MULTIRAIL TECHNOLOGY - In the Tie or in the Rail

Weigh Disk -  Our load cell in the tie technology is our highest accuracy in-motion weighing and sensing technology.  Our custom, high capacity, high strength load cell is laser welded and hermetrically sealed for long life.  The patented design accounts for all forces, producing a highly accurate weight measurement even at high speed. 

Weighing Eye - The weighing eye is a low cost strain gauage technology that can be mounted in the web of the rail.  Less accurate than the weigh disk, the weighing eye is perfect for overloading, side loading or basic wheel diagnostics.
