Abstract
An optical scanner with a floating load cell frame. The optical scanner includes a plurality of planar load cells and a frame for tying the planar load cells together in order to counteract side loads and minimize corresponding spreading of the planar load cells. In one embodiment, the optical scanner includes four planar load cells and the floating frame includes two to four frame members that tie the planar load cells together.
