Your Benefit ■■ Optimisation of material consumption ■■ Monitoring of material distribution ■■ Fast traverse movement - quick and strip-wise measurement of the cross profile to quickly intervene in the production process ■■ Measurement of the longitudinal profile for detection of systematic distribution failures lengthwise/crosswise ■■ Automatic calibration with homogeneous test samples for best quality of measured values ■■ Intuitive operation using TOUCH ■■ Display of optimisation potentials ■■ Flexible use with various products ■■ Additional possibility for weight per unit area measurement...

Inline Weight Per Unit Area Measurement with X-Ray Technology The continuous monitoring of the mat distribution across the production prior to the main press ensures an optimum production flow. Belt tracking caused by imbalances in the mat can be prevented. The recorded measured data makes it possible to easily trace production processes to expose optimisation potentials. With the BWQ 5000 information combined with other process data in a higher-ranking process control system, additional optimisation potentials are revealed. Measuring Principle The weight per unit area gauge works in a non-contact...

Software Functions The visualisation software of all GreCon measuring systems is based on Windows®. The software of the traversing Weight Per Unit Area Gauge BWQ 5000 consists of the following program modules: ■■ Network Connection For the data transmission to higher-ranking process control systems, different network connections, such as OPC or ODBC, are available. ■■ Visualisation The core of the software package is the visualisation software. It records all measured values and processes them graphically. The simple menu structure, which is standard for all GreCon meas-uring systems, makes intuitive...

GreCon measuring systems are equipped with GreCon online support SATELLITE. This provides safe, simple and fast remote support when there is trouble or to check the system. Each online support is logged and stored in the system‘s history. ■■ Automatic Calibration The quality of the measuring results essentially depends on constant conditions during measurement. To obtain a high measuring accuracy, the BWQ 5000 is calibrated automatically at regular intervals. For automatic calibration, an appropriate sample is placed in the calibration position, which is located near the material flow. BWQ calibration...

■■ Particleboard ■■ MDF board ■■ HDF board ■■ Hardboard ■■ OSB board ■■ Insulating material (mineral wool and insulating board) ■■ Machined car parts ■■ Rigid foam board In particleboard and OSB board production lines, the traversing weight per unit area gauge is installed directly after the forming station. In MDF production lines, it is used after the pre-press. An additional measurement of the completed panels is also possible. This is especially useful where the measurement of the material distribution prior to the press is impossible or additional information is desired. Diverse application...
