EasyScan RT

The EasyScan RT constitutes the next generation in rip scanners. Its revolutionary concept features automatic moving cameras, which sets it apart from all competitor products. In contrast with conventional cross conveyor scanners, the number of sensors can be reduced drastically, cutting down costs to a minimum.

The new design helps to keep mechanical components simple and reasonably priced. The cross conveyor feeds the boards into the scanner, then holds them motionless for scanning. For this the cameras move along the boards’ longitudinal axes. Thanks to this innovative solution, the mechanization and space requirements are greatly reduced. This, in turn, reduces the costs of the cutting line enormously. The cost-saving potential is significant, compared to conventional scanners using longitudinal conveyors.

Existing cutting lines with or without geometric measurement can be re-fitted quickly and cost-effectively with the new Easy-Scan RT, because the existing cross conveyor transport can still be used to a large degree.

With its enhanced 2D optimization, the EasyScan RT represents an outstanding upgrade for your rip saw. The two-dimensional optimization of the boards allows recovery to be significantly improved. Cross-cutting optimization is already predicted during the ripping optimization. Cross-cut scanners and rip scanners therefore work together in this instance. Optimization according to both width and end-product significantly improves ripping decisions. Manual, laser-controlled width optimization simply cannot compete with the potential of this system.

Simple optimization is the key to efficient production. 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 sensor options have been adopted from the successful EasyScan R, meaning that the EasyScan RT also has a proven selection of sensors and options. Curvature measurement and the module for random widths are also factory-fitted with the EasyScan RT. Owing to the nature of ripping, image detection and optimization are only performed on the top and bottom sides.

Ripping optimization explained simply

Step 1: LuxscanLine scanners are based upon various sensors, such as laser cameras, color cameras and X-ray. Your WEINIG expert will define the right sensors and the best combination of these, matched to the wood species, surface quality and customer requirements. Our objective is to achieve the best possible quality of information for the required application.

Step 2: Image processing is handled by the highly sophisticated OptiCore software. This detects and identifies defects as well as color variations on the board. The ideally adapted sensor data ensures optimal data processing and defect detection.

Step 3: Optimization via the high-performance OptiCore software calculates the best solution during ripping. In doing so, it takes into account the various customer requests and requirements. Based upon the precise board data calculated during image processing, the board is optimized in accordance with the customer’s settings. This allows a virtually unlimited number of qualities and products to be defined. Thus, even a complex product mix can be quickly and simply optimized. This allows a virtually unlimited number of qualities and products to be defined.

The sensors: The key to success

OptiCore: The new benchmark in the world of automated optimization

Beside the sensors, such as laser and color cameras, X-ray, curvature measurement, etc. the software plays the largest role in cross-cutting optimization. Simple operation, convenience and confident decision-making are essential in this area.

The system should be easy to understand, intuitive to operate and reliable in terms of availability and performance. OptiCore software fulfills all of these criteria. With its visual and operational design, inspired by the OptiCom Direct software from DIMTER, operation of both machines is almost identical. OptiCore also offers the trusted optimization structure that allows you to structure your production as quickly and easily as it allows you to produce.

OptiCore is able to process an unlimited number of products and qualities. By specifying qualities in terms of zones, it both increases recovery and enables the customer to achieve greater product diversification. Highly precise specification of qualities allows more specific products to be produced. Combined with the high degree of accuracy in the measurement of wood features, this means your raw material is used significantly more efficiently. The various optimization modes – optimization by value, recovery or production objective – make the scanner technology even more interesting. These allow you, for example, to set production objectives, which are subsequently processed. Processing orders with parts lists is now no longer a problem. The commonly used software interface also creates synergies in the controls of the machines. For example, fill level information for the OptiCut stacker can also be taken into account in the optimization. This is just one additional example of current WEINIG leading-edge technology. That way, you are equipped to deal with the requirements and challenges of the future at all times.

OptiLink: Ideal optimization via connected processes.

Using multiple, complex production processes has always been a difficult task. Linking various applications and production lines further complicates the flow of information. OptiLink was developed to simplify production management by centralizing information. With a single access point to all information, just-in-time production is no longer a complex challenge. OptiLink decreases operator errors and reduces the inventory of semi-finished goods. A further benefit is the quick and simple data management with regard to ERP systems. This even allows production of single-item batches thanks to sophisticated statistical functions. Although OptiLink was originally developed purely for linking cross-cut scanners and rip scanners, it is now possible to connect many other cutting-related machines.

Fiber analysis: Maximum cutting accuracy

An essential component of maximizing recovery and increasing value is a precise cutting position, particularly with finger jointed products. The dot laser enables such high levels of precision and provides improved detection, especially on rough surfaces. The cutting position is more accurately defined using the angle and size of the dots. This guarantees stable finger jointing. The dot laser is available for hardwood and softwood.
