Weight Per Unit Area Gauge Sicoscan

Finding out the unrealized potential through the use of weight per unit area gauges One of the most vital factors in the production of wood panels is the constant spreading of material. If tolerances are exceeded, higher material and energy consumption are the consequences. MSX, which constantly moves back and forth across the mat before it enters the hot press, maintains tolerances within the optimum range. The result is homogeneous forming in lengthwise and crosswise directions. The enormous technical developments of “Weight per Unit Area Gauges” of the past years are physically not visible. What are the previous limitations of weight per unit area gauges? The x-ray tube needed a cooling device. This resulted in a reduced lifetime. Electronic Wood Systems developed a detector with extremely high sensitivity – probably unmatched in the world. Due to this new detector the net power could be reduced to a small portion of the permitted power.
