Abstract
(Problem) To provide a high precision platform scale (Means to Solve the Problem) A platform scale for weighing an object to be weighed by supporting it by a plurality of load detection sections, wherein the load detection section comprises a load sensorhaving a block bodyfor transmitting an applied load to a tuning fork vibratorcoupled to the block bodyby reducing the load, a circuit board having fabricated thereon circuitry for converting a signal from the tuning fork vibrator into a digital signal and a sensor casefor accommodating the load sensor and the circuit board. The sensor caseis made by casting stainless material by a lost wax process and is directly coupled to parallel base framesfor maintaining the distance between the base frames. The sensor case has sufficient mechanical strength and also acts as a structural member for the base frames, thereby reducing the number of components and the height of a weighing table.
