What to Know About Junction Boxes
HOUSING FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A junction box is an enclosure used to bring multiple load cells together to function as a single scale. Essentially, a junction box houses wire connections from multiple load cells in order to average their signals and send the value to a weight indicator.
EASIER MAINTENANCE
Junction boxes are the most convenient place to troubleshoot system errors, since all load cell connections come into this one box together. They also make wire access easy and provide protection to the wiring, both from the environment and unwanted tampering.
CUSTOM SCALE SOLUTIONS
By bringing multiple load cells together, junction boxes enable the quick integration of weighing into pre-existing structures such as weighbridges, large platforms, hoppers, tanks and silos to create a custom scale solution. These are ideal for applications that require filling, dosing, batching, checkweighing or sorting by weight.
