Model HPS 5000 -Mat Optimiser
The new High-Precision Scale HPS 5000 by GreCon measures the weight per unit area distribution of finished panels directly after the press or saw in high resolution and across the entire material width. With the absorption measuring method of x-ray technology, minute deviations in the weight per unit area distribution can be detected in a non-contact way. The HPS 5000 provides the exact weight of each panel and the material distribution within the panel. Measuring across and along production immediately reveals deviations, fluctuations and out of tolerance areas. Represented as key figures, the results can be made available via an OPC interface and serve to monitor the weighing technology in the forming line. Automatic calibration ensures reliable measured values. Thus, the HPS 5000 guarantees reliable and resource-conserving production.
The HPS 5000 is the board scale with the H-factor! With high resolution, each mm² of the board surface is measured. Due to the overall measurement, any deviations, fluctuations and tolerance deviations are shown immediately and can be retrieved via an OPC interface. Based on an automatic calibration, which is also independent of the production process, the measured value is reliable. A reliable and resource-friendly production is ensured.
Resulting from the measurement philosophy, the longitudinal and the crosswise measurement of the boards becomes another useful advantage of the system. Similar to the CS 5000, there are only small installation dimensions required, and the production speed does not impair the measuring result. "H" stands for high accuracy, high availability and immediate amortisation - these are the features of the HPS 5000.

HPS after the Press or Cross Cut Saw
The HPS is the optimum solution for production lines running at very high speeds, for an unfavourable ratio of tare and panel weight and/or for small spaces.
Optionally, the HPS can be linked with a GreCon Thickness Gauge to calculate the average raw density as well as its distribution within the panel and to optimise the production process. Thus, all production reserves can be exploited for optimisation.
Besides weight measurement, the material fluctuations of each panel are determined along and across the production direction. The weighing technology in the forming line can be monitored. The measured values are visualised and stored in a database and can be used to adjust and optimise the production process with the goal to reduce material consumption.

Calibration
The HPS 5000 is equipped with a calibration check, using a sample drawer with which samples cut fromproduction are measured during production.
The sample measurement simulates the procedure of laboratory cuts, based on the measured data of the HPS. The recipe-specific μ-value is adjusted to the measured absorption coefficient (μ-value), which represents the material-specific attenuation of the x-radiation.
