh check

Once the carton is on the conveyor scale, the product is automatically weighed and a pas/ fail message is transmitted. Products that are outside of the over/under check weigh tolerance cause the weigh check system to stop.
