Benefits at a glance •Complete (100 %) non-contact measurement •Detection and optimisation of material consumption •High accuracy and flexibility due to fine resolution and tareless measurement •Weight measurement of the entire panel and grid evaluation in a selectable resolution •Fluctuations in weight along and across production are immediately detected and can be corrected •Product classification •Confidence against underweight panels or panel sections •Possibility for optimum nominal value adaptation •Little space required for installation •Measuring reliability due to quick calibration •Parallel measurements and comparison of laboratory cuts by HPS and in the laboratory •Calculation of raw density in combination with a thickness gauge •Optional linkage with DIEFFENSOR for automatic regulation Measuring method The HPS 5000 uses the absorption measuring method. One or more X-ray sources are installed above the material flow. High-precision detectors below the material flow measure the residual radiation that has not been absorbed by the material. The weight per unit area and the material distribution can be determined from the degree of attenuation of the specific density of the penetrated material. The panel weight is calculated from the measured weight per unit area considering the panel size. The panels are weighed inline and continuously.
