Skip sensors for unplaned areas -
In some applications unplaned areas are considered as a defect. In this case our skip sensors deliver excellent results. Unplaned areas can be detected and removed or valued differently in the optimization.
 

Color cameras provide further possibilities -
Our new generation of color cameras improves the detection of the scanner. A higher resolution in both length and width measurement provides a higher detection of color defects than before!

X-Ray sensors for enhanced and internal detection
X-Ray detection is recommended for rough or dirty timber. The advantage here is that internal defects can be identified and localized due to the difference in density. Knots, for example, can be easily identified by their higher density, independent of the surface quality. Dirt, dust, grease, water marks, etc. no longer provide limitations in the detection of knots.
 

Line and Dot Lasers -
Dot lasers combined with our tried and tested line lasers provide an improved detection of growth ring and grain directions, etc.

The shape scan for detection of twist and bow -
The shape scan is the ideal option when a certain degree of twist or bow is to be detected as a defect. Using sensors placed in the cross transfer before the scanner different values in bowing or twisting can be measured. The data can be included in the optimization so that, for example, a maximum bow per product is allowed.

Moisture detection for optimization -
As above, external information about the moisture content of the timber can be incorporated into the optimization process.

Sensor technology for random width -
A requirement for the best results when scanning random width is the positioning of the cameras. The special LUXSCAN mechanization provides the optimal solution for the positioning of individual cameras. A further plus point is the ability to retrofit random width capability to any scanner at any time. This option makes the scanner a viable long term investment.

Stress Grading for optimization -
Sorting according to density is becoming more important. Information about the density can be imported from external sensors and used during the optimization.

Marking station for cut position and quality -
For any application where the scanner will not be connected to the saws or where quality information should be printed, a marking station is a useful addition. This can mark both cut positions as well as quality.
