Scanners for Board Sorting and Cutting

iCon scanners are high-performance machines designed for 4 sided 3D and color board scanning. Optional x-ray technology enables internal inspection and strength grading. Applications for cutting and sorting of boards are supported as standard. Advanced AI technology combined with many proprietary machine vision algorithms detect defects on all board surfaces and internally. The high speed of lumber transport through the machine, coupled with accurate detection, ensures high yields. Cutting, sorting, and strength grading are optimized according to standards or customized rules. Scanners are suitable for a wide variety of lumber processing purposes and final products.

Advanced AI in the Mix

AI technology in combination with machine vision algorithms ensures accurate defect detection. Surface and internal defects are detected for optimization of cutting and sorting. 3D measurements, furthermore add to the performance.
AI powered defect detection
Speed more than 500 m/min
<0.1 mm scanning accuracy
Variety of possible board dimensions

Board Optimization

Board optimization software for cutting is included as standard. Based on standards or predefined rules, the scanner will automatically optimize cutting patterns for maximum yield outputs. Autonomous cross or rip cutting, based on detected defects and desired classifications, ensures optimal results. Communication and control of cutting machinery allow for high-speed operations.

iMatch Solution

SMARTI iMatch solution is used with iCon X-Ray and another SMARTI iLog X-Ray machine. When logs are scanned and cutting optimization is generated, boards can be matched to specific logs. For yield optimization and material tracking purposes origin of specific boards can be matched to individual logs. When boards are sorted, exact production yields are known.
