Today's high speeds in thin-board production do no longer allow for a measurement stop. Besides, mechanical board scales render inaccurate results because of the unfavourable ratio between tare weight and board weight. Conti-Scale is a continuous board scale, measuring the board weight very accurately during conveyance. That includes, of course, endless board in continuous production.
Especially during thick-board production it is most advantageous that the weight distribution can be assessed as well. For it enables to optimise forming, resulting in raw material savings and acceleration of the entire process.
In combination with data obtained from a thickness gauge it is possible to assess the density distribution within the boards.
Function:
CONTI-SCALE is a non-contact measuring system using several sensors to assess the weight distribution in longitudinal and transverse direction.
In combination with a thickness gauge the density distribution is displayed.

Benefits:
(The exposure rate at a distance of 0.1 m to the source during 50 h is equal to the exposure rate a person receives from space during a 10 h flight at 12000 m altitude.)
