3D load cells

Load cell designer and manufacturer LCM Systems is now able to offer its customers 3D models as standard on all its customised load cells. As well as supplying a comprehensive range of stock load cells, the company supplies customised sensors for a wide range of applications in a number of industrial markets, including the oil and gas, process control and materials handling.

“We have been providing 3D models on request for a couple of years.” says Steve Sargeant, Managing Director at LCM Systems. “However, now we are being increasingly asked to provide 3D models so customers are able to rotate the images in all planes to ensure that the load cell is suitable for their particular applications. Our design department has recently been evaluating a number of different software packages and we have now decided on the best one that suits both our customers’ needs and ours.”

LCM Systems recognises that offering customers 3D models and 3D interactive PDFs will help them visualise the load cells in situ and enables changes to be made relatively easily and quickly before the product goes to manufacture.
