WEINIG CombiScan Sense series: Maximum performance and flexibility

The CombiScan Sense LuxscanLine series is the flagship of the WEINIG scanner portfolio. High-end sensors in a range of combinations create a perfect basis and fulfill every requirement of modern production processes. The CombiScan Sense opens up completely new optimization potential for your production. At the same time, the technology ensures optimal production control and transparency in the production process.

Optimal detection of the wood features is a decisive factor for expedient optimization of the raw material. All wood features differ in their individual characteristics and their detectability for the various scanners. The modular sensor concept of the scanner is inspired by this situation. This allows WEINIG to offer each customer a customized solution.

Simple optimization is the key to efficient production. The CombiScan Sense can be linked with various WEINIG machines, such as cross-cut saws, rip saws and sorting systems. The high-performance optimization software allows a variety of qualities and zones to be created and combined into multiple end products. The products and qualities are stored in a database and can be selected at any time via drag and drop. The logical user interface of the scanner simplifies settings in a visual way providing simple operation for all.


The modular design of the CombiScan Sense allows various sensor technologies to be combined together as modules in accordance with customer requirements. This provides a custom made machine with a perfect sensor combination with a very good price-performance ratio. The standard laser camera enables detection of defects on up to 4 sides. Color features are recorded and reliably recognized with an additional high-resolution, color camera. Not only is it possible to detect blue stain, for example, it is also possible to sort by color features. Lamellae for edge glued panels, for example, can be classified and sorted in color grades before pressing.

An X-ray sensor is also used for defects with varying densities. This enables the machine to look at different surfaces and classify defects according to density. Sensors for shape measurement, moisture, unplaned areas etc. complete the picture.

The scanner also features automatic moving cameras based on a unique mechanical design. This allows for simple, automated changes to the cross section and can also be designed to process random width products at the same time. Thanks to the available sensor technology and modular design, the CombiScan Sense always remains future-proof and adaptable to new challenges in production.

The use of the CombiScan Sense enables you to reduce labor costs while maintaining quality and increasing productivity and flexibility since the sorting criteria can be quickly and easily changed.
