The FWS 114 is a digital forklift weighing system designed for material handling applications. It provides stable and accurate weight readings, assisting operators in recording loads efficiently. The system operates on a proportional ratio of hydraulic pressure to the applied load, converting hydraulic pressure into an electronic signal that is then calibrated to a known weight.
The primary function of the FWS 114 is to accurately weigh loads on a forklift. It features a display and lock mechanism that ensures weight is only presented after a correct weigh cycle is completed, preventing confusion from unwanted readings during machine motion. The system allows for accumulation of weights, displaying a running total, and clearing accumulated values. It also includes a zeroing function to reset the load to zero before weighing.
The FWS 114 is operated via a set of clearly labeled buttons:
To ensure repeatable accurate weights, a specific weigh cycle must be performed:
After each weighing, press the ADD button to add the weight to the accumulated total. The display will show "ADD 1", "ADD 2", etc. To view the current total, press TOTAL. To clear all accumulated weights and reset to '0', press CLEAR. The system prevents adding the same lifted weight twice by requiring a "zero" or "no load" reading on the forks before a new weight can be added.
The calibration process involves 6 steps:
