The Optimizing Edger uses optical scanning technology to achieve high precision and low waste edging of boards. The entire edging process is automated. First, each board is scanned. The profile of each board is then analyzed by a computer, which decides on the best product to maximize recovery. Decisions are based on both volume recovery and product value. After scanning, the boards pass through an alignment station and then are sawn. The EA3000 is capable of handling up to 25 boards per minute and is the ideal machine to edge boards coming from the Resaw. Electric servo sizing system achieves any width of cut without complication. Parallel PLC / computer control systems allow the machine to be switched over to manual mode with a single button. Online support allows our technicians to dial into your machine to troubleshoot it remotely. Overall, the Optimizing Edger is a simple, robust and automated solution to your edging needs.
Outfeed automatically separates waste from finished material.
Optimization
PC vision based optimization system calculates the best cut size for each board.
Hook-stops
Hook-stops straighten boards and an operator flips boards in the wane up position.
Board Alignment
Clamps and alignment arms center the board and simultaneously top hold down rollers engage.
Blades
Two de-coupled blades can be offset; greatly adding to the value recoverable from the boards.
Scanning System
Using 6 cameras (1) and LED light bars (2), the EA3000 automatically identifies board dimension, shape, color, and grade; as well as unwanted visual defects.
Pneumatic Feed
A pneumatic feed chain engages, aligns and sends the board through the optimizing cutting head. Automatic waste separation with center
chain (2-saw configuration) or picker finger tailer (3 or 4-saw configuration).
Incoming Transfer Deck
Infeed from left, right, or both sides. Radius back infeed with hookstops for automated straightening and sequencing
of boards. Optional integrated flippers for wane-up
board positioning. Hook-stops straighten and queue
boards prior to the optimizer infeed.
Infeed Clamps & Alignment Arms
Clamps & alignment arms synchronize
with top hold-down rollers for accurate
infeed. High-speed alignment, snap-scan and
edging without manual inputs.
Optimized Sawing Solutions
2-4 Independently movable saws allow
for flexible optimized solutions. Precise board contour mapping allows
the computer optimizer to determine the
best solution for greater accuracy and
higher recovery.
Optimizing Vision Scanning System
Automatic multi-camera vision scanning
system to assess optimal value/volume
recovery based on computer input
parameters.
