AE 3D™ Edger Outfeed Verification Scanner

Ensure proper board separation and minimize misdirected wood waste with real-time verification scanning.

Introduction & Overview

What is the AE 3D™ Edger Outfeed Verification Scanner?

The AE 3D™ Edger Outfeed Verification Scanner is a high-precision scanning system designed to verify board separation and detect board movement as they exit the edger. By utilizing real-time 3D scanning, the system ensures that boards are properly aligned for accurate sorting and minimal material loss.

Who is it for?

This system is ideal for sawmills and lumber processing facilities looking to improve board handling, optimize sorting accuracy, and reduce unnecessary waste. It integrates seamlessly with existing edger and sorting systems to enhance overall mill efficiency.

Why it matters?

Traditional board handling methods often result in misdirected lumber, inaccurate sorting, and unnecessary fiber loss. The AE 3D™ Verification Scanner eliminates these inefficiencies by automating the verification process, reducing misfeeds, and ensuring proper board separation before sorting.

Key Features & Capabilities

The AE 3D™ Edger Outfeed Verification Scanner provides real-time precision scanning to ensure boards are correctly processed before they reach the sorting line.
