The purpose of the Optimum Lumber Trimmer Scanner is to provide individual board scanning for optimized trim recovery.

The Optimum Lumber Trimmer System uses a ScanMeg differential transversal scanner with MS type scanner devices plugged into 2-foot backplanes.

The scanner system measures the thickness, width and length of each board passing transversally through the scanner heads, calculates the volume and wane and concludes the best trimming solution. The trimming solution is sent to a PLC for board tracking, trimmer positioning and saw control.

The scanner system also includes a dedicated computer for data collection and report generation.

Different length /resolution scanner systems will be produced on customer demand.
