AVC – Active Vibration Compensation: Silence the Shake, Capture the True Weight

From sorting centers and elevated platforms to mobile systems, vibrations occur everywhere. Conveyors, forklifts, or resonances from machinery create constant disturbances that distort weight measurements.

Conventional countermeasures—such as decoupling platforms or constructing massive support structures—are often impractical, expensive, and space-consuming. The result: weighing accuracy suffers, leading to compliance issues, lost revenue, and inefficiencies.

Wipotec’s AVC solves the problem at the source with sensor-driven compensation technology.
An AVC module contains two Weigh Cells working in tandem:

• Primary cell: measures actual weight + vibration influences.
• Secondary cell: senses only the vibration component.

The system electronically subtracts the disturbance from the measurement signal—leaving only the true product weight. This principle allows AVC to filter out vibrations across all axes: tilting, vertical motion, and forward/backward oscillations..

AVC technology is available as an integrated feature in Wipotec Weigh Cells or as a standalone module. This flexibility enables:

• Compact machine designs, free of oversized foundations.
• Easy retrofitting into existing systems.
• Simpler installation without additional isolation infrastructure.

By eliminating the need for complex mechanical solutions, AVC streamlines machine integration and reduces overall costs.

Vibrations don’t just impact accuracy—they can directly affect profitability. In logistics, for example, weight errors caused by vibration may lead to incorrect parcel categorization and lost revenue. By safeguarding precise measurement, AVC turns accuracy into a financial advantage.

At the same time, consistent precision minimizes calibration intervals, ensures compliance in regulated industries, and boosts overall system efficiency.

AVC is now a standard feature in Wipotec’s high-performance weighing systems. By combining intelligent electronics with robust engineering, AVC guarantees reliable weighing results even in the harshest, vibration-heavy environments.

For industries where speed, accuracy, and compact design must go hand in hand, AVC represents the decisive edge.
