Enhance sawmill efficiency with real-time video imaging and dynamic sawline adjustments.
EdgerView™ is a cutting-edge virtual operator interface that combines live video imaging with adjustable sawlines, seamlessly integrating with your Setworks PLC. Designed for both green and dry mills, it empowers operators to make visual grade overrides and manually adjust sawlines for optimal recovery.
EdgerView™ is ideal for sawmills and lumber processing facilities aiming to enhance precision, efficiency, and product quality in their operations.
Traditional laser-based systems often require dimly lit environments and can obstruct the operator's view. EdgerView™ eliminates the need for lasers, providing a clearer view of the machine outfeed and enabling operators to easily detect defects and wane, leading to improved safety and productivity.
EdgerView™ offers a range of advanced features designed to enhance precision, efficiency, and ease of operation in sawmill processing.
Displays real-time video feed with superimposed, movable sawlines, allowing operators to visualize and adjust cuts dynamically.
Interfaces directly with Setworks PLCs, ensuring smooth communication and control.
Enables operators to make on-the-fly grade adjustments, enhancing product quality and yield.
Removes the necessity for lasers, improving visibility and eliminating the need for darkened work environments.
Can be integrated with optimized edgers, prepositioning systems, dual-sided infeeds, and gang edgers, offering flexibility across various setups.
Implementing EdgerView™ in your sawmill operations offers numerous advantages:
Accurate sawline adjustments and grade overrides lead to optimal recovery and reduced waste.
Improved visibility eliminates the need for darkened environments, reducing eye strain and potential hazards.
Eliminating laser equipment reduces maintenance costs and energy consumption.
Precise control over cuts ensures consistent, high-quality outputs.
Understanding how EdgerView™ integrates into your workflow helps maximize its potential for improving lumber processing efficiency.
EdgerView™ captures live video of the lumber as it approaches the saw.
Movable sawlines are superimposed onto the video feed, providing a visual guide for operators.
Operators can manually adjust sawlines and make grade overrides directly through the interface.
The system communicates adjustments to the Setworks PLC, executing precise cuts as per operator inputs.
Compatible with various mill configurations, including optimized edgers, gang edgers and non-optimized edgers, for seamless adoption.
EdgerView™ is engineered with robust hardware and software capabilities, ensuring seamless integration with existing mill systems.
Integrates with Setworks PLCs and supports prepositioning systems, dual-sided infeed systems or standard positioning on the infeed rollcase.
