Introduction and System Setup This system provides a multiple-reject in-motion checkweighing program for the Rice Lake Weighing Systems/AP Dataweigh in-motion checkweigher hardware system. It allows for checkweighing of in-motion products as they cross the belt scale section. The system is capable of storing up to 25 rejected items in its memory, which is helpful if the reject arm is not located near the scale.

Calibration Calibrating a product allows the user to select and actually run a sample product across the scale and allow the user to see the distribution curve and setup the weighing parameters for each product. These parameters include sample delay and sample time. By pressing , the conveyor will begin and the Start...

See Figure 3-6 on page 11 for an example of an optimal distribution curve. 920i Multi-Reject In-Motion Checkweighing System Manual...
Making Adjustments for an Optimal Graph Ideally, the distribution curve should be symmetrical. You should be able to see an arc as the item enters the belt and an arc as it leaves.Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 on page 10 show an arc as the product enters the belt, but not the full arc as the product leaves.
