Load maximum legal loads at the loading point the first time loaded-haul more tons per trip
Save time loading, waiting to check weigh and reloading – haul more loads per day
Eliminate overweight fines - Reduce commercial scale fees
Stop hauling free tonnage and giving material away - weight in excess of the contracted weight
Prox switch installation
The Tuffer weigh-in-motion scale operates on any brand, size of bucket loader. The system incorporates external sensors. The sensors measure change in the hydraulic lift pressure, which is directly proportional to the load lifted and converts it to a digital readout. The Tuffer scale meter, mounted in the cab, interprets these sensors signals and displays the individual lift weights and cumulative totals by material, customer number, or other preferences. The Tuffer weigh-in-motion is also equipped with a two-second last bucket tip-off function, which makes it much faster and easier to get the correct loaded weight the first time.
Load Out & Haul more Tons/Day: The Tuffer Weigh-In-Motion Bucket Loader Scale will provide the information to load maximum weights faster and keep trucks moving without going to a central scale location and back to the pit. This means you get increased productivity on every load, every day. Onboard scales make it easier and faster to load accurate weights every time and Tuffer is designed to do the job and survive the rugged environments found in Quarry and other loading operations. The Tuffer can be installed on most existing Bucket Loaders which gives you the opportunity to increase your capability and efficiency while eliminating material loss due to overloading without knowing it. Accurate loading also eliminates stopping at a public scale or getting overload fines the reduce profits. With the optional printer installed you can get all the weight data printed at the pit and eliminate the extra step of weighing at a central scale. This saves time and money.
Why it saves you money: Loading light to avoid over weight fines can cost a company thousands of dollars a year in lost profits. When your trucks are paid for how much weight they deliver you want your trucks to carry their maximum load each time you send a truck on a job. Not only is it important that your trucks carry their maximum load but your bucket loader must be able to load the trucks quickly and accurately to be cost effective to use. When the truck driver has to stop at the scale get a weight to see if they are light or heavy. It can be very costly retuning to the pit to load or unload product. This takes valuable time and increases the cost of the product. It just makes sense to load the truck right the first time.
What you should know about the Hydraulics, of any loader. Because the Hydraulic Pressure of the bucket is tied in to the steering. The Hydraulic Pressure changes as you turn. So to over come this issue after you pick up a load and are ready to load the truck, make sure the wheels are in the forward (straight) position. Than lift the bucket, after the weight is recorded you can dump the load. With the Tuffer technology will over come any slight pressure off set. Note: Do not install any bucket loader system on any loaders that are poorly maintained. Under powered loader can cause hydraulics to surge. This is caused by over sized buckets installed on your loader. Hydraulic leak can degrade the performance of any system.

The Reweigh Feature of the Tuffer Weigh-in-Motion Loader Scale (Instructional Video)
What you need to install scale: • The customer to have a welder and welding machine to weld brackets to the machine. The main welding for this system is the PROX switches that are use to start and end the weight window. • The customer to have a mechanic on site to tap into hydraulic system. • Tools for install.
What you need to calibrate scale: • Customer is responsible for known weight! Calibration of this system requires a known weight. A weighbridge and truck will be needed to verify the known weight of the material used for calibration.
Note: The weighing system is hydraulic based. The hydraulic system on the machine MUST be free of any leaks or defects. Mechanically, the machine must be sound. Free of play in boom upper structure. And of clay are we created by isabel allende pdf. Any discrepancies in the areas will result in improper operation of the weighing system.

The MCP7810V TUFFER Printer is an ultra-compact, lightweight portable printer with an 'easyload' paper feature. Housed in a new innovative enclosure this printer has an RS232 serial interface via a 6-way RJ12 socket. Designed for maximum versatility, the MCP7810V is compatible with existing systems whilst allowing many upgrades in terms of printing speed and functionality. It requires an unregulated power supply ranging from 10-35V dc and has maintenance free operation, only available with thermal printers. The Printer is designed for use in a vehicular environment. All units are built with robust ABS housings. In additional, a tough rubber boot with magnetic mounting allows for quick location and placement of the printer without any other accessory equipment.

Tuffer - Proximity Switch Install
INSTALLING THE PROXIMITY SWITCH BRACKET
STEP 1 Raise the boom on the loader so that the bucket is just below truck loading height. Use a large ‘C’ clamp to hold the proximity switch bracket (part number 25-00400-01) in place as near to the pivot point of the boom as possible. Refer to Figure 6. Position the bracket so that the middle hole on the upper half of the bracket is near the middle of the boom.
NOTE: If there is not enough room to fit the proximity switch bracket outside of the boom and frame, it can be attached to the inside of the frame. Check carefully for interference with other parts of the loader!.
STEP 2 Use a second ‘C’ clamp to hold the adjustable target plate (part number 25-00401-01) in place horizontally in the middle of the boom of the loader. The large flange of the target plate should face the boom.
The target plate should be visible through all six holes in the proximity switch bracket as it passes by. Refer to Figure 7.
Figure 7, Target Plate Placement
STEP 3 Adjust the width of the target plate so that there is approximately one inch between the proximity switch bracket and the target plate. Refer to Figure 8. Tighten both adjustment bolts on the target plate.
Figure 8, Target Plate Adjustment
STEP 4 Move the loader onto a hill that slopes to the left. Raise and lower the boom several times, so that the boom moves as far to the left on its pivot pins as possible. Check the spacing between the proximity switch bracket and the target plate: it should be between 7/8” and 1 1/8”. Move the loader onto a hill that slopes to the right. Raise and lower the boom several times, so that the boom moves as far to the left on its pivot pins as possible. Again, check the spacing between the proximity switch bracket and the target plate: it should be between 7/8” and 1 1/8”. Make sure that the spacing does not change more than 1/8”. Permanent damage to the proximity switches will occur if the target plate comes in contact with the proximity switches!
Remove one of the large nuts from each of the two proximity switches (part number 81-00555-01). Insert the switch marked “UPPER” into the middle hole on the top half of the proximity switch bracket and the switch marked “LOWER” into the middle hole on the bottom half of the proximity switch bracket. The flat plastic face of each switch should point toward the target plate. Replace the large nuts to hold each switch in place. Do NOT over tighten the proximity switch nuts! Damage may result! Adjust the nuts on each proximity switch so that there is 1/4” between the face of the proximity switch and the target plate. Refer to Figure 9.
STEP 2
SLOWLY raise the boom and check to see that the proximity switches do NOT come in contact with the target plate. Adjust the nuts on the proximity switches if necessary. Check the spacing on a left sloping and a right sloping hill as in step 4 on page 14. The spacing between the proximity switches and the target plate should be between 1/8” and 3/8”. Check to see that the proximity switch bracket and the target plate do not come into contact with each other, or with other parts of the loader (hydraulic cylinders, hoses, etc.) Adjust the position of the target plate or the proximity switch bracket if necessary. Lower the boom so that the target plate is at the level of the proximity switch in the bottom half of the proximity switch bracket. The boom should be above carry position. If not, the proximity switch can be moved up one hole.
STEP 3
Route the cable on the proximity switch harness through the tube in the proximity switch bracket and back to the cab. Secure with wire ties. Attach the metal connector at the end of the proximity switch harness to the connector on the back of the Tuffer labeled, “Proximity Switches”.
