LOGICA LG38-FX Inline measurement of Timber

LG38FX is an accessible solution for the automatic in-line measurement of
wood moisture, able to create reports of the measured datas and to carry out
the automatic selection of the material, discarding the elements out of tolerance.
It is particularly suitable for applications where a very high measurement
speed is not required and the flow of wood can be stopped for a few seconds.
It consists of a panel meter, a temperature sensor (for automatic compensation
of the measured values) external electrodes to be applied on a piston (not included)
for the insertion of the electrodes and a PC software.
The system must be applied on a mechanical device (not included) capable
of stopping the flow of wood for the time necessary for the measurement,
of driving the electrodes and signaling to LG38FX the moment in which the
electrodes are in position.
After the received consent, LG38FX measures the moisture of the sample, then
transmits it to the PC as a ASCII, so it activates (or not) the “out of tolerance”
relay. The software on the PC displays the measured value and saves it into
a file that can be easily exported in a format compatible with the most popular
spreadsheets.
