Technical data
3.1
General
LASSTEC™ is a container weighing system installed on a container spreader to determine the Verified Gross Mass (VGM). It is based on
Fiber Optic (FO) technology and measures the elongation of each Twistlock to calculate the applied weight on each Twistlock and from
this the mass of the container.
To enable the weight measurement with the Twistlocks, the original ones are replaced by Twistlocks equipped with a fibre-bragg-gratin
(FBG) sensor. The Sensors are connected to an evaluation unit called interrogator which it mounted in a cabinet on the spreader and
analyses the FBG signals, calculates the weights and sends them to a display (e.g.: in the driver cabin of a crane) where they are displayed
to the driver. They can also be sent to secondary devices (e.g.: to a Terminal Operating System) via several communication protocols.
