The paper presents a study of the vibrations in the load cell response of automatic weight fillers for fluids, due to the dynamics of the system.

Abstract

The paper presents a study of the vibrations in the load cell response of automatic weight fillers for fluids, due to the dynamics of the system. The aim is to characterize vibratory phenomena through both experimental and model-based analysis, in order to identify the main causes and identify compensation strategies. Two test campaigns were conducted, on a test bench and on a sixteen stations machine, with the simultaneous acquisition of acceleration signals and load cell signals. A detailed sensitivity analysis based on experimental data, as many system parameters vary, has been developed. For the system modelling, a one Degree of Freedom (1 DoF) model, with lumped parameters and time-variant mass, including fluidic forces, was considered and numerically implemented. Genetic algorithms were used for the identification problems in the model-based analysis. The model allowed a deeper understanding of the phenomena that occur, showing promising results for the vibration prediction in a compensation process.
