The UNI-T by Motion Laboratories Inc. is a portable diagnostic and verification tool designed specifically for testing MLI load cells and Soft Limit encoders used in MLI chain hoist systems. Compact and field-ready, the UNI-T allows technicians to quickly verify sensor operation during installation, commissioning, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
By combining the functionality of both a load cell tester and an encoder tester into a single device, the UNI-T simplifies service workflows and reduces the need for multiple pieces of test equipment. When a component is connected, the UNI-T automatically detects whether the device is a load cell or an encoder and immediately begins displaying operational feedback. Manual selection of the feedback type is available but typically unnecessary, allowing for faster setup and easier diagnostics.
A responsive LCD touchscreen display provides clear measurement feedback and status indicators, helping technicians confirm proper signal integrity and identify potential faults. Dedicated connectors support both 5-pin analog load cells and 6-pin digital load cells or encoders, enabling quick connection to the sensors used throughout MLI systems.
Designed with portability in mind, the UNI-T operates on an internal rechargeable lithium battery for convenient field use. The device can also be powered or charged through its USB-C connection, which supports simultaneous operation and charging, ensuring the unit is ready whenever it is needed. The display includes a battery status indicator so users can easily monitor available power.
Whether used in the shop, on site during system commissioning, or during routine service checks, the UNI-T provides a reliable and efficient way for trained technicians to confirm proper operation of critical MLI feedback devices.
