The Straightpoint Loadblock Plus is a low capacity load cell that has an integrated LCD display. The Loadblock Plus is used in many testing and load monitoring applications worldwide. The integrated LCD display eliminates the need for a separate display or any cable assembly that can be easily damaged. The Loadblock Plus is mainly used for the measurement of loads associated with the testing of hydraulic presses, cylinders or jacks.The Loadblock Plus has a few advanced features, these features include full function push-button controls for tare, units of measure (lbs, kg, kN, and tonnes) peak hold, preset tare, audible setpoint alarm and an overload counter. This crucial overload alarm counter is a requirement for many safety and quality control departments, as it keeps track of overload events, allowing the load cell in question to be removed from service immediately, following a calibration voiding overload event. The load cell in question can then be sent out for proper testing and if necessary recalibration before re-entering service. The advanced microprocessor-based electronics provide the Loadblock plus with high-speed rates (500/sex), extreme resistance to industrial-level noise and remarkable stability. This high stability provides the Loadblock plus with 5000+ divisions and the highest standard resolution of any self-indicating compression load cell on the market today. The Loadblock also features an RS-485 serial output port that allows for remote viewing with either the Straightpoint Handheld Plus digital display/controller or a Windows PC based desktop with controller data logging software.
