FlitchScanner-Q
Transverse grade scanning for the edger machine center.
The FlitchScanner-Q (FSQ) is the evolution of Raptor’s vision-based board scanning and optimization, moved upstream to tackle the requirements of the edger. Utilizing the added technologies of colour vision and tracheid analysis the FSQ produces the highest-grade untrimmed boards from the flitch. Proprietary AI software is used to recognize down gradable defects that are incorporated into the solution logic. The FSQ can accurately detect surface defects such as knots, rot, bark, pith, shake, stain, and pitch pockets. This product adds unrivalled control, decision diagnostics and product flexibility to your sawmill.
