During the operating life, rotating machines suffers gradual deterioration in their condition and performance due to wear and tear caused by friction between moving parts on the machines. Increase in machine wear is always accompanied by increase in vibration level, which therefore can be used as index of machine condition. If the machine is allowed to run on without corrective measures being taken, vibration levels will increase with time at increasing rate until a stage is reached where the machine fails completely. Monitoring vibration levels on machines such as Fans, Blowers, Pumps, Cooling Towers and Turbines which has to be operated continuously will help to detect increase in vibration levels that are likely to result in machine failure, so that a programmed shut down may be carried out for maintenance. PG701 series of Vibration Transmitters are designed to monitor the vibration levels of the above mentioned rotating machines. The 4-20Ma signal being proportional to the G level can be connected directly to the monitoring device such as a PLC, else customized display devices & data logging system, can be provided by us.

It can support a maximum of four transducers when connected in parallel. The system provides a very stable power supply of 10V DC for excitation of the transducers. It consists of a differential amplifier to amplify the signal from the transducers. The circuitry is based around an Analog to Digital converter (ADC). The ADC drives a 7-segment, 13mm height LED display. The system provides an output of 0-10V corresponding to the applied load. OR The system provides a current output of 4-20mA corresponding to load applied.
Force Calibrator is designed to revalidate a loading system (UTM) or a hydraulic press from time to time. The system consists of a precision load cell / pressure transducer connected to the Force Calibrator, , which works on a single 9V battery with a 7 segment 10mm height, LCD display. To increase battery life a sleep mode has been incorporated. The indicator goes into a sleep mode if there is no change in reading beyond 5 counts within a span of 15 mins, thereby increasing battery life. The sleep mode can be revoked without any change in reading subject to load being held constant. The unit is factory calibrated using standards that has been calibrated in a national standards lab.
IPA make Hopper / Tank / Silo / Bin Weighing Systems offer simple, rugged, accurate and reliable weighing. It ranges from 5 KGs to any Tonne capacity depending upon single loadcell arrangement or multiple loadcells. Single load cell conversion is best suited for Liquid Weighing and in the case where only level indication is required. For Hopper and Silo Weighing System, generally, three loadcell mounting arrangement is ideal. But, for horizontal tank, four loadcell based systems are recommended and for outdoor application, hermetically sealed loadcells are preferred. The Indication for Hopper / Tank and Silo Weighing System can be Level / Weight, which is available either as Wall Mounting Type or Panel Mounting Type.Today we have digital load cells that can make the whole process of installation and trouble shooting easier.

The system finds extensive use in process industries where monitoring the quantity of materials coming out after completion of a process, especially where materials like powder, granules etc. are used, which comes out at a very low rate, say in the order of under 5T per day or lesser. It is extensively used in the tea industry.
The system consists of a buffer hopper and a weigh hopper both provided with gates. The weigh hopper is mounted on loadcells. These loadcells are connected to an indicator where the set value can be entered. As soon as the weight in the weigh hopper achieves the set value, the buffer hopper gate closes and the weigh hopper gate opens to discharge the weighed quantity of material on to a down stream process line. The electronic indicator registers the exact quantity of material.
As soon as the weigh hopper becomes empty, the gate closes and the buffer hopper gate opens and the process continues.
A load cell is a transducer that converts force or load into usable electrical signal. The primary mechanical element develops a strain as the load cells is loaded and this strain is transferred through the strain guages that are bonded on to this mechanical element The output electric signal is in Milli volts. There are normally four strain guages that are bonded in the Wheatstone bridge configuration. Strain Guage based load cells are passive transducer i.e. it does not generate its own signals and have to be excited with an external voltage commonly referred as the excitation voltage. The output of the load cell is proportional to the load and the excitation voltage.
We manufacture loadcells from under 1 kg to a 1000Tonnes. Based on various applications, below you find a few of our standard loadcells. Our loadcells are made of Aluminium, EN-24 and 17-4pH steel.

We can supply special loadcells in low volumes at competitive prices
Over loading of the crane is a common occurrence. To prevent the same, IPA has the Trip safe which would ensure that over loading of the crane/hoist is prevented. In this crane over load protection system, the trip safe module is used in conjunction with a suitable loadcell. The advantage of this system over the conventional system is the speed at which the module responds. Also as this is the direct measurement of the load, the action taken for tripping is appropriate and quick. The Trip Safe will ensure that both overload and under load is prevented. Underload occurs when the hook is further released after it touches the ground, which can cause the rope to slip out of the pulley. This low cost solution is ideally suited for all crane and hoist manufacturers.
