The X-ray scanner GreCon MATCONTROL HF determines the weight per unit area across the width of endless materials on the production line. Compared with usual weighing systems, the operator obtains a complete picture of the material distribution of the endless material directly after forming. The information on the material distribution can be used to intervene in the forming process using suitable tools (e.g. FORMATOR, adjusting tables). Because of the high resolution in a square millimetre range, an exact determination of the size and position of foreign objects is possible. Both metallic and non-metallic materials that are out of the density tolerance of the measured product (e.g. glue or fibre lumps, plastics, light metal parts or material overspreading) are detected. Even hot spots and wet spots that may impair the production process of insulating materials, can be detected.
BENEFITS AT A GLANCE
•Complete non-contact measurement of the weight per unit area
•High accuracy and flexibility due to fine resolution
•Optimisation of material consumption thanks tothrough analysis of longitudinal and cross profile
•foreign opject detection for protection against damages (e.g. steel belt protection, hot spots, wet spots, etc.)
•Longer life of the steel belts
•Process-related, systematic deviations are shown and can be reduced.
•Material, glue and energy can clearly be reduced.
•Can be combined with segmented scalper to form a FORMATOR
