the process never stops.
neither does our measurement.

precision for the process line.

heavy industry runs on measurement that has to survive the process it's monitoring. VPG supplies the weighing, force, tension, and strain sensing technology that keeps mills, plants, fleets, and materials labs accurate under continuous duty.

from rolling mills to packaging lines, load cells and tension sensors give operators real-time control over force, weight, and material flow.

trucks, ships, and rail cars carry loads that punish standard sensors, so VPG's weighing and force measurement are built to survive the environment they operate in.

thermomechanical simulation and structural test validate new alloys and processes before they ever reach the production floor.

VPG's reach across heavy industry now spans nine more verticals: railway and transit, marine and shipbuilding, materials R&D and testing, industrial and commercial weighing, process weighing and control, sensor and transducer OEM manufacturing, mining and quarrying, pulp and paper, and civil and structural infrastructure, with new markets added as fast as our divisions can serve them.

metals and mining

rolling mills, laser thickness gauges, and haul trucks all run on measurement that has to survive heat, vibration, and constant duty cycles. VPG's roll force and tension sensing, ruggedized weighing, and thermomechanical simulation span the mill floor from the rolls themselves to the alloys running through them.

steelmaking and mining weighing, from torpedo cars, ladle, tundish and converter through crane overload protection, coil and scrap handling, and haul truck payload.

roll force and tension load cells for tandem cold mills and hot strip mills, direct-measuring the force agc systems depend on.

onboard weighing for haul trucks and mining fleet vehicles, keeping payloads at the legal and operational limit.

load cells for mill stand test and haul truck suspension and axle validation.

thermomechanical simulation for alloy development and hot rolling process qualification.

food and beverage / pharma gmp

hygienic weighing, batch control, and filling lines run under GMP requirements that leave no room for measurement error. VPG's weighing and force sensing technology holds accuracy through washdown cycles and continuous production, and our roll and tension measurement heritage carries over to film and foil packaging line converting.

commercial transport and fleet

road haulage, refuse trucks, and tanker fleets run every day on axle and payload limits that keep drivers legal and vehicles safe. VPG's onboard weighing and force sensing give fleet operators the accuracy, efficiency and safety they need without slowing down the route.

load cells and sensors qualified to aec-q200 for tanker and liquid bulk transport electronics.

onboard and in-vehicle weighing for heavy-duty vehicle OEMs, covering haulers, loaders, articulated dump trucks and mining vehicles.

bulk material handling

quarries, ports, and grain terminals move bulk material around the clock, and every ton has to be accounted for. VPG's onboard and process weighing technology tracks that material from the point of load to the point of delivery.

agriculture and precision farming

embedded yield monitoring, planting downforce, and onboard grain cart weighing keep modern farm equipment running at the edge of precision agriculture. VPG's force sensing and onboard weighing technology give equipment manufacturers and growers accurate, field-ready measurement from the planter to the grain bin.

load cells and force sensors for planting downforce, row-unit force sensing, and embedded yield monitoring systems.

onboard weighing for grain carts, agricultural trailers, and sprayer and fertilizer-tank payload monitoring.

construction and mobile equipment

cranes, telehandlers, and earthmoving equipment all run on load and angle measurement that has to hold up on the jobsite. VPG's force sensing, onboard weighing, and crane load monitoring technology keep operators within safe working limits from the boom tip to the bucket.

load cells for boom-load, load-moment, and outrigger monitoring, plus equipment test and calibration stands.
