NTEP Certified Models Available

A key component of MSI's integrated overhead weighing solutions is the Load Pin Sensor. Typically designed and manufactured specifically to each integrated solution, the MSI load pin is strictly industrial grade. Each load pin design is precision machined from 17-4 stainless steel for safety, strength and corrosion resistance.

Integrated Shear Web Load Cell

When load block integration is key, a low-profile, donut-style load cell that compensates for hook rotation without losing accuracy is essential. MSI designed the MSI-Shear Web Load Cell to be an integrated, low-profile load cell that can eliminate headroom loss without sacrificing accuracy.

With extensive crane hook integration possibilities, the load cell can be custom-fit for use with existing equipment. To transmit load data, the load cell can be interfaced with a wireless RF transmitter to communicate with a digital weight indicator or handheld remote display. Reliable and durable, the shear web load cell is IP67 rated, zinc plated and constructed with 4340 alloy steel. Designed for placement above the load block trunnion, the load cell features off-axis compensation and 0.10 percent accuracy of rated capacity.

A Legal for Trade Crane Scale

The MSI-3460 with ScaleCore measurement module provides industry leading weighing features of previous Challenger designs plus much more. Long range viewing is enhanced with a larger 1.5 inch (38 millimeter) ultra-bright LED digital display and resolution settings of up to 10,000 divisions for precise 0.1 percent loading accuracy. Product operating time is extended to over 80 plus hours with a single six-volt rechargeable battery. The original signature Challenger packaging has been upgraded to NEMA Type 4/IP65 levels. Manufactured in the USA in strict compliance with the highest safety standards, Challenger continues to sustain minimum 200 percent safe and 500 percent ultimate load ratings.

A ScaleCore electronics retrofit kit is available for upgrading existing MSI-3260 or MSI-3360 Challengers to new generation MSI-3460.

MSI CellScale products provide configurable system solutions to satisfy nearly any wireless weighing application.

A Simple and Efficient Load Cell Interface

From the initial weighment on the scale to the final numeric value on the indicator, efficient communication is key to the success of the entire operation. Whether it’s overhead, livestock, tank, or heavy capacity weighing, once your traditional conduit is damaged or needs to be replaced, communication is halted and so is your operation. The MSI-7000 and 7001 TranSend not only solves issues resulting from traditional conduit, it also exceeds communication application expectations.

From the brand you know and trust for expert integrated solutions, MSI has designed both the 7000 and 7001 TranSend to transform the signal of one or more load cells and transmits that data wirelessly to a receiving unit. TranSend is fully compatible with a broad range of receiving devices including MSI-8000, MSI-8000HD, any other digital weight indicator, PC, PLC, or other industrial device. Housed in a rugged IP-66 NEMA Type 4 enclosure, TranSend is suitable for most indoor and outdoor environments with an operating distance of up to 300 feet.

Select from the basic functionality of single-channel models, or upgrade to the expanded capabilities of multi-channel models. Multi-channel devices offer up to three optional relay contacts, audible alarm, and can function as a smart junction box. In the event of a load cell failure, TranSend can automatically compensate and transmit a service warning, and compensate for that load cell until it is repaired.

The MSI 7000 and 7001 TranSend transforms the way your devices communicate between one another. Upgrade your current communication process by eliminating expensive conduit and replacing it with TranSend.

Long Distance Communication with Ultimate Versatility

The MSI-8000 remote display makes wireless control easy with the ability to operate weighing systems from a distance.

A Versatile, Wireless Weighing Solution

The MSI-9000 CellScale™ is MSI’s most innovative and technologically advanced product for wireless weighing and networked system solutions for industrial plant applications.

The MSI-9000 CellScale simultaneously processes, monitors and controls single or multiple load sensor inputs and outputs along with real-time communications over a secure FHSS 2.4GHz RF network. Up to 64 selectable license-free RF networks are available ensuring reliable non-interfering transmissions across nearly all industrial environments.

The MSI-9000 functions as the central controller in a CellScale networked weighing system combining advanced analog-to-digital (A/D) processing with superior RF communications packaged in a NEMA 4 /IP65 industrial grade enclosure. A standard CellScale can process two load sensor inputs or with an optional second A/D module, up to four inputs simultaneously with real-time data collection and communication throughout a network of peripheral CellScale weighing components.

Other CellScale weighing components providing versatile wireless weighing system solutions include: MSI-9750A & MSI-9850 RF remote indicators, MSI-6260CS, MSI- 9300 & MSI-9300HT RF industrial crane scales, and MSI RF remote scoreboards. The MSI-9020 cell modem also provides simple network connectivity with existing plant information systems and equipment, including: printers, computers and PLCs.

The MSI-9002 Breakout/Summing Box is an accessory to the MSI-9000 CellScale. It functions as a standard 4 in and 1 out summing box, but also has the unique capability to function as a 4 in and 2 out dual summing box. This allows two channels of the CellScale to access two pairs of summed load cells.

Terminals are provided to permit daisy-chaining of a second MSI-9002 module to allow access to more CellScale input channels.

The MSI-9002 has the high end feature of switches on each input allowing complete removal of summing sections for calibration, test and troubleshooting. Each input is EMI filtered and transient protected.

The MSI-9008 is an accessory to the MSI-9000 CellScale. It functions as an 8 in and 1 out channel switch. The MSI-9008 expands a single CellScale input to 8 independent inputs. Due to the truly independent calibration capability of the CellScale, scales can be mixed in any type, capacity and resolution.

The MSI-9008 uses new generation analog switches which have a resistance of less than 5 ohm. This allows the MSI-9008 to be used at a distance from the CellScale without signal degradation due to noise pickup. In addition, the MSI-9008 provides switching of the excitation voltage. This reduces power consumption by removing power from any channel not currently being addressed. This also expands the load cell driving ability of the CellScale by a factor of four (excitation is switched in pairs). An 8-segment sunlight visible bar graph provides channel status.

Terminals are provided to permit daisy-chaining of a second MSI-9008 module to allow access to more CellScale input channels. The CellScale has 2 or 4 input channels. Using the maximum number of four MSI-9008 modules permits the CellScale to read 32 independent scale inputs.  Each input is EMI filtered and transient protected.

The MSI-9020 CellModem is an accessory of the CellScale and wireless weighing systems. The CellModem provides a wireless interface from a CellScale to any serial device. Support is provided for computers, scoreboards, printers, PLC's and virtually any serial connected device.
