DPX400 – DPX400-LTE

The DPX400 is a laboratory machine, used to supply the density profile of particleboard, OSB or MDF samples, measured along the thickness. The samples may be of varying thickness and may be measured individually or in groups so as to highlight any particular differences in material distribution at various points on the same board (e. g. different distribution on the two sides of the same board). The machine has been manufactured using top quality products and the most advanced, sophisticated technology. Its ergonomic and functional design provide handy access to all instruments in a work friendly environment.

Main features

No contact with the sample
High sensitivity and good measuring accuracy
Greater intrinsic safety in relation to radioactive sources
Two sample holders are supplied so that the operator may prepare a second set of samples while the first lot is being tested, to speed up the various operations
Weighing scale with centesimal divisions
Auto-gauging station to read width, length, thickness at the same time
A smaller version is also available, the DPX400-LTE. The main difference to the standard version is that the dimensions in this case are measured by a digital calliper connected directly to the PC via USB and the sample holder is smaller, 200 mm, and not interchangeable. The two devices are identical in terms of X-ray analysis.

Advantages

A special programme designed to run with Windows, is used to set up the main parameters required to operate the equipment and to manage the measurement data collected. Thanks to this programme it is possible to view the density profile graph during the measurement procedure, to store it, print it, or to process some of the measurements. You can also select and display, for instance, some of the functions listed below:

Average density
Mirror image on the same density profile graph to highlight any differences which there could be between the two surfaces
Maximum and minimum points
Profile density as a percentage (0-100%) or in kg/m3
Comparison of several different density profiles on the same graph
Magnifying of any one area of the density profile
