Pukepine Sawmills, New Zealand orders USNR’s BioVision technology Mail:05240273

USNR’s BioVision technology is advancing on the land down under with an order for a new grade scanning system to be installed at Pukepine Sawmills, Te Puke, New Zealand. The order includes a Multi-Track Positioning Fence, 6M (20’) USNR Grade Scanning Trimmer Optimizer system featuring BioLuma 2900LVG+ scanning, and V7.2 Transverse Cant Optimizer software  / hardware upgrade.

The BioLuma™ 2900LVG+ sensors together with proven optimization, defect recognition and classification, provide the basis for this world-class sawmill automated grading system. These BioLuma sensors are unique in the marketplace, offering fully integrated GrainMap™, HD color vision and HD laser profiling. Grain Map grain angle measurement affords more comprehensive defect analysis, allowing the optimizer to detect and classify more defects. The system’s 3D modeling provides far more detail than any other scanning platform currently available. The resulting optimized solutions make the most of the extensive data collected to maximize recovery and value from each piece.

Proven algorithms provide the most valuable cut solution utilizing, product setup information as input by the mill user, board measurements from the sensors and available operator inputs. The following represents some of the most significant features offered:

  • Fixed width / crook and bow control / fence and trim logic
  • Marginal length feature: lumberline saw lift / send extra wood to the planer
  • Variable length trim feature: trims variable lengths for Cuttings grade lumber products
  • Target length trimming: trims lumber within min/max lumber length specifications
  • Wane control: equivalency or compound with 3 wane allowances
  • Scant control / steep edge wane control
  • Wane orientation marking to planer
  • Up to 240 products (thickness x width combinations), and 28 separate nominal lengths
  • Up to 8 product groupings (by species or visual grade classification)
