The LS20 WIM (Weigh-In-Motion) meter is the robust and precise solution from the Intercomp group of companies, specifically designed for high-traffic applications, particularly for the dynamic measurement of vehicle axle and total weight. This chip-technology display unit can be excellently integrated into existing weighing systems, ensuring fast, accurate, and reliable data acquisition even in the strictest industrial and regulatory environments.
The LS20 WIM is not just a display; it is a full-value data processing center capable of handling complex data streams resulting from high-speed measurements and providing immediate feedback on the weight data of the inspected vehicle.
The LS20 WIM meter features several functions that set it apart from competitors, especially in high-traffic areas requiring continuous operation:
High-Speed Weighing: Optimized specifically for high-speed axle load measurement, enabling uninterrupted traffic flow during the measurement process.
Robust Construction: Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it ideal for outdoor installations and continuous industrial use.
Integrated Data Management: Capable of receiving and processing data from various sensor types (e.g., strip sensors, axle scales) and displaying the results instantly.
User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive user interface ensures quick setup and easy data querying.
Compatibility: Broad compatibility with Intercomp WIM systems, including the LS-WIM® and LS630-WIM™ solutions.
The precise performance of the LS20 WIM meter is supported by the following technical data:

The LS20 WIM meter is the ideal choice for any sector where fast and accurate vehicle weight control is critical:
The LS20 WIM is a crucial device during enforcement checks where axle load overloads must be determined without slowing down or stopping traffic.
Portable WIM Solutions: Perfectly pairable with portable WIM systems such as the LS788-WIM™ or LS630-WIM™, enabling flexible deployment at temporary inspection points.
In-Ground WIM Systems: Integratable into permanently installed systems (e.g., with WIM Platform scales), ensuring continuous monitoring on major transport routes.
Data logging: Capable of recording measurements, including date, time, axle load, and gross weight, supporting subsequent analysis and legal documentation.
In logistics centers and ports, the LS20 WIM ensures fast and accurate inspection of cargo, optimizing loading processes.
Container Weight Verification (SOLAS): Aids in quickly checking container weights to comply with international maritime shipping regulations (SOLAS), minimizing port delays.
Loading and Unloading: Ensuring accurate weight data to prevent vehicle overloading, thereby increasing safety and reducing vehicle wear.
Although the LS20 WIM is primarily focused on roadside measurement, as part of Intercomp's extensive product range, it also excellently complements agricultural weighing systems where fast inspection of the weights of high-capacity vehicles is necessary.
Modularity and simple integration into existing infrastructure were the main considerations in the design of the LS20 WIM instrument.
Compatible Accessories and Software:
The LS20 WIM is capable of communicating with Intercomp's wide range of display and software offerings, ensuring a customized user experience:
RFX® Wireless Displays: There is an option to transmit data wirelessly to handheld displays, which increases flexibility at the installation site.
Data Acquisition Software: Measured data can be exported to external databases or analysis software (e.g., Intercomp's own software solutions), enabling long-term trend analysis and performance monitoring.
Calibration Tools: The system supports the Force Measurement Test Stands offered by Intercomp for regular calibration and certification, ensuring the continuous accuracy of measurements.
In summary, the LS20 WIM Indicator is a reliable, high-performance measuring device that is indispensable for modern traffic management and weight enforcement tasks where both speed and accuracy are fundamental requirements.
