GIROPES Weighing Systems: Industrial Solutions for Accurate Measurement

The wide GIROPES product range offers the highest level of accuracy and reliability for the most diverse industrial weighing needs. From truck scales to portable axle and wheel weighers, through to advanced software solutions, our products are designed to optimize processes, ensure regulatory compliance, and maximize productivity.

Product Portfolio Overview

In the GIROPES portfolio, the appropriate tool can be found for every industrial weighing task, whether it concerns high-capacity, fixed installation systems or flexible, mobile solutions.

1. Truck Scales (Weighbridges)

Truck scales form the backbone of the logistics and industrial sectors, ensuring accurate weight measurement of incoming and outgoing goods. These systems are extremely robust and operate reliably even in high-traffic, long-term environments. Key Features and Advantages:

• Robust Construction: Excellent resistance to extreme weather conditions and high mechanical stress.
• Accuracy: High weighing accuracy (performance compliant with OIML R134 standards).
• Installation Flexibility: Different size and capacity configurations are available, including pit-type and above-ground installation options.
• Integration: Easy integration into existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and logistics systems.

2. Platform Scales (Platforms)

Platform scales offer a versatile solution for weighing pallets, large packages, or containers. They are ideal for warehouses, the end of production lines, and transshipment points. Technical Highlights:

• Load capacity: Available in a wide scale, from light industrial applications to heavy-duty warehouse tasks.
• Material quality: Stainless steel (INOX) or painted mild steel options, ensuring hygiene and durability.
• Configuration: Low profile design for easy ramp access, or in-floor installation variants.

3. Portable Wheel and Axle Weighing

In areas where mobility and on-site verification are key, portable systems offer the ideal solution. These systems make it possible to measure the axle or wheel weight of vehicles without having to divert the entire vehicle onto a fixed bridge scale. Application Areas:

• Roadside Enforcement: Fast and accurate detection of vehicle overloading.
• Logistics Control: Verification of in-plant weight distribution in warehouses or depots.
• Easy Transport: Compact, easy-to-install, and transportable design.

4. Mobile Weighing Systems (Mobile Weighing)

Mobile scales prioritize flexibility. These systems are ideal for locations requiring temporary or frequently changing weighing points.

5. Indicators

Weighing instruments (indicators) form the brain of the weighing system, ensuring the processing and display of data received from the sensors. GIROPES offers numerous advanced displays that comply with various industrial standards and user requirements. Indicator Technology:

• Digital and Analog Outputs: Wide range of connectivity options.
• Communication Protocols: RS232, RS485, Ethernet support for digital data transmission.
• Functionality: Tare function, battery operation mode, weight summation, printing functions.
• Displays: High-resolution LED or LCD displays that are easily readable even in poor lighting conditions.

6. Load Cells

The accuracy of weighing systems is based on the excellent quality load cell. GIROPES load cells are manufactured according to industrial standards, guaranteeing long life and reliable performance. Load Cell Types:

• Cylindrical and Single Point Cells: For different load capacity ranges.
• IP Protection: High level protection against dust and water (usually IP67 or IP68).
• Material: Stainless steel design for corrosion resistance.

7. Software Solutions

The efficiency of hardware measuring devices is maximized by their accompanying software. The goal of GIROPES software is to automate data management, increase process transparency, and simplify documentation. Software Functions:

• Database Management: Storage of customer, item, and vehicle data.
• Automated Record Keeping: Instant recording and printing of measurement data.
• Inventory Tracking: Providing real-time inventory information.
• Legal Compliance: Recording verified measurements in accordance with regulatory requirements.

8. Checkweighing and Production Line Solutions

Continuous monitoring of product weight in production processes is essential for quality assurance and minimizing losses.

• Checkweighing Systems: High-speed, dynamic measurement on conveyor belts.
• Production Lines: Integrated weighing stations that automatically sort or reject products with incorrect weights.

9. Label Printers and Label Applicators

The next logical step after measurement is product identification and labeling. GIROPES label applicator systems automate the printing and affixing of labels containing weight data, thereby increasing efficiency in the packaging phase.

10. Metal Detectors

To enhance product safety, weighing systems can be equipped with metal detectors, which ensure that processed or packaged products do not contain foreign metal objects.
