Measurement technology solutions for industry

Weight per unit area measurement is a crucial parameter in many industrial applications. Systems such as GreCon MATCONTROL use X-ray technology to precisely measure the weight per unit area of material strands. This technology enables optimal material distribution. Its use also provides an important basis for maintaining consistently high product quality, thereby minimising material waste.

Thickness measurement systems such as GreCon THICKNESSCONTROL measure material thickness even at the highest production speeds. These systems are suitable for use in many industries, including the wood-based panel industry, the metalworking industry and the plastics industry. They provide reliable thickness measurements, which are crucial for minimising production errors and ensuring compliance with specifications.

The detection of foreign objects in materials is another important aspect of industrial measurement technology. GreCon MATCONTROL detects both metallic and non-metallic foreign objects in real time. This capability is crucial for monitoring product safety and quality and preventing damage to machinery. GreCon CHIPINSPECTOR is able to filter foreign objects such as stones, metal or plastic out of the raw material at the beginning of the production chain.

Moisture measurement is important for various bulk goods and materials and is used in a wide range of industries. Systems such as GreCon MOISTURECONTROL measure moisture content precisely. These measurements help to ensure that materials retain their optimal properties and reduce quality problems that could arise from moisture fluctuations.

In the wood-based materials industry, it is important to analyse the particle size distribution of raw materials. The GreCon PARTICLEVIEW 3D laboratory system measures the size and distribution of chips in order to control the quality of the materials. This information helps to optimise the use of raw materials and the processing of the materials.

Density measurement is an important parameter in the processing of solid materials such as wood-based panels. The GreCon DENSITYPROFILER laboratory system measures the density of material samples to enable conclusions to be drawn about quality and the processing process. Continuous density monitoring using the GreCon DENSITYPROFILER IL inline version allows deviations to be detected at an early stage and adjustments to be made to the production parameters.

Another area of application for industrial measurement technology is surface inspection. GreCon EDGEINSPECT is used for edge inspection and reliably detects unevenness, cracks, dents or other surface defects. It uses high-precision laser measurement that does not require any training phase.

Fibre measurement is an important process in the wood-based materials industry, among others. Systems such as GreCon FIBERVIEW enable optical fibre measurement. The data can be used to analyse the properties of wood fibres in order to optimise the quality of the end product. These measurements also help to control the pulping process and enable efficient use of raw materials.

Monitoring gas concentrations is extremely important in many industrial processes. Gas analysis systems measure the composition and concentration of various gases in real time. This is particularly important for safety, process optimisation and environmental monitoring in production facilities. A GreCon GASANALYSER can be used to measure formaldehyde emissions in various ways.

Modern weighing systems such as GreCon BOARDSCALE enable precise control of material quantities during the production process. This contributes to quality assurance and helps to minimise material losses.

Edge inspection, as performed by GreCon EDGEINSPECT, is an important part of quality control in the wood-based materials industry. The system uses precise laser measurement to detect unevenness, cracks or other surface defects on the edges of panels without the need for a learning phase.

Accurate length measurements are required in many production processes. GreCon LENGTHCONTROL enables precise recording of material lengths, which is important for complying with product specifications and optimising material consumption.

In the wood-based materials industry, early detection of splits (cracks or gaps in the material) is extremely important. Early split detection systems help to identify quality problems at an early stage and minimise production downtime. GreCon DELAMINATIONCONTROL offers full-surface inline early split detection using ultrasonic technology.

Monitoring wear and tear on production equipment is crucial for operational safety and efficiency. Systems such as GreCon BELTVIEW are used to detect wear and tear and can continuously monitor the condition of machines and plant components.
