Thick-Scan / Thick-Scan "M" Print E-mail

Continuous Thickness Measurement Avoids Inaccuracies. Press time is determined by the thickest location on a panel. Inaccurate measurement of panel thickness can result in the need to add an additional top Layer in order to avoid a sand-through during the sanding phase. Surface material, being more expensive than core material, proves just how important it is to avoid inaccurate measurements.

 

The THICK-SCAN "M" is equipped with moveable measuring heads that can be positioned any where across the panel width. Avoiding inaccurate thickness measurements is made possible using the THICK-SCAN "M". Furthermore, the THICK-SCAN "M" minimizes press time and saves raw materials by requiring less sanding. This also extends the lifetime of sanding belts because there is a dramatic reduction of sanding required, less material to be removed.
