MATCONTROL HF is able to detect the exact size and position of foreign objects down to the millimetre range.

Both metallic and non-metallic substances that are outside the density tolerance of the material strand are detected. Classic examples of this can be found in the insulation industry, where hot spots cause enormous production damage due to their delayed heat release. Missing material, on the other hand, not only reduces quality, but is also responsible for expensive returns and a loss of reputation that can hardly be measured in terms of price.

Another example can be found in the wood-based materials industry, where foreign object detection helps to protect expensive steel strips by setting the correct threshold values.

Your advantages:

• MATCONTROL HF identifies a wide range of foreign objects and anomalies, including glue lumps, hot spots, wet spots and metallic and non-metallic elements such as nails, staples or stones.

• Detects areas that are too light or missing material, indicating voids or material omissions.

• Utilises eight individually adjustable threshold values for detection, allowing flexible adaptation to different production requirements.

• Direct integration of protective measures into the system control by assigning threshold violations to specific digital outputs.

• Possibility of colour-coding detected fault locations, which facilitates troubleshooting.

• Saves threshold violations in a database and enables detailed tracking and analysis of production faults.
