Board Property Tester and Density Profile Analyzer - IBX700

The IBX700 laboratory testing machine has been designed to test the quality and mechanical characteristics of woodbased panels (particleboard, MDF, OSB) in compliance with today’s standards (European, North american, and others upon request) and to then process the results obtained. The instrument combines the laboratory tests for the mechanical properties with an analysis of the density profile without any contact between measuring instrument and product: the X-ray assembly basically consists of an X-ray generator and a sensor to pick up the rays, between which the sample is placed for the density profile analysis. Additional accessories may be supplied upon customer request.
