Abstract
Systems and methods for an automated paper cone weighing machine are disclosed. A paper cone weighing machine may comprise a plurality of load cells arranged in a row, each load cell for weighing a material contained in a respective conically shaped paper roll of the plurality of conically shaped paper rolls.
Claims20
A weighing machine comprising:
- a plurality of load cells configured to weigh a material contained in individual conically shaped paper rolls of a plurality of conically shaped paper rolls, wherein the individual conically shaped paper rolls include a top having a first diameter and a bottom having a second diameter that is less than the first diameter;
- one or more guide rods disposed on a surface in the weighing machine, wherein the one or more guide rods align the plurality conically shaped paper rolls with the plurality of load cells, respectively;
- a programmable logic controller configured to receive signals from the plurality of load cells and process the signals into readable data;
- a remote communication input/output unit configured to:
- receive, from the programmable logic controller, the readable data, and
- process the readable data to a display layout representing readable information of a weight of the material contained in the individual conically shaped paper rolls;
- and
- a display unit configured to:
- receive, from the remote communication input/output unit, data representing the display layout, and
- display the readable information of the weight of the material contained in the respective conically shaped paper rolls.
