Weighing idler alignment
Precise idler alignment is very important to achieve maximum accuracy of the weighing system.
Misaligned idlers will result in unwanted forces being applied on each idler in the weighing area,
causing calibration and measurement errors. Verify that the weighing idler is aligned properly.
Use a spirit level to level the load cells.
