FOR GRADE-BASED WOOD OPTIMIZATION
IN LINEAL AND TRANSVERSE APPLICATIONS
3D Wood Scanners
The Best in Log and Board Value Recovery
When processing wood products for maximum value recovery, every cut counts. Ruggedly built chroma+scan 3D scanners provide your saw or planer mill with accurate, reliable data at production speed to optimize log and board breakdown decisions.
Profile lumber for size and shape, build high-resolution color images to enable defect inspection, and conduct full tracheid measurement for improved knot detection. No other wood scanning solution offers all three of these abilities in one device.
Bolt-On and Go.
Equipment that operates in mills must be durable and tough. chroma+scan 3D sensors are designed to bolt onto your scan frames and get down to work, even in the dust and dirt that comes with the territory.
All chroma+scan sensors include:
- Gasketed, dust proof IP67 industrial grade housings
- Factory calibrated optics, for reliable and accurate 3D measurement
- Impressive ambient light and dark surface handling
- Gigabit Ethernet for real-time data delivery
- Ability to synchronize multiple sensors to cover large scanning zones
- Five year warranty
HIGH-SPEED, HIGH-DENSITY PROFILING
Optimizes Log and Board Value Recovery
chroma+scan offers faster scan rates, superior dynamic range, rapid color profiling, full tracheid measurement for knot detection, and improved reliability and repeatability for maximum value recovery.
chroma+scan 2400 Series for Log and Lineal Edger Optimization Applications
Fast, High-Density Scanning with Superior Dynamic Range
The chroma+scan 2400 series is ideal for delivering 3D shape of logs at fast scan rates with a wide dynamic range capable of handling black material (e.g. wet logs) in the challenging lighting conditions typical of sawmills.
chroma+scan 3155 for Coplanar Scanning In Transverse Applications
Rapid, Multi-Point 3D Profiling
When chroma+scan 3000 sensors are mounted in the same opposing plane, they provide true differential lumber thickness profiling without being affected by chain vibration or board bounce. Plus, LMI’s scalable scanning platform integrates multiple sensors into one 3D scanning system, which can deliver real-time data via Gigabit Ethernet.
chroma+scan 3250 for Coplanar Scanning with Tracheid Detection
Identify Grain Angle, Sound vs. Unsound Fiber, and Blonde Knots
Get all the same functionality of the chroma+scan 3155 for profile scanning in transverse applications, with the additional capability to detect tracheid effect. The chroma+scan 3250 scans tracheid cells in the wood fibre at 500 Hz, measuring for magnitude and direction (a dot vector). The data collected is used to rapidly identify areas of good versus defective wood.
chroma+scan 3350 for Coplanar Scanning with Color Vision
Multi-Point 3D Profiling with 2D Color Imaging
The chroma+scan 3350 sensor combines high-density 3D profiles with sub-millimeter 2D color imaging at high scan rates for impressive lumber surface characteristic recognition. The result? The highest value recovery from every cut. Designed for true coplanar scanning in transverse applications, the 3350 delivers excellent data accuracy.
