Exclusive Split & Shake Detection

Autolog recently introduced a new version of its transverse optimizer systems (trimmer, edger and gang).

Posted on December 03, 2014

After 20 years experience manufacturing transverse technology, the company launched a new up-to-date design based on the experience gathered over time and the latest technical hardware and software available today. The new optimizer features configuration parameters tailored for each mill: Windows 7, 64 bits platform, browser style navigation, support for languages and unit modes, improved editing, customizable profile, security settings per user and more. The flexible design allows for easy maintenance and upgrades resulting in a faster response time to customer requests.

The new Autolog optimizer is supplied with Hermary high speed/high resolution geometric sensors which scan the length of the boards every ¼" at 3000 scans/sec allowing the system to detect split & shake defects. This feature is offered as an option to the base system and has shown great payback especially for lumber hit by the pine beetle. The ability to trim these affected boards at the sawmill represent important savings on the overall operation.

This option provides these vision benefits without the cost!
