MODULAR 3D SMART LASER SCANNERS
FOR BOARD OPTIMIZATION
MULTI-POINT PROFILE SCANNERS
A Flexible System for Transverse Board Scanning
With the Gocator 200 series you can create a modular scanning system that allows you to mix 3D profiles, tracheid detection, and color vision. Run these systems at up to 300 feet per minute in transverse board scanning applications (edging, trimming, planing).
Gocator 210
Entry-Level Multi-Point Profile Scanner
- Profiling speeds up to 1.5 kHz
- Generates profiles at 27.94 mm (1.1”) X resolution
- Large measurement range (355.6 mm or 14”) for scanning thick cants
- Ideal for trimmer and edger applications in the sawmill
- Large measurement range also suitable for cant scanning in transverse gang saw applications
Gocator 230
High-Performance Multi-Point Profile Scanner
- High-speed scanning now up to 4 kHz
- Generates profiles at 8.5 mm (0.334”) X resolution
- Delivers highest resolution for 3D shape
Gocator 250
High-Performance Multi-Point Profile Scanner with Tracheid
- High-speed profiling now up to 4 kHz
- Generates profiles at 8.5 mm (0.334”) X resolution
- Tracheid speed at 1.5 kHz for grain angle and knot detection
- Ideal for final grading applications
Gocator 205
Bolt-On Color Vision Module
- High-speed color profiling now up to 4 kHz
- Supports 2x external light bars for white LED illumination
- Delivers 0.5 mm x 0.25 mm (0.019” x 0.009”) XY color pixel resolution
- For use with Gocator 210, 230, and 250 multi-point scanners
- Ideal for green wood and final grading applications
Get the Modular Edge.
Coplanar Scanning
FOR THE MOST COMPACT AND COMPLETE DESIGN
Multi-point scanner heads detect the rising and falling edge of the board, whereas line profilers may not. Multi-point scanners use less space on the scanner frame (~4-6″) whereas line profilers require more of the conveyor deck (typically 2-3′).
High-Speed Profiling
ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY
The Gocator 200 series offers onboard processing and multi-sensor networking capability to build high definition 3D data models for material optimization. From early grading of cants in the sawmill to high-speed transverse board scanning applications in the planer mill, there is a suitable model and modular combination to meet your exact needs.
Tracheid Measurement
FOR GRAIN ANGLE AND KNOT DETECTION
Gocator 250 scanners are able to detect and measure tracheid effect. When a laser spot is projected onto healthy tracheid wood cells, laser light is scattered into the cells in the direction of cell growth. If the wood fibre is dead (as in a knot), then the laser light does not scatter. This effect can be measured to identify good wood from defective wood and even determine grain angle.
Color Vision
FOR SURFACE DEFECT DETECTION
Color vision supports the detection and measurement of surface defects. For wood material, surface defects include knots, splits, and rot, and their size and location is key to grade-based recovery optimization. Stable illumination is provided by white LED light bars, which are strobed to maximize efficiency and lifetime.
