The ILPW Standard Wireless Load Measuring Pin transmits real‑time force data wirelessly to the WTS-HK-S Next-Generation Wireless Handheld, enabling seamless monitoring from multiple sensors on a compact, portable interface.
Applications:
7.7K to 3,307K lbf
500 kgs to 1,500 MT
The Interface range of wireless load measuring pins are designed for general use. They are a simple and versatile type of load cell that are used in a large variety of applications such as cranes, winches, hoists, load shackles and bearing blocks. They are easily installed into machines by replacing any existing load bearing pin to provide accurate, real time monitoring of load forces. Machined from high tensile stainless steel and supplied complete with an keeper plate, all our load measuring pins are built to exacting standards and proof loaded to 150% of normal rated load. Our standard wireless load pin range covers ratings between 7.7K to 3,307 lbf (3.5 to 1500 MT), and can be provided as shown on this data sheet or can be modified to meet a particular application requirement. The unique wireless housing is manufactured from semi-aromatic polyamide plastic making the load pin cell far more compact and reducing the overall product weight. Located in the housing are two AAA alkaline batteries which can be easily accessed by removing the telemetry housing cover, while the internal electronics underneath remain completely sealed. The antenna is also internally mounted, protecting it from accidental damage during use and handling. The batteries are standard AAA alkaline batteries, which are readily available and low cost. The ILPW is supplied as standard without any additional wireless devices to enable greater flexibility with the configuration and ordering of the product. The ILPW can be used with any of the WTS range of wireless instrumentation, whether this be for a simple display system using the WTS-BS-1-HS, or more complex systems using WTS-BS-1 HA for multiple load pins.
The WTS-HK-S is a next-generation wireless handheld that combines the most popular features of the WTS-BS-1, WTS-BS-1-HS, and WTS-BS-1-HA into a single, versatile device. A single unit can be configured as needed, reducing inventory requirements and engineering setup time. Out of the box, it operates in roaming mode, automatically detecting and displaying data from up to twelve nearby WTS transmitters at ranges up to 800 m (2,600 ft). For more advanced applications, users can define up to twelve specific inputs with custom settings such as calibrated units and overload alerts. Configuration can be completed directly from the handheld menu, while full setup, saving, and loading of configurations can be performed using the free WTS Toolkit software. Menu items can be locked or hidden with PIN and password protection to prevent accidental changes, and the display can be customized to suit specific operational needs. Firmware updates via the toolkit allow access to new features, including mathematical functions for calculations such as sums, differences, and load determination based on sling angles. The license-free 2.4 GHz DSSS radio provides reliable, interference-resistant communication with FCC, ETSI, and IC approvals.
Interface strongly recommends requesting a system-level calibration when purchasing a force measurement sensor with instrumentation. This final step ensures the sensor and instrumentation are properly calibrated and functioning together before leaving Interface.
