The new model IND9R86 scale controllers from METTLER TOLEDO weigh coupled railroad cars while a train is in motion, eliminating the costs and hazards of uncoupling and positioning each car for weighing. The IND9R86 dynamic weighing controller, integrated with a METTLER TOLEDO dynamic rail scale, allows for automated weighing of entire trains as they cross the scale at speeds up to 6 mph. Individual rail car weights are obtained without uncoupling cars, and train total weights are automatically calculated. Rail car identification information from an RFID tag is integrated into the weighing record. The controller stores and prints weight information for any length train, even those exceeding several hundred cars, and provides data storage for hundreds of trains. (PRWeb May 31, 2008)
