Ulti-Vision Lateral Scanners


The Ultimizer Lateral Scanners consist of three major components:

⦁ Multiple color cameras mounted over the lumber to be scanned (typically six cameras for 16ft long boards).
⦁ A high-capacity computer to process the scanned images.
⦁ Software to optimize the best rip yields based on customer input and needs.

An Integrated Work Cell

Ultivision software produces rip solutions considering the cutoff solutions at the same time. A color image showing actual defects and real-time solutions allows operators to see what sizes are being cut and that yields are as high as possible. Operator defect modifications can be made in some cases.
