The QualitySpec OSB system provides continuous on-line analysis of key product parameters.
It is designed specifically for compatibility and full integration into existing communications with most plant IT systems enabling uninterrupted real-time analysis.
"This technology is the latest in world-class measurement tools for integrated on-line process monitoring and quality control" says Michael Lands, director of business development for ASD.
"We are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Dynea and manufacturers in the wood products industry".
The QualitySpec OSB is a rapid, non-destructive, and post-dispersive style system with extremely low stray-light for more robust qualitative and quantitative applications.
The QualitySpec OSB system offers the NIR Cooled InGaAs TurboScanner technology from ASD.
The industrial rated Nema 4X housing includes several mounting configurations for maximum adaptability in extreme environmental conditions allowing for continuous monitoring of critical product parameters.
The QualitySpec OSB system also provides the capability to remotely monitor and trouble-shoot via the internet.
"By better control of product parameters, our customers are better positioned to reduce waste and down-grades, resulting in substantial cost savings," says Rob Schmidt, Dynea's senior vice president of market applications.
The QualitySpec OSB system will be on display for the first time at the International Wood Fair (IWF) 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia August 23-26.
