The purpose of the Tachometer is to measure belt travel
The measurement is required to be very accurate, within 0.1% to 0.05%.
Errors in tachometry translate directly to error in the belt weigher output.
The tachometer pulley (or wheel) should be at least 300mm diameter to reduce tachometer error.
CST use tachometers frequencies from 1Hz to 200Hz
Higher frequency tachometers can be easier to calibrate in a short belt distance
Designed and Built in Australia
