The Inline Continuous Board Scale GreCon BOARDSCALE T makes automatic monitoring of the material distribution and the panel weight possible. BOARDSCALE T is ideal for production lines with very high production speeds and in limited space conditions. Contrary to the usual board scales using weighing tables, BOARDSCALE T shows the weight distribution within the measured panel across production.
Using the optional link to a GreCon THICKNESSCONTROL, the average raw density and its distribution within the panels can also be calculated and used to optimise the process.
Benefits at a glance
•Prevent manufacturing faulty panel weights
•Assurance of product quality and material consumption optimisation
•Monitoring of material distribution and panel weight on a continuous basis
•Ideal for high production speeds
•Installation in limited space conditions possible (e.g. press extensions)
•Calibration with homogeneous test samples allows precise measurements
•Saving of the weighing table
•No dependence on the tare - ideal for thin plates
Measuring method
The continuous board scale operates in a non-contact way. For measurement, the material to be weighed is penetrated by X-rays. Depending on the material quantity and the specific weight of the material, the radiation intensity measured by the sensor changes. This is the measure for the weight per unit area (kg/m²).
Applications
•Wood based panels: before or after cross cut saw
•Insulating material: hot end or cold end
•Electrical insulation material (transformer board): after the press
