Analytical Spectral Devices, Inc. (ASD), a leading manufacturer of rapid, precision, analytical and quality control instruments and Dynea Oy, one of the world’s leading providers of industrial adhesive systems announce the release of the QualitySpec® OSB Vis/NIR spectroscopy system. The release follows the May 23rd announcement of a world-wide co-marketing agreement between the two companies and their intent to bring process improvement and savings to the producers of wood-based composite materials.
The QualitySpec® OSB system provides continuous on-line analysis of key product parameters. It is designed specifically for compatibility and full integration into existing communications with most plant IT systems enabling uninterrupted real-time analysis. “This technology is the latest in world-class measurement tools for integrated on-line process monitoring and quality control” says Michael Lands, Director of Business Development for ASD. “We are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Dynea and manufacturers in the wood products industry.”
The QualitySpec® OSB is a rapid, non-destructive, and post-dispersive style system with extremely low stray-light for more robust qualitative and quantitative applications. The QualitySpec® OSB system offers the NIR Cooled InGaAs TurboScanner™ technology from ASD. The industrial rated NEMA 4X housing includes several mounting configurations for maximum adaptability in extreme environmental conditions allowing for continuous monitoring of critical product parameters. The QualitySpec® OSB system also provides the capability to remotely monitor and trouble-shoot via the internet. “By better control of product parameters, our customers are better positioned to reduce waste and down-grades, resulting in substantial cost savings,” says Dr. Rob Schmidt, Dynea’s Senior Vice President of Market Applications.
