Patent number: 7154604Abstract: A device is disclosed which detects and evaluates electromagnetic radiation from an area or region. The device includes two measuring chains, and a control and evaluation unit. Each measuring chain has a head forming a boundary surface for the area and is provided with a transmitter and a receiver. In order to test the device, a test signal is emitted via the transmitter of one measuring chain and is reflected on the boundary surface. The reflected portion is received by the receiver of the same measuring chain and is transmitted to the control and evaluation unit. The portion transmitted is received via the boundary surface of the receiver of the opposite measuring chain and is transmitted to the control and evaluation unit. The comparison of the two signals provides statements relating to the contamination of the boundary surfaces, the state of the area and the functioning of the measuring chains.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2002Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: Fagus-Grecon Greten GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6993850Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring device, which allows the thickness of an elongated, panel-type workpiece, lying on a reference plane and traveling along the reference plane, to be continuously recorded. The measuring device is provided with a guide shoe, which is bath-shaped and open at the top and is pivotally mounted in a machine frame on parallelogram-shaped steering elements. A measuring roller, which projects slightly out of a cavity in a base section that runs parallel to the reference plane, is located inside the guide shoe. The measuring roller is supported in the interior of the guide shoe by rollers on both sides of the recess. The measuring roller is in contact with the reference plane and after a deflection of the guide shoe, comes into contact with the measuring surface of the workpiece, a measured value that represents the thickness being derived from the deflection.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2001Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Noltronic Grecon Greten GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5564573Abstract: The timber (2) passes in a direction of movement (3) between successive clamping roller pairs (27, 26), between which a test roller (48) imposes a flexible bending f.sub.D on the timber (2). The imposed flexible bending f.sub.D is maintained at least approximately constant by controlling a setting drive (70) by means of a computer (83). Any possible natural curvature of the timber (2) is measured by measuring elements (80, 81) and is taken into account. The thickness (d) of the timber is also measured without contact by measuring elements (81, 82). The restoring force is measured by a force measuring device (68) and the position of the test roller (48) transversely to the direction of movement (3) is measured by a distance transducer (77).Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1994Date of Patent: October 15, 1996Assignee: Fagus-GreCon Greten GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5548626Abstract: A measuring device (8) comprises an emitter (9) and a linear array (10) of detector elements (11 to 14). The emitter (9) emits a radiation beam (15) which enters into a narrow face (20) of a panel-like workpiece (7) at an angle (19). The individual rays (1 to 4) of the radiation beam (15) have different length paths (21 to 24) through the workpiece (7) and thus have differently attenuated output intensities. By difference calculations on the output intensities of the rays (1 to 4) thus obtained, one can calculate density values in the narrow face (20) and finally establish a density profile through the thickness (6) of the workpiece (7).Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1994Date of Patent: August 20, 1996Assignee: Fagus-Grecon Greten GmbH & Co.
