Calibration of a multi-load cells weighing system based on neural networks

Abstract

Multi-load cells weighting systems are based on a platform supported by four or more load cells, normally in parallel inputting lhe same signal conditioning unit. Because of mechanical and electrical paralleling tuning the gain of a load cell affects lhe behavior of the others, making the calibration difficult and tedious, specially withweightbridges for cars and trucb, requiring lhemotion of heavy weights around /arge p/atforms.
