mtgBATCH: up to 30 boards per minute
How does it work?
The mtgBATCH system predicts the strength class of a wooden board moving on any suitable third party cross conveyor by computing the dynamic Modulus of Elasticity (MoEdyn) and the Density (ρ)
MOEdyn = ρV2 with V = 2 Lf
ρ = density, computed from weight and dimensions measurement (optional)
V = longitudinal velocity
L = length of the board
F = frequency of the longitudinal vibration
A mechanical device hits the board in order to create a vibration which is measured by a stress wave detector. The density (ρ) results from the weight measurement (optional) and dimensions settings (either selected from a user interface or as input for the existing production line).
The strength class is then predicted via a mathematical model.
A proven and reliable technique.
