Introduction
The document describes the UPU 2500 Ultrasonic Measuring System by Fagus-GreCon Greten GmbH & Co. KG, designed for inline delamination detection in thick panels such as particleboard, MDF, OSB, and LVL. It highlights the system's benefits, construction, software, and technical specifications.

Benefits
The UPU 2500 system reduces complaints and rejects by detecting irregularities in production and panel homogeneity. It allows for quick intervention by visualizing process trends, optimizing pressing times, and revealing reserve capacities and hidden costs.

System Features
The system detects, marks, and visualizes defects, providing fast feedback on production changes. It is specifically designed for thick panels and can be combined with a thickness gauge. The system includes a database for measuring data, trending, calibration data, system settings, and history.

Quality Control
The UPU 2500 ensures high-quality standards by detecting hidden defects in panels up to 100 mm thick for particleboard, MDF, and OSB, and up to 200 mm for LVL. It marks defects and signals for sorting, with a visualization system that shows defect size and position.

System Construction
The system's inspection channels are mounted on an aluminum frame with integrated cable and compressed air ducts. Transmitters below the material generate ultrasonic energy, which is directed to receivers through the panel.

Software
The system's software, based on Windows, includes modules for recipe management, visualization, and an SQL database. It records, stores, and graphically represents measured data, allowing for intuitive operation and easy reading of panel quality.

Network Connection
The system supports data transmission to higher-ranking process control systems via network connections like OPC.

Service
GreCon provides online support through SATELLITE for remote troubleshooting and system checks, with each session logged and stored.
