FlitchScanner
Transverse and lineal scanning, optimization, and controls for the edger.
The FlitchScanner produces the highest value untrimmed boards from a flitch at the edging machine center. The system supports configurations for both transverse and linear infeed. High-density 3D modelling enables the optimization logic to identify the smallest of geometric defects, even rot. Multiple scan zones are supported on lineal infeeds to minimize the system's mechanical footprint.
Features
- Board set-up that matches Raptor’s trimmer optimization
- Run full trim logic in each saw gap
- Configurations available for transverse or lineal feed systems
- Supports multiple saw clusters, variable pocket sizes and top chip head
- Balances the use of saws and tailers for even wear
- Intuitive results screen with 3D graphics and critical solution information
- Quick access to solution diagnostics with graphical tools for analysis
- Browser-based user interface. Accessible by tablet or any connected device
- Simulation mode allows user to manually change configuration variables to simulate results and provide in-depth analysis
- Comprehensive reporting package
