BoardProfiler - Overview
Overview
The BoardProfiler is a complete system for in-process measurement of the width, thickness and wane and other board deformations in sawmills. The timber can either be in the green or dry condition and is classified on the transverse conveyor.

Operating principle
The boards are measured using a series of PreciCura SR high speed lasers typically mounted every 300 mm. This enables the entire profile of the board to be accurately determined. The lasers use the principle of optical laser triangulation and will measure to any type of wood green or dry.
Applications
- In process board width & thickness measurement at multiple positions
- Wane optimisation and automated cutting on trimmers
- Shape defect measurement and cutting optimisation
- Side bow measurement
- Flatness measurement
- Twist measurement
- Board cup determination (concave/convex curvature)
- Board length measurement (optional)
- Full dimensional measurement on sorting or grading lines
