GreCon America: HPS 5000 material distribution through weight per unit area scanning
The high-precision weight scale (HPS) by GreCon measures the weight per unit area distribution of finished materials (panels) of the whole production run in high resolution. With this, minute deviations in the weight per unit area distribution can be detected.
The HPS provides the exact weight of each panel and the material distribution within the panel. Measuring the whole production run reveals deviations, fluctuations and out of tolerance areas. The HPS uses the absorption measuring method. One or more x-ray sources are installed above the material flow. The high precision detectors are below the material flow and measures the residual radiation that was not absorbed by the material. The weight per unit area and the material distribution can be determined from the degree of attenuation and the specific density of the penetrated material. The panel weight is calculated from the measured weight per unit area considering the panel dimensions. With out interrupting production, the panels are weighted. Gross is net, no tare is being deducted. Even light or short panels can be weighted, independent of the production speed. High-precision scale measuring the weight per unit area of panel boards. The core of the software package is the visualization software. It records, stores and graphically represents all measured data. The simple menu structure, which is identical for all GreCon measuring systems, provides intuitive operations. Clear information and graphics enable the operator to quickly and effectively adjust the production process. Visualization and operation software: 1) Cross profile of current panel 2) Weight per unit area distribution of current panel 3) Long-term distribution of the weight per unit area 4) Proportion of underweight areas 5) Test cut - Segmentation of virtual cut of samples in the HPS software.
