Patent ID: 8134090

Claim:
A method for weighing at least one object that is movable along a transport path in a direction of movement, the method including: (a) arranging a number of essentially adjacent, respectively active independent weighing cells along a weighing cell line which crosses the transport path in a direction transverse to the direction of movement, each respective weighing cell being mechanically coupled to a respective transport device which is adapted to transport at least a portion of the at least one object along the transport path, and each respective weighing cell generating a respective weighing signal in response to weighing the at least one object while such object is at least partially supported by the transport device coupled to that respective weighing cell; (b) selecting respective weighing signals for coupling as a function of the size of the object, or the position of the object, or both the size of the object and the position of the object; and (c) coupling two or more of the respective weighing signals.
