Ron StageMaster Testimonials

Read stories from customers that have purchased our Ron StageMaster Multi-point load monitoring systems.

 

"We have employed the Eilon system for well-over two years. It has performed flawlessly. We use the wireless monitoring and check our tablet every time our loads move.
We have multiple motor points suspending our large LED walls and ensuring that all loads are properly balanced at all times is of critical importance. Other than a battery
change once every six months, there have been zero maintenance issues. If I needed any support, Eilon technical specialists are always a call away. Parts, replacements,
or additional units are a two day FEDEX away."

"We were excited to become aware of the Eilon load cell system in 2007. We had initially been using Analogue Dynamometers when we had critical loads, which required that a climber visit the truss for every read.
In the early nineties we purchased a wired load cell system, which was a fantastic improvement. I recall being delighted that I could effectively watch someone walk across the truss while just staring at the display, because the readings were instantaneous.
The wired system had its problems though. It was time consuming to install, and small wires at the intersection of moderately large forces, is a recipe for problems.
Enter the Eilon system, with robust Dynos which were almost as small as the wired ones, software which provided a far better visualization of the structure(s), and vastly improved data presentation.
We started in late 2007 with a purchase of eight, but in early 2008 bought eight more as we saw how well they were fulfilling our needs.
We made a larger purchase in 2012 which gave us the ability to field three separate systems, with a total of forty eight three ton Dynos.
For our purposes the three ton has been the best capacity increment, although we did buy twenty ten ton Dynos for a specific project.

Over the years we have seen a steady improvement in both the software and hardware, and I feel that they have always responded well to critical feedback.
Whenever I encountered aspects of the system which made my life harder, I felt free to convey this to them, and I find myself now with no complaints, and a system which is about as easy to use as can be.

I have likened it to the difference between an old PC and an iPad. With the PC you were forced to conform to the needs of the computer in order to use it, whereas the iPad felt as though it was making life easier straight away.

The Eilon system, after it has been set up, stays out of the way and does its job, leaving me free to perform the myriad other tasks which I have on any given project."

“For the Moon Man set up at the MTV’s 2013 VMAs we considered it essential to include Eilon’s Ron StageMaster Wireless Load Cells on each two ton, to monitor the loads as they were applied. The dependability and simplicity of the system gave the near-instant feedback which was needed to avoid damaging the building, or the support grid.”

“We chose the Ron StageMaster system after carefully verifying the load monitoring systems of various manufacturers. With the new Ron StageMaster load monitoring system, we developed further and we improved our service on the fair premises. New fair stands can be achieved, the likes of which have never been known before”

Udo Oerther
Head of the SAG in Nuremberg


 

“The Load Cells are excellent and of sturdy construction, resistant and easy to operate just as the software. 
We believe that as a purchase option they are of absolute reliability, easy to use, with precise and constant readings and most definitely a major safety argument for the flying of all types of equipment at major events. 
Thank you for all the support!”

“In the large Production “Game Maker” the venue had never staged a production show before. Normally used as a sports and recreation center, the venue was a bit of a question mark when it came to the technical specification, including all-important load limits.
The Ron StageMaster load cells solved our problem perfectly,” stated Dorottya after the shows. “They were so precise and helped us in so many ways during the rigging procedure. They were an important piece of a comprehensive system that made things safer and gave everybody involved peace of mind.”

Ron Crane Scales Testimonials

Read stories from customers that have purchased our Ron Crane Scales Industrial load monitoring systems.

 

"We are using Eilon Engineering load cells for more than three years with expressive success.
As our tasks are always dangerous, like load tests and lifting operations, one of the most important feature of Eilon´s equipment is reliability. With a safety factor of 5/1, we are very comfortable using these equipment.
Another great feature is the wireless system, also very reliable. So, we can stay far from load test areas, improving the safety of our crew."

We have in our arsenal several in-line wireless load cells from the   Eilon products, ranging from 50t to 200t.
For a recent project we have added the Ron 2501 125t Wireless load cell.
It has been utilized as In-line Tension meter for Subsea mooring installation. The load cell was subjected to both static and dynamic loads and we are extremely happy with the performance and reliability of the product.

"...The Ron Crane scales 2501-H that we have are working great. We are a heavy industrial cast/ductile iron Foundry.  
The Foundry has been around since the late 1800s. Our precision made castings weigh between 12,000 lbs-200,000 lbs. 
We have 3 - 50 ton induction melting furnaces.
We charge our Furnaces with an OH 10 ton crane using a standard Block/Hook. The Ron 2501 scales hang from hook and a 52” DC magnet 
hangs from the scale. Th
e average charging weight is around 8,000 lbs per charge.
The Ron 2501 scales have proven so far to take the heat while charging. The light weight/small design makes it easy to handle when taking off
With the small design height issues we had before no longer exist. 
Overall, I’m pleased with the Ron 2501 for our application..."

Balcones Technologies, LLC under contract with the US Army developed vehicle self-recovery poses for a vehicle equipped with an active suspension. 
The active suspension developed at the University of Texas Center for Electromechanics features high bandwidth controlled actuators on each of the vehicles wheels. 
A test approach was developed for the self-recovery poses which involved measuring the vehicles drawbar pull capacity while tires are spinning and slipping.
The tests were performed on asphalt, dry grass, and gravel. 
It was anticipated that the self-extraction poses would provide momentary improvement in the vehicle traction which could be detected by measuring the drawbar pull force. 
Baseline tests with active suspension off and then test were performed with the suspension while performing various poses. 
A light weight load cell with dynamic measurement capability was desired which led to the selection of the Ron Crane 4000 load cell. 
We chose it with the analog output feature and recorded it on the vehicles data acquisition system.  
The vehicles 24VDC power  was used to power the load cell. The Ron Crane load cell worked well in our application.  
We were able to collect data at 100 samples/sec and demonstrated ability to cyclically improve vehicle traction.
