Turntable integrated scale

摘要

A turntable that can be used with a machine for wrapping loads with packaging material includes a turntable assembly having a first support assembly and a load support surface supported for rotation on the first support assembly. A second support assembly contacts a floor surface, and a plurality of load cells disposed between the first and second support assemblies space the first support assembly and the load support surface above the floor surface. In use, the load cells sense a weight of a load on the load support surface.

1. A turntable assembly, comprising:
a load support surface; a drive assembly configured to rotate the load support surface; a first support assembly supporting the drive assembly and the load support surface; a plurality of load cell assemblies supporting the first support assembly, the plurality of load cell assemblies determining a value indicative of a weight of a load on the load support surface when the load is placed on the load support surface; a second support assembly supporting the plurality of load cell assemblies; and at least one tie bar assembly extending between the first support assembly and the second support assembly, the tie bar assembly constraining the first support assembly relative to the second support assembly for movement in a direction substantially parallel to a rotational axis of the load support surface.
