Method in the check weighing of a weighing system and software product and arrangement in the check weighing of a weighing system and materials handling equipment
First Claim
1. A method in the check weighing of a weighing system, comprising:
- lifting a real load of material with a hoist equipped with a weighing system;
weighing the real load of material during a normal working procedure, the weighing comprising weighing the real load of material when the load is stopped and weighing the real load of material when the real load of material is moved with a hoist;
recording a value measured by the weighing system;
determining a reference value from these two weighings of the same real load, on the basis of which the weighing system is adjusted if necessary and/or the assumed precision achieved by the weighing system is estimated; and
adjusting the weighing system as required, on the basis of the reference value.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method in the check weighing of a weighing system. In the method, a hoist (15) equipped with a weighing system (14) is used to lift a load (27), which is weighed, and the value measured by the weighing system (14) is recorded. In the method, the weighing system (14) is adjusted as required, on the basis of the recorded values. A real load (28), which is weighed when not moving, is used as the load (27). The same real load (28) is also weighed during a normal movement while moving. A reference value is defined from these two weighings of the same real load (28), on the basis of which the weighing system (14) is adjusted if necessary and/or the precision probably achieved by the weighing system (14) is estimated. The invention also relates to a software product and an arrangement in the check weighing of a weighing system, and materials handling equipment.

16. An arrangement in the check weighing of a weighing system, comprising:
- a hoist belonging to the arrangement being equipped with a weighing system for weighing a load to be lifted by the hoist, the weighing system including a central unit for recording a value measured by the weighing system and, if necessary, for adjusting the weighing system on the basis of the recorded value, wherein a lifted real load of material is arranged to be used as the load in order to weigh the same lifted real load of material both when stopped and when moving during the same normal working movement, and
wherein the central unit is arranged to determine a reference value from these two weighings of the same real load, in order to adjust the weighing system if necessary, and/or to estimate the assumed precision achieved by the weighing system. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
