AB  - The correct determination of the shelf mass including content is very important for the proper function of a universal shelf stacker (USS) drives life and construction USS so that these elements were not overloaded. Weighing can be done by direct methods using various sensors tension and compression but also the indirect method, by the torque sensing of current frequency converter, which controls the speed of the three-phase asynchronous motor. This method does not require any additional construction or adaptation or additional sensors or electronic evaluation system power operation. Weighting method of shelf in USS is based on the fact that the torque converter current is proportional to the sum of the weight of the shelf and the extractor and its value provides almost every frequency converter. In contrast to the direct weighing method of the shelf it is obvious economic advantage of this method and the accuracy is sufficient for the operation of USS.
