Optiside features
Optiside Front Side Scanner detects the cup on the end of the lumber piece to correctly orientate the boards. The scanner also measures the distance between annual rings and reliably identifies their orientation as well as the pith-side location.
Optiside high-precision Cup Scanner for lumber is a powerful yet simple combination of LED illumination and Microtec proprietary Multi-Sensor cameras. The goal is to automatically detect the orientation of annual rings and the location of the pith side. The system sends the evaluated information to a lumber turner. The correct positioning of the annual rings, required for gluing, is fully automated.
Optiside Cup Scanner also measures width and thickness, sorting out the lumber that does not satisfy the customer-specific dimensional requirements.
«With Optiside Front Side Scanner, the pith position displacement to the board center is precisely recognized. Planer and joinery mills ensure correct positioning and orientation of their boards according to the orientation and distance of the annual rings.»
