Read all about it…… Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow: The History of Penko, a short summary for those who don’t have time to read the book. Industry 4.0: What is it all about?

In fact, this is how it should be. What is promised must be delivered. So the deliverables have to conform to the specifications in the brochure. This has always been PENKO's philosophy. As of January 1, 2016, this statement is supported by an independent third party. The entire company, including research and development, sales, production and technical services, were granted the certificate 2181683. What makes this extraordinary is the fact that the audit was successful immediately.

In 2014, the 169 member countries of the London-based IMO passed a new regulation to strengthen its existing Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) convention. The new law requires all shipping containers to be accurately weighed, with the weight verifiable before they are allowed to be loaded onto vessels. The regulation will go into effect worldwide on July 1st, 2016.

New force measuring instruments must have more functions and features, be smaller and offer more value for money. PENKO responds to this with a new product range, type 1020-FMD. The instruments are suitable for automatic as well non automatic applications. They are a perfect interface between load cells with an integrated controller to the system for data processing.

This type of measuring axles, operating by means of strain gages, is suitable for a lot of applications. The principle, on shear with a double Wheatstone bridge, matches with existing instrumentation and reduces the effect of undesired influences.
