The LS-WIM® truck weighing system is a premier solution from the Intercomp group of companies, specifically developed for highly accurate, low-speed measurement of vehicle axle, axle group, and gross vehicle weights. This system is the ideal choice for applications where fast and reliable weight enforcement is essential while maintaining smooth traffic flow, such as at traffic control points, terminals, or industrial facilities.
LS-WIM® technology enables measurement during passage without stopping the vehicle, or at minimal speed (typically 5-15 km/h), significantly increasing efficiency compared to traditional static scales.
The LS-WIM® system combines robustness, accuracy, and flexibility to meet even the strictest industrial and regulatory requirements.
High Accuracy Measurement at Low Speed: The system provides excellent accuracy even when vehicles are moving slowly over the weighing surface. This is critically important for identifying overweight vehicles and monitoring load distribution.
Robust Construction: The weighing units (platforms or sensors) are made from durable, high-load capacity materials that withstand repeated loading from heavy trucks and adverse environmental conditions.
Portability and Installation Flexibility: Although LS-WIM® systems also exist in in-ground configurations, the portable versions can be installed and removed extremely quickly, making them ideal for temporary sites or establishing rapid inspection points.
Integrability: The system is easily integrable into existing traffic management systems, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) software, and data acquisition systems.
Data Management and Software Support: Displays and software offered by Intercomp (such as RFX® wireless displays or dedicated WIM software) enable real-time data acquisition, storage, and report generation.
The LS-WIM® product family is available in various configurations (e.g., LS630-WIM™, LS788-WIM™), but the fundamental technical parameters are as follows:
| Parameter | Description / Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Mode | In-Motion | Low Speed |
| Pontosság | Generally ±1% – ±3% depending on speed | Separate scales are recommended for static measurement |
| Maximum Axle Load | Depending on configuration, often over 15,000 kg | Specifically for heavy commercial vehicles |
| Operating Speed | 5 km/h – 15 km/h (3 mph – 9 mph) | Speed optimization for accuracy purposes |
| Display/Control Unit | With various Intercomp indicators (e.g., RFX® wireless) | Data logging and display functions |
| Environmental Protection | IP rated, weatherproof design | For use in outdoor and harsh environments |
| Material Usage | High-strength aluminum or steel alloys | Long lifespan and load-bearing capacity |
| Communication | Serial (RS232/RS485) or wireless options | Integration with external systems |
Due to the versatility of the LS-WIM® system, it can be used in numerous sectors where weight monitoring is crucial:
Portable LS-WIM® systems (such as the LS630-WIM™) are especially valuable due to their flexibility. These modules are easily transportable and deployable, making them ideal for:
The LS-WIM® system reflects Intercomp's commitment to precision measurement, ensuring users receive the most reliable data on vehicle loading while minimizing traffic slowdowns.
