BAUMER INSPECTION<br />
COMMISSIONS<br />
FIRST RAW BOARD<br />
SCANNER IN<br />
SOUTH EAST ASIA<br />
Baumer Inspection has successfully commissioned the first<br />
raw board scanner ColourBrain ® RawBoard 4.0 in South<br />
East <strong>Asia</strong> at Green River <strong>Panels</strong> Trang, one of the largest<br />
panel producers in Thailand. Officially introduced at LIGNA in<br />
May 2019, the first system was installed at a world-leading<br />
panel producer in Germany in the same month. Currently,<br />
more scanners are being commissioned in other parts of <strong>Asia</strong>,<br />
especially in China.<br />
ColourBrain ® RawBoard 4.0 is an inspection system that detects<br />
typical process errors in the production of chipboards and<br />
medium- and high-density fibreboards. Using automatic optical<br />
inspection systems and evaluation statistics, errors such as<br />
grinding defects, surface damage, and spots caused by oil, water<br />
and dust contamination can be identified for rectification and<br />
process optimisation. ColourBrain ® RawBoard 4.0 automatically<br />
differentiates between sporadic and process-related defects,<br />
increasing first-choice output and reduces customer complaints.<br />
With live production monitoring, the integration of all systems<br />
into one control system and a common defect database,<br />
extensive customised reports can be generated to troubleshoot<br />
process deficiencies. This also helps in the conservation of<br />
materials and manpower.<br />
Available in three compact sizes, this system takes up minimal<br />
space in production lines and is easy to install, clean and<br />
maintain. It can be integrated with any existing transport<br />
system, and its predefined interface protocols allows flexible<br />
machine-to-machine communication. P
