Fagus-GreCon brings its 50 years of experience to the furniture industry, offering customized measuring solutions designed to enhance production efficiency and quality. Precision demands are critical to success, and our technologies facilitate the shift to more efficient production processes.

Our measuring solutions have proven themselves across numerous industries, including the furniture sector. Whether working with wood, plastics, or composite materials, we provide precise data and reliable results, enabling our customers to make their production efficient and future-proof.

Measuring Technology for Perfect Wood - The Foundation for High-Quality Furniture

Producing high-quality furniture requires flawless material. For instance, the thickness of wood-based materials is crucial, as it affects not only the precision fit and stability of finished products but also the efficient use of raw materials. To meet these requirements, Fagus-GreCon offers the THICKNESSCONTROL series, reliable thickness measuring solutions specifically developed for flexible use in various production lines. Depending on the need, the series includes THICKNESSCONTROLRT and LT: The RT system uses a contact-based differential measuring method, while the LT system performs non-contact laser measurement.

Surface Control, Density Measuring Systems, and Precise Specifications for Optimal Quality

In addition to accurate thickness measurement, density distribution is vital for the stability and quality of furniture. Systems like STENOGRAPH and DENSITYPROFILER support this by capturing the raw density profile and providing manufacturers with valuable measurement data.

Furthermore, the MATCONTROL family ensures precise monitoring of surface weight in various production environments. With MATCONTROL, furniture manufacturers can process materials not only stably but also resource-efficiently.

Efficiency Gains Through Precise Surface Inspection

A key factor in furniture production is the quality of finished surfaces. As customers increasingly demand higher aesthetic and functional standards, monitoring surface quality becomes essential.

Unlike traditional camera-based systems, EDGEINSPECT employs innovative, laser-based 3D geometry measurement specifically developed for precise edge and coating inspection.

EDGEINSPECT’s real-time monitoring enables automatic production control and immediate detection of defects. Using up to two combinable compact laser sensors, both the narrow edge and the transitions to the upper and lower surfaces are simultaneously monitored.

This not only reduces waste but also increases productivity while lowering costs. Precise measurement data ensures that surface defects are identified early, ensuring smooth production and higher final quality.
