Systems Engineering

Atrax and our partners have a strong systems application engineering capability with specialist skills in software systems and mechanical design. Projects undertaken to date have included networking many scales back to a centralised computer for collection of information, use of handheld wireless Portable Data Terminals (PDT's) for collection and interrogation of other process information, manipulation of the database and posting to the web and/or client host servers.

Although such systems are ideally suited to the Express courier/parcel industry they also have application in a wide range of other industries. Atrax has substantial capability in system design for scales, data collection and process control. It is not possible to detail all applications on a website, clients should contact Atrax with their project requirements.


Centre of Gravity Unit

The Centre of Gravity unit consists of 8 heavy-duty cargo loadcells (arranged as 4 pairs). Each pair of loadcells are wired into an Atrax junction box and then all 4 junction boxes are connected to a single 920i Indicator.

The indicator is supplied with highly specialised Atrax written software with performs a centre of gravity calculation. The indicator then displays both the weight on the scaledeck and a value in distance from a marked reference point on the deck.

The practical use is to allow the Airforce to attach parachutes to the containers at the correct point to remove the chance of overbalancing during descent and the ensuing damage to the cargo.


Shear Beam Load Cell & Mount Assembly

The Atrax model shear beam load cell and self aligning mount assembly can be used in a wide range of industrial weighing applications, and can convert most "structures" into a weighing system. Typical applications include large platform scales, scissors lift truck docks, ball mats, roller decks, Transfer Vehicles (TV's) and Elevating Transfer Vehicles (ETV's) in air cargo, express parcel and material handling operations. The load cell/mount combination is equally suited to tank, bin and hopper weighing applications in process industries.
A complete weighing system can be easily created with just a number of load cell mount assemblies, used in combination with the Atrax summing junction box and any one of the Atrax digital weight readouts.

Compression Load Cell

The Atrax SSC series of compression (canister) load cells are an all stainless steel welded construction high strength precision load cell. Fully sealed to IP67 ensures years of trouble free service.
The load cell is available with or without mounting hardware and in a range of capacities from 500kg to 500tonne.

Load Cell Summing Junction Box

The Atrax LC-650-JB Junction Box provides summation and calibration sensitivity matching for up to six load cells in a weighing system, and combines the weight signals into a single output. Installation and commissioning of your weighing system is made quick and easy through minimum interaction between loadcell channels and zero points, quick connect wire terminals, and 25 turn fine adjust trim-pots.
The unit is housed in a rugged, fully welded stainless steel enclosure with rubber gaskets and water proof cable glands. The printed circuit board is protected with a heavy duty moisture proof conformal coating. This makes the LC-650-JB suitable for all industrial weighing applications, indoor or outdoor.

Heavy Duty Platform Scale

The Atrax Heavy Duty Platform scale deck is designed for rigorous use and high gross weights for airport cargo applications where accuracy and reliable weighing are essential. Suitable for drive over use with forklifts, airport tugs and dolleys and similar mobile equipment.
Typically mounted in shallow pits for flush with floor use but equally suited to above ground installations.
Available in a range of deck sizes and capacities.

Low Profile Pancake Scale

Ultra low profile "pancake" scale for above ground use or installation into shallow pit. The low profile design allows the use of shallow gradient ramps on any or all four sides. When fitted with ramps the larger platforms will accept forklift, tug and dolley traffic while pallet trucks and trolleys can be easily pushed by hand over the smaller platforms.
Available in a range of deck sizes and capacities.

Slip/Docket Printer
The Atrax model TM-U295, slip printer is an ultra-compact versatile printer that can accept a range of docket sizes and multiple copy carbonised stationery.
Already installed by Atrax in many cargo operations around the world it has proven itself most suitable for container close-out slips or printing on any manually placed forms.

Tally Roll Strip Printer


The Atrax strip printer is a versatile unit designed for printing on continuous rollpaper. After printing, the printed copy is either torn off against a tearbar or an internal auto cutter is used to separate the printed portion.
Already installed in a wide range of industrial and airport applications around the world where printing on continuous stationery is required. Can be used in unattended operations where a paper record is required.

Installation, Commissioning and Field support.

We can offer a full installation and support service for all of our products and our team are well versed in operating in all areas of the globe.
We place extremely high standards on all of our Atrax service and support personnel and we demand the same standards from local service agents, who only act on our behalf after being thoroughly trained by Atrax. Wherever possible we insist that our agents have the relevant quality assurance certification.

For baggage applications the services we offer include (but are not limited to) installation of scale bases under customer supplied conveyors, full commissioning of the scale unit combined with calibration and obtaining the local Weights & Measures approval certification. Also if conveyor controls are included in the project, our engineers can wire, test and commission these options.

When the project is for a cargo/Courier site, we can fit individual scale components to your machinery, and configure and test the Digital weight Indicator (and Printer if supplied). Following the completion of the installation process, we can calibrate, test and obtain local Weights & Measures approvals (when required).

Backing up our engineers are a world-wide network of service and support agents, ensuring that your project is fully maintained 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
