Updated LCB from Laumas: plastic version and hygienic version
The LCB load cell universal digitizer, which transforms any analog load cell into a digital load cell, has been renewed and evolved. Laumas has improved the performance of the classic LCB model, made of AISI 304 stainless steel, and diversified its offering with two new versions.
The new versions
The new models retain the main features of the classic LCB, including the IP67 protection rating and the availability of two program versions on the instrument: BASE program for setting setpoint values and batching program for single product loading.
Plastic version
The new plastic version has a PA66 nylon container reinforced with fiberglass, making it the most economical option.
Hygienic version
The hygienic version has a new AISI 304 stainless steel container certified according to 3-A Sanitary Standards. The LCB3A is fully sanitizable and ideal for applications in areas where hygiene is an important or necessary requirement.
How has the LCB improved?
Laumas' research and development team has implemented clear improvements. Here are the new features:
-
Faster measurement: The weight calculation frequency has been improved and can now reach up to 500 values per second. The data update frequency on the fieldbus can also reach a maximum speed of 500 updates per second when using PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and EtherCAT buses.
-
Easier to configure and manage: They are now compatible with Istrument Manager, free software for managing Laumas electronic instruments from a PC.
-
Improved communication with PLC: The choice of fieldbuses has been expanded with the new CC-LINK IE Field Basic, based on Ethernet technology.
-
More versatile use: In addition to the classic assembly integrated with the load cell body, it is now possible to wall-mount both the classic LCB and the plastic version using mounting supports with fixing holes. This way, the digitizer can also be used as a regular weight transmitter which, together with a junction box, can manage up to 4 load cells connected in parallel.
