The FMI-5 system categories wood into different moisture levels, gives information to reject wood outside the set moisture levels, mark boards, measures real-time to get the boards moisture profile for optimizing and scanner lines to cut out or mark wet spots. This makes the FMI-5 a very versatile system suitable in all known applications.
The new FMI-5 sensors measure 500 times per second to detect the smallest wet spots in the fastest production and sorting applications. Each sensor stores calibration data making the system a perfect fit in quality control systems or according to international Standards.
The new transversal sensors are more compact compared to the previous models. In case of a replacement of an older Brookhuis transversal sensor, a mounting kit is available so integration can be realized within minutes. Maximum 10 transversal sensors can be connected to a FMI-5 operating unit to get a maximum of 20 measuring fields of 250mm resulting in 5,000mm effective moisture content board information.
250 boards/minute in transversal mode or 1,200 meter/minute in longitudinal mode makes the system fast enough for all existing machine lines, and with the FMI Reporting software all measuring results can be stored on a computer, reports can be printed or data can be transferred into a customer’s database.
