Log MerchandisingThe goal of log merchandising is to capture the highest value logs from the forest before they are shipped to downstream processing facilities for primary breakdown.360º Log ScanningA ring configuration of Gocator® sensors scans the entire circumference of the log and generates a complete 3D point cloud, revealing shape features such as taper, sweep, and crook.
3D Volume MeasurementScan data is used to calculate wood volume while excluding the presence of bark, determine how timber should be cross-cut into various lengths for sorting into sawlogs, veneer bolts, and pulpwood.
Gocator® scans and helps identify defects such as bark, splits, outer knots, and debarker tear-out.Robust Defect Detection
Gocator® generates a height map and intensity image for total surface measurement in 3D and 2D.Complete Log Imaging

Log OptimizationThere are two major machine centers for log processing based on headrig or end-dogging machinery with chipper heads and multiple bandsaws.High Ambient Light Immunitychroma+scan scanners are able to generate high-precision 3D data, despite the intense ambient overhead and spot lighting used in sawmills.Determine Optimal Log BreakdownBanks of chroma+scan 2440 scanners project multiple laser lines along the log length to generate 3D shape data at up to 120 Hz. The resulting 3D model is analyzed to measure shape features and compute an optimal saw solution.
Excellent Dark Log PerformanceHigh-sensitivity with multi-exposure control delivers high-resolution scanning of low-contrast targets such as dark logs.
-
Cant OptimizationA combination of cant edger and gangsaw systems cut cants into boards in ordernto achieve high-volume, high-value production.High Scan Speed with Full Multiplexingchroma+scan 2430s scan at 90 Hz and are fully multiplexed to prevent scanner crosstalk, with the ability to handle up to 3 banks of scanners simultaneously.
Small Clearance DistanceShort standoffs allow scanner placement within existing mill machinery.
Efficient Sensor Bank DesignMulti-line laser package minimizes number of scanners to cover full board length. Tightly spaced laser lines allow for full 3D scans in just 6” of travel.
Machine MonitoringGocator® is an all-in-one solution that combines scan, measurement, and control decision-making logic in a single device for error-proofing in various machine centers.
-
Board OptimizationBoards that are output from the cant edger or gangsaw are then scanned transversely in edging and trimming applications.Edging ApplicationsBanks of Gocator® 200 scanners generate 3D profiles of each board, which are then positioned to the saw in an infeed. Based on the profile data, saws are set to extract optimal board widths.
Gocator® 200 scanners provide 3D data for optimal length cutting decisions. The scanners can also instruct machinery to drop out an undersized board for ripping down by a reman machine and for later re-entry into the trimmer.Trimming ApplicationsGocator® 200 scanners provide true differential lumber thickness profiling without being affected by chain vibration or board bounce.True Coplanar Scanning
