Moisture measurement of waste paper bales

The RP6 family humidity meters for recycled paper bales allow humidity to be measured quickly, reliably but above all manageable even by non-expert personnel. The system is based on the physical principle of capacitive coupling and allows for quick and accurate measurement of humidity inside the recycled paper bale by simply placing the instrument on the external surface of the bale. The instrument is equipped with a large and easily readable display even in poor lighting conditions (covered warehouses or holds) or in conditions of strong environmental or outdoor lighting. The instruments of the RP6 family are equipped with …

Monitoring the position of ships, trains and trucks in maneuvering areas

The measurement of the position of ships, trains, trucks and subways with LASER distance meters is now a widespread and consolidated application. In the context of Industry 4.0 and remote control, the use of LASER distance meters is becoming increasingly common for position control and non-contact measurement of the position of large objects. Among their many applications, we find the measurement of position, speed and distance of vehicles for the transport of people and goods. Thanks to their precision and speed, these tools represent a valid support for the logistic control and for the safety control of the …

silos tank level control of dust, grains and pellets

Level measurements with LASER distance meters

Industries such as plastic molding, food processing and building materials all rely on bulk materials stored in silos, tanks or tanks. The LDM42 Series Laser Level Measurers provide efficient level measurement in tanks, silos or large containers. The INNOVACHECK system offers automatic level display on remote monitors to facilitate monitoring, measurement and traceability of material levels…

Large size measurement with LASER distance meters

LASER distance meter technology has been revolutionary for the measuring instruments sector. Thanks to the high-precision laser sensors, these instruments allow you to perform non-contact measurements on large dimensions. LASER sensors can accurately detect the distance between two points, allowing technicians to perform a wide variety of measurements, from simply checking the length, width, position and deformation of an object to creating detailed maps. In particular, LASER distance meters are widely used in the construction industry, on building sites and in the heavy carpentry sector, where it is necessary to perform …

Ultrasonic thickness gauge for thickness and corrosion limit measurements

Ultrasonic thickness gauges for corrosion monitoring

Ultrasonic thickness gauges are a valuable tool for corrosion monitoring and quality control. These are devices that use ultrasound to measure the thickness of materials such as metals, alloys, plastics, and ceramic compounds. They are used in a variety of industrial fields ranging from corrosion analysis, thickness measurement, preventive maintenance, to pipeline analysis and tank thickness control. Ultrasonic thickness gauges allow you to determine structural integrity or structural integrity during structural and protective inspections. They also provide detailed information on the internal condition of the examined material and can identify any problems…

Deepening

The agricultural sector needs quality controls and accurate dimensional measurements to ensure maximum productivity and safety during the production process. For this reason, advanced devices have been developed to measure and control the dimensions of agricultural products, such as LASER distance meters, LASER sensors, archimeters for measuring radii and bending machines.

LASER distance meters are non-contact measuring instruments that allow you to measure length, height, width and distance with extreme precision. Thanks to their versatility, these instruments are used in various industries, including agriculture, to monitor plant growth and the distance between objects.

LASER sensors, on the other hand, are devices that detect the position and distance of objects by emitting a LASER beam. These sensors are particularly useful in automation processes, as they allow you to control the precision of movement of agricultural machinery such as stalk choppers, shredders and seed drills.

Archimeters for measuring radii and bending machines, on the other hand, are measuring instruments that allow the curvature of metal pipes and their radii to be determined, particularly useful in the processing of agricultural machinery. These instruments are available in different types and allow you to make precise and very accurate measurements.

Vision systems are devices made up of cameras and processing software that allow you to acquire images and information about objects and environments. These systems are widely used in agriculture, for example for quality control of products such as fruit and vegetables.

LED illuminators are a type of low energy consumption lamps that allow you to uniformly illuminate agricultural machinery without producing heat. These luminaires are ideal for increasing worker safety, as they allow work areas to be optimally illuminated without creating unwanted shadows.

Finally, artificial intelligence is a highly innovative area of development that allows for the collection, processing and analysis of large quantities of data automatically and intuitively. AI systems are used in agriculture to monitor crop quality, temperature, humidity and many other variables.

Industrial stroboscopes and torque meters, on the other hand, are tools used in agriculture to check the tightening torque of caps on machinery, energy consumption, engine power and many other variables.

In summary, the tools for dimensional control and measurements in agriculture are multiple and highly innovative. The possibility of using these control and measurement technologies will allow an increase in productivity, a reduction in costs, and better safety for operators in the sector.
