ProfiCura Technology
The BoardProfiler 3D-T uses LIMAB’s ProfiCura-2D laser triangulation sensors which are a product of 30 years of experience in producing precision laser sensors. The sensors are very accurate and stable, yet suitable for use in a rugged sawmill environment.
Non-Contact Measurement
The laser measuring principle means that the boards are measured without contact. This means that it can operate on the fastest conveyors and still provide reliable results.
Automated Inspection
The BoardProfiler 3D-T will accurately determine the shape characteristics of each board and calculate a cutting proposal based on the customers’ quality grades. Automating the sawing or trimming operation, reducing manpower and increasing yield.
Automated Sorting
The width, thickness and length of each board are measured and compared with predetermined quality grades providing the signals to the drop sorter for automatic sorting of the timber into the correct bins.
Integration with Existing Sawmill Equipment
LIMAB’s long experience in supplying the sawmill industry means that the equipment can be easily be retrofitted to existing lines or fully integrated with new ones. Interfaces are available to many of today’s OEM sawmill equipment suppliers.
