Laboratory section measurement with production proximity

GreCon BOARDCONTROL XL

Home Measurement Technology Products BOARDCONTROL XL

GreCon BOARDCONTROL XL brings production reality into the laboratory: weight, thickness, bulk density and now also the width of board cuts are measured contact-free using laser and X-ray technology – quickly, precisely and without manual preparation. This creates a reliable database for quality assurance and accelerated approval processes.

Fast. Objective. Process-oriented. GreCon BOARDCONTROL XL

In laboratory practice, time and reliable data are what count. BOARDCONTROL XL reduces waiting times and replaces error-prone manual measurement with automated precision. Using a combination of X-ray, laser and new width measurement technology, the system measures cut quality objectively and reliably. It detects fluctuations early on, documents them precisely and thus strengthens feedback into your production.

This means less effort, greater reliability and well-founded decisions based on reliable data.

As a contactless measuring system, BOARDCONTROL XL provides precise analyses of laboratory samples – in the laboratory or directly on the production line. In a single, automated run, the system measures thickness, basis weight, width and the calculated bulk density. The basis: laser optical triangulation or contact measurement, high-resolution X-ray technology and a new width measurement module. Additional measurement variables can be integrated on a modular basis as an option.

The result: objective data in less than a minute – without any sample preparation. BOARDCONTROL XL thus provides the basis for stable board quality, well-founded recipe approvals and targeted use of materials.

Measurement is stationary and contactless. The laboratory sections are placed in a sample frame and automatically guided through the measuring range. There is no need for time-consuming division or preparation.
 

  • Thickness measurement by triangulation: A laser scans the material surface and a camera records the reflection. The exact thickness is calculated from the angle offset.
  • Thickness measurement with contact roller measuring heads.
  • Area weight measurement via X-ray: An X-ray source below the material and a sensor above it detect the specific radiation absorption.
  • Width measurement: Newly integrated module for precise measurement of the panel width.
  • Bulk density calculation: The bulk density is automatically derived from the area weight and thickness.

BOARDCONTROL XL reduces laboratory work, speeds up feedback to production and avoids variations due to operator influence. Accurate, graphically and numerically processed measurement results enable targeted intervention in the processes – for example, to reduce material usage or to ensure minimum quality standards.

 

New features include the travel strategy, which enables almost complete measurement of the panel length, and digital protocol transfer: measurement data is automatically stored on the customer's server – no more printouts are necessary.
