Abstract: An apparatus for forming compacted powder products. The apparatus includes a powder supply system and a compacting station. An emitter emits an input X-ray beam having a predetermined emission intensity. An output detector detects an output parameter representing an output intensity of the X-ray beam which passes through the powders. A reference detector detects a reference parameter representing the effective intensity of the X-ray beam generated. A control unit is programmed to compensate the output parameter by means of the reference parameter and to generate a control signal representing the density detected and to control the powder supply system by means of the control signal.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus (1) for carrying out a non-destructive inspection on a wooden board (9) or a similar object. The apparatus (1) comprises a movement system (3) comprising at least two chains or belts (32) that are at a distance from one another and substantially parallel to each other. The chains or belts (32) are slidable parallel to a movement path (30) and are and intended to support the wooden board (9). The apparatus (1) also comprises a non-destructive inspection station (2) that is positioned on the movement path (30), for carrying out a non-destructive inspection on the wooden board (9) that is supported by the chains or belts (32). The non-destructive inspection station (2) comprises at least one operating component (22) that is positioned on the same side as the chains or belts (32) and emits or receives a signal or an image, with an emission or reception field (220) that faces towards a region between two chains or belts (32).
