Thayer Scale’s WeighPoint® integrator is the latest addition to the company’s instrumentation portfolio, expanding its line of weighing-focused instrumentation, including integrators, controllers, and U/L-certified panel solutions.

The WeightPoint integrator is a dual-processor, touchscreen-enabled solution designed for continuous operation in harsh environments.

The field-mountable or panel-mountable standalone unit with HMI provides an easy-to-use interface to the company’s deep library of algorithms and functions. It is the most robust conveyor and belt-weighing integrating system on the market.

The WeighPoint Integrator is packed with features. It is available in four configurations for flexible installation planning.

It has an eight bright eight inch touch-screen display providing high visibility even in harsh environments with an operating temperature range from -20 to 60 C (-30 to 70 C storage). There are a wide range of communications options, including MODBUS/TCP, Ethernet/IP and Profinet.

The WeighPoint system includes a field-mounted scale module that provides high-resolution digitising of load and speed. Communication from the scale module to the main module is via CANBus to ensure high data fidelity.
