1. **Definition of Electronic Crane Scale**: An electronic weighing device that measures the mass (weight) of an object while it is in a suspended state is called an electronic crane scale.

2. **Naming Rules**: According to GB3052 standards, the product model is designated as OCS type. The naming and symbolic representation are as follows:

- OCS□ □― Maximum capacity

- □: Wired type Y, Wireless direct display Z

- □: Wireless data transmission type S, Hook suspension type X, Hook type G, Crane type C, Portable type B

3. **Types of Electronic Crane Scales**:

- Based on operational modes, they can be divided into four types: hook suspension, overhead crane, shaft seat, and embedded.

- Based on reading methods, they can be categorized into four types: direct body display (sensor integrated with the body), wired control box display (crane control), large screen display, and wireless transmission instrument display (can be networked with computers).

- Based on sensor types, they can be divided into four categories: resistive strain gauge, piezomagnetic, piezoelectric, and capacitive. Resistive strain gauge is the most commonly used type, suitable for tipping bucket scales.

- Based on operating environments, they can be classified into normal temperature, ultra-low temperature, ultra-high temperature, anti-magnetic insulation, and explosion-proof types.

- Based on data stabilization processing, they can be divided into static-dynamic, quasi-static, and dynamic types. Currently, the most commonly used are static-dynamic and quasi-dynamic types, while the dynamic type is still under development.

4. **Main Advantages and Disadvantages of Electronic Crane Scales**:

- **Advantages**:

1. Reduces operational steps, accelerates measurement speed, conserves manpower, resources, and time, allowing goods to be weighed during lifting and loading/unloading.

2. Does not occupy space, convenient and flexible operation.

3. Enables continuous measurement and provides monitoring control. For example, in electrolytic workshops or metallurgical casting sites, it can monitor the weight of aluminum (steel) water in real-time, maximizing equipment usage and saving energy.

4. Facilitates remote transmission of measurement data, centralized supervision, and keeps operators away from harsh or dangerous working environments.

5. Easily integrates with crane control systems, reducing job positions. Our company has developed multi-functional crane units specifically for electrolytic aluminum workshops, which are organically combined with crane remote controllers.

6. Convenient calibration and error correction.

7. Multi-functional, high precision, strong anti-cheating capability, low maintenance costs.

- **Disadvantages**:

1. Hook suspension type crane scales affect the lifting height of the crane. Overhead crane and shaft seat types require crane modifications, affecting crane operations during maintenance. Embedded types add a weighing element to a specific part of the crane without affecting lifting height or crane operations, representing a current industry development direction.
