Structural Beam Support
A better way to reduce deflection is to mount weigh modules near grounded
vertical columns instead of at the center of horizontal support beams. Be sure to
support all weigh modules with the same size structural beams to prevent
differential deflection, which can cause nonrepeatability or zero-return problems.
Figure 5-14a shows a recommended arrangement with weigh modules mounted
near vertical beams, and Figure 5-14b shows weigh modules mounted at the
center of horizontal beams.
