Need help with in motion calibration on the Garvens S2 checkweigher. Seems i can not access this in my menu options. Only static calibration. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to The Cove Forums! :bigwave: :bigwave:

Have you talked to the supplier of this equipment?

A quick 'bump' in case this rings a bell with someone here.

Many checkweighers can only be calibrated while at a static state. Sending mass standards accross the conveyor isn't very safe or accurate.

You can always verify the static calibration by running a box (mimic the size of your product) of a known mass accross the checkweigher. This will give you confidence that the device is taking the static calibration constants and properly applying them to items that are in motion.

Well i have dealt with many other manufacturers of in motion check-weighers and they all have an in motion calibration. You take a known mass and run it through the check-weigher until a mean average is accepted by the scale.

Hello, i am having a similar issue with an older garvens hi-speed unit. unfortunately tech support for this equipment has ceased to be, so i am taking to the forums to try and find help with my problem.
In this instance, i have two machines, one incomplete as a parts pile. one of the load cells is in very good shape for being a 1990 model year.

when i static tare the scale it zero's perfectly and with a 100g cal. weight it reads 100g.
now the issue im having is when i start the belts, i will get anywhere from 3.0-25.0g with nothing on the scale at all. my conclusion is that vibration is causing this issue, but to find an adjustment to compensate for this has proven nearly impossible. i've located 2 slide pot adj. on the main circuit board, and one close to the back of the baord as well, i am not sure of there reason but adjusting them while running the belts and scale has resolved nothing.

Any help is appriciated. thanks
