www.sprecher-automation.com SPRESCAN MOISTURE-190/-390 Non-contact in-line moisture meters

Sprecher‘s moisture meters – Internationally approved Sprecher Automation provides appropriate moisture meters for almost all imaginable application areas: veneers, lumber, billets or sawn timber and lamellas. More than 400 moisture meters are in use all over the world. From Chile/Tierra del Fuego, Scandinavia and Middle Europe to Asia, Australia and New Zealand - in all climatic zones, wood moisture is measured with Sprecher’s scanners. With the SPRESCAN MOISTURE 190/-390 series, Sprecher Automation provides non-contact moisture meters for longitudinal and transverse conveying. The maximum...

Then calibration data is assigned to a program number (category of species and dimensions) and stored. For each program number, calibration has to be accomplished only once. Available calibration methods are 2-point method and multipoint method. Measurement All measured boards can be divided into 5 moisture ranges. The average moisture value of each board as well as the overall average moisture value of the package together with the total number of pieces are displayed. All calculated data can be printed (see accessories, page 10). Additionally, results can be transmitted to a PC and...

Moisture sensor rectangular Automatic temperature compensation Automatic temperature compensation The SPRESCAN MOISTURE meters automatically compensate changes in environmental temperature as well as recalibrate during production down times. Automatic dirt compensation The systems also compensate affections from dirt that may cover the sensor(s) after a certain production time. Transverse Conveying (up to 8 sensors can be cascaded) 6

Three different types of calibration methods are available. With calibration boards of known moisture contents, calibration points are “taught” in. The system automatically calculates the calibration curve by which all pieces are measured in “measurement mode”. MC Analysis for...

The system evaluates the current moisture content as well as the overall average moisture of each board. Also spot skipping (i.e. knots) is supported. By inlcuding moisture limits (A, B, C), the system evaluates the condition of the item (”too dry”, “too wet” or “ok”). average moisture target moisture LENGTH MOISTURE CURVE average moisture SWITCHING DIAGRAM actual: total: total number of pcs: volume [m3]: meas. 2 packet END MC MC „New calculation“ Multi-point method This function retrospectively allows correction of the last calibration.

Data collection with DA900: Kiln report (representation: bar graph) Colour marking systems Accessories Sprecher Automation offers comprehensive accessories for all SPRESCAN MOISTURE systems: from hardware (like marking systems) to software (data collection and data analysis). Width and Thickness Measurement Modules For specific applications with random dimensions, Sprecher Automation offers features for width- or thickness-related measurement. As an accessory, a separated width/thickness control system can be installed for measurement and analysis, which can be applied to either...

Data collection with DA900: package report (representation: standard deviation) Data collection with DC900 or DC-light Reporting Data Collection Software DC900 Reports (daily, package, single or customer reports) can be printed out via a matrix printer, which is directly connected to the serial interface of the control unit. In order to further process data, all evaluated data can be exported from the control unit as CSV files with the data collection software (data transfer via RS232 or Ethernet). Data Analysis Software DA900 With the data analysis software DA900, the CSV files can be...
