Revolutionize Your Production with GreCon EDGEINSPECT: The Ultimate 3D Edge Inspection System

Introduction to GreCon EDGEINSPECT
In the intricate process of producing wood-based panels, even the smallest details can determine whether a product is fit for further processing or ends up as a reject. Among these details, edge quality stands out as a critical factor. Faulty edges not only mar the appearance of your products but also lead to potential issues like moisture penetration, which can weaken the stability of the component and result in costly replacements.

Enter GreCon EDGEINSPECT, the fully automatic edge inspection system that revolutionizes defect detection. Using laser-based 3D edge inspection, EDGEINSPECT identifies defective edges early, differentiating between real break-outs, quality deviations within tolerance, and deceptive elevations such as dust or glue residues. Trust in EDGEINSPECT to deliver meaningful insights, backed by over 40 years of industry expertise from the measurement technology specialist, Fagus-GreCon.

Laser-Based Precision for Reliable Detection

How It Works

The EDGEINSPECT system employs compact laser sensors to scan wood-based panels, ensuring accurate and reliable detection of edge defects. Whether used in edge banding for furniture or door manufacturing, EDGEINSPECT can be equipped with up to two combinable laser sensors to inspect both top and bottom edges of a panel. This setup allows for comprehensive detection of defects, including edge chipping, missing or too short edges, dents, and open glue joints.

• Single Laser Sensor: Scans from the underside of the panel over the round edge, identifying visible edges as defined by the customer.
• Dual Laser Sensors: Scans both the top and bottom edges, detecting potential defects on both sides of the component.

Superior 3D Measurement

Unlike comparable systems that rely on camera-based intensity images, which can struggle with color-textured surfaces, GreCon laser sensors measure the complete three-dimensional geometry of a component. This method provides precise environmental data, assessing potential errors based on exact measurements of elevations, depths, and widths.

Key benefits include:

• Three-Dimensional Geometry Parameters: Ensures comprehensive edge inspection.
• No Manual Teach-In: System adapts automatically, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
• Independent of Ambient Conditions: Reliable measurements regardless of lighting or decor properties.
• Avoidance of Pseudo Defects: Differentiates between actual defects and harmless elevations.

Intelligent Exposure Control for Enhanced Accuracy
GreCon EDGEINSPECT stands out even among other laser-based measuring systems due to its intelligent exposure control. This feature ensures reliable edge inspection without manual adjustments, accommodating surfaces with varying colors and brightness. Even complex patterns like black and white checkerboards are no challenge for EDGEINSPECT, making it a revolutionary tool for your production process.

Seamless Integration and User-Friendly Operation
The heart of GreCon EDGEINSPECT lies in its sophisticated software package. This software allows you to define defect sizes and tolerances for real-time edge inspection. Once set up, EDGEINSPECT autonomously detects surface changes and brightness differences without constant employee intervention. It also serves as a crucial communication interface with production machines, collecting and correctly assigning information to respective panel sides. This proactive approach prevents serial defects, enhancing both cost-efficiency and product quality.
