Weighing Components for OEMs and System Builders

Building machinery, process lines, or automated handling equipment? You need weighing hardware that actually works in the field—and suppliers who understand what happens after the parts leave the warehouse.

Micro Weighing Solutions (MWS) works with OEMs and system builders who need load cells, platforms, amplifiers, and the mounting bits that hold everything together. We can ship you parts for self-install, or work with you on application support and turnkey delivery.

More than just a box of parts

Look, plenty of companies can ship load cells. What sets MWS apart is practical engineering help when you need it—selecting the right components and making sure they’ll actually work in your build.

This becomes important when you’re dealing with:

• Vessel and silo installs where the mechanical details make or break accuracy
• Tight OEM schedules that don’t leave room for do-overs
• End customers asking for traceability and proper documentation
• Systems that need to perform reliably months and years after commissioning

Load cells, platforms, and the bits that make them work

Getting the loadcell mounting right

Here’s the thing about load cell projects: the cell itself is only part of the story. How you mount it, cable it, protect it—that’s what determines whether your system is still reading accurately a year from now.

MWS supplies complete packages: load cells plus the mounting hardware, junction boxes, and protection accessories you need for a solid installation.

Industrial platform scales built to last

If your machine needs a weighing platform as a subsystem, we’ve got proven platform solutions that’ll save you design time. Stainless steel construction, proper junction box options, built for washdown and hygiene applications where that matters.

Getting weight data into your PLC

System builders don’t want “a reading on a display.” You want weight data flowing directly into your control system, in a format your PLC already speaks.

DIN-rail amplifiers for standard PLC integration

We supply DIN-rail instrumentation that presents weight to your PLC the way it expects—4–20 mA and other standard industrial outputs. Mount it in the panel, wire it up, configure your PLC tags, done.

Fieldbus when you need it

Some projects need networked communications. We can support integration into Modbus TCP, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, and other industrial protocols (depending on which instrumentation you’re using).

This matters most for:

• Automated dosing and batching systems
• Process skids and packaged equipment
• Retrofit projects where you’re stuck matching the customer’s existing network

How we work with OEMs

You choose the level of support

Some teams want to handle everything in-house—great, we’ll get you the parts. Others want help with selection, installation, and commissioning to reduce risk or speed things up. We do both.

Documentation when it counts

If your end customer needs formal calibration records or traceability, we can provide that. Proper documentation for quality-managed environments, not just a packing slip.

What you get from working with MWS

Better weighing performance, real-time data in your control system, less waste from bad reads, and fewer headaches during commissioning.

We also work with OEM partners on project pricing and supply agreements when you’ve got ongoing volume.
