The Logeye technology gives all the information needed for an objective, reliable and fair assessment of the log price - independently if the logs are in bark, debarked, frozen or with snow on the surface.
The VMK institute released specific approvals for Logeye in Sweden for the following functions:
• length
• top diameter over bark
• top diameter under bark
• sweep (UBF)
• metal
• semi-automatic grading
To increase the benefit of a sawmill, the Logeye family follows a modular approach. Thanks to its modular structure, the new Logeye generation offers the required features for a value added production. The dimension and color modules are available for the Logeye 300 series providing the measurement of log volume based on length and diameter as well as sweep. An X-ray unit enables and simplifies semi-automatic grading, metal and quality detection. The color module of Logeye 300 series is suited for diameter measurement (under bark) even for frozen logs or with snow on the log.
Finally, the Logeye Multi-Sensor Scanner series leads to objective log grading and higher productivity. Logeye's next generation technology enables optimized log breakdown, bucking and sorting.
"This approval is a major step for the Swedish timber measurement, SDC and us, who worked on this for a long time. VMF may now grade logs using Microtec equipment and the approval is permanent" says Martin Bacher from Microtec.
Microtec is represented in Sweden by L.O.A.B.
Every measurement module includes 3D cameras and lasers.
The X-ray module detects metal and inner log quality for semi-automatic grading and optimized bin sorting.
Cameras and laser sensors scan each board up to 2000 times per second.
This Logeye series represents the new generation of fully equipped Multi-Sensor Quality Scanner enabling log sorting according to volume, quality and strength as well as extracting the highest value from each log. Logeye features Multi-Sensor camera and next generation X-ray technology for identifying internal wood defects before breakdown.
With the recent approval from VMK institute, Microtec sets new standards for automatic log grading in Sweden.
