Abstract :
This paper deals with the development of a signal processing algorithm for checkweighers to realize a much higher speed of operation and highly accurate measurement of the mass of an object during crossing a conveyor belt. The experimental results on checkweighers suggest that the filtering algorithm of FIR type designed under the consideration on the dynamics of checkweighers is effective enough for practical applications.
