The mechanical calibration system Milltronics MWL Weight Lifter for belt scales from Siemens Industry Automation Division is now available for heavier loads - up to 340 kg (750 lbs) from 225 kg (500 lbs). MWL Weight Lifter allows simple, reliable and safe calibration for Milltronics MSI, MMI, MBS, MCS and MUS belt scales. The compact calibration system mounts under the conveyor belt and stores the calibration test weights above the calibration arms of the belt scale. The user easily lowers the reference weights manually with a crank handle and safely applies them to the belt scale, without having to lean into the conveyor or remove any guarding components.

Adaptable to any application, the maintenance free, easy to install, MWL calibration system is available for use with flat bar or integral round bar style calibration weights. Each weight and weight holder is stamped with its exact weight to avoid calibration errors. Combined with a Milltronics belt scale, speed sensor and integrator the Milltronics MWL allows very efficient calibration processes. This constantly ensures high accuracy and reliability of the belt scale system.
