HOLZMEISTER LG38 Semi Automatic Kiln Controller

HOLZMEISTER LG38 Semi Automatic Kiln Controller is a society that offers quality services and products for industrial process controls, and for test and measurement devices in industrial, consumer and automotive applications. service for every electronic requirement for the above sectors; for this pourpose its technical office is based on engineers qualified on several industrial and consumer electronic sectors.

After an initial period addicted at the only development of products on demand (for the exlusive use of the customer), the society has begun the develop of own products, concentrating its efforts on the electronics for timber treatment and developing some products that now sells directly with HOLZMEISTER trademark.

LG38 is an affordable solution for in line automatic measuring of wood moisture content. LG38FX can create reports and perform automatic material selection, discarding elements out of tolerance.

It is particularly suitable for applications where a high measurement speed is not required and the flow of the timber can be arrested for a few seconds. It consists of a in line meter ( panel version) , a temperature sensor ( for the automatic compensation of the measured values) , an electrodes holder to be applied on a piston ( not included) for the electrodes insertion and a PC software. The system must be applied on a mechanical device ( not included) able to stop the timber’ s flow for the time necessary to measure, to stick the electrodes and to provide a ” measure valid” ( electrodes positioned) signal to LG38FX.

When LG38FX receives the signal, it measures the moisture content into the sample, it activates ( or not) the ” out of tolerance” relay, and then it transfers the data as ASCII string to the PC. The PC software displays the measured value and records it into files compatible with the most common spread sheets.
