The contact-type inline thickness measurement GreCon THICKNESSCONTROL RT measures the thickness of panel materials as e.g. MDF, OSB or chipboards and other materials as leather, caoutchouc, plastics or insulating paper. The smallest plate gaps are sufficient to carry out the automatic calibration. Precise measured values are thus guaranteed at all times.
Benefits at a glance
Reduction of production costs by decrease of the sanding allowance
Continuous quality control and early detection of product deviations
Measurement in high speed production possible due to fast and automatic calibration in smallest panel gaps
High accuracy due to stable frame, high sensor resolution and optimized layout reducing physical influences.
Provision of measured values for closed control loop (e.g. press control)
Provision of automatic raw density determination by integration of weight from board scale
Intelligent and comprehensive data collection for self-diagnostics, predictive maintenance and fast remote support
Intuitive and user-friendly operation by modular software that includes a clear user interface, a comprehensive database, an easy recipe management, a configurable reporting tool and export functions
Provision of communication protocols (OPC, ODBC, gateway, digital I/O, OEM interfaces
Measuring method
The measured values are recorded by contact. Different measurement set-ups are available:
Differential measuring procedure with to measuring heads which are arranged opposite each other
The measured material is scanned from both sides. The two measured values are offset against each other. Thus, vibrations or any unevenness of the panels do not influence the measurement result.
