ANYLOAD load cells are not just analog components for static scales.
In this case study, a research team used ANYLOAD load cells with CAN J1939 digital amplifiers to measure material distribution in an air seeder test stand. The goal was to capture real-time weight data across multiple collection points more efficiently than traditional manual methods.
This project highlights three things about our capabilities:
• Digital load cells and signal conditioning for cleaner, easier-to-use data
• CAN J1939 integration for mobile agricultural and construction equipment environments where long cable runs, vibration, dust, and shared networks are common
• Support for special projects and educational institutions, including force measurement applications with real-world value beyond the lab
For multi-sensor systems, digital output simplifies integration and scaling. In this application, the J1939 network provided reliable communication through built-in error checking, message prioritization, and fault-tolerant design, making it well suited to demanding agricultural systems.
