EdgExpert - Comact
Geometric and vision scanning. Detection of visual defects such as tight knots, loose knots, spike knots, pitch pockets, pitch, blue/red stains, rot/unsound wood, bark pockets, splits, shakes, worm holes and slope of grain.
Linear High Grader - USNR
LHG for lineal planer mill applications. LHG combines x-ray density data with vision technology to enhance the accuracy of optimization. DataFusion™, merges, layers and combines various technologies.
