THE TURNKEY SOLUTION FOR SAWMILL AUTOMATION

THE AUTOMATION OF WOOD INDUSTRIES Wood comprises a huge spectrum of processing methods which have been developed and advanced through the mil- lennia. Traditional melhods such as carving still exist. Saw- mills however have developed into high-tech centers. Sprecher Automation has played a decisive part in making this happen with cu sto mer-specific products and services for modern wood processing. With SPRETIMB, Sprecher Automation provides a complete solution as well as individual partial solutions for sawmills. The product covers all sections of sawmills from logs to ready-made boards,...

Latest technological developments are directly used for in- novations. In co-operative formulation of concepts, our cus- tomers derive much benefit from our extensive consultancy and professional competence as a turnkey solution provider. The application of standard components and modular hard- ware and software designs results in a high quality standard, which implies quick and easy installations and services. Our customers therefore profit from system availability and ease of operation at the highest possible level.

SPRESCAN scanner systems With SPRESCAN, Sprecher Automation provides a multitude of measuring systems for the detection of length, width, thickness, wane, moisture and structure of timber. Decades of experience show that applying these measuring devices leads to a major increase in value and yield. SPRESCAN 2D-L SPRESCAN SAW 3D-T SPRESCAN SAW 3D-T inspects the logs before sawing (transverse conveying), the system captures semi-circular log contours in the process. The number of installed distance sensors can be defined individually, the residual contour is calculated by interpolation. The...

SPRESCAN BOARD 2D-T is a laser-based board thickness and width measuring syslem for transverse and longitudinal conveying. It consists of a control unit and a pair of sensors. SPRESCAN BOARD 2D-L was especially developed for measuring billets. The standard model uses 6 triangulation lasers for width, thickness and, if required, twist and bend (convex/concave measurement) of billets. Billet lengths are measured with light barriers. SPRESCAN INSPECT SPRESCAN INSPECT is an automatic laser measuring sys- tem for detection of surface defects. It inspects glue-laminat- ed wood and is especially...

Log sorting SPRETIMB with all its components is applied to the entire sawmill. The different package configurations depend on the specific sawmill sections. This especially concerns the SPRESCAN series, which features a multitude of measuring systems. For this specific section, Sprecher Automation provides systems for optimisation of log sorting and log registration. Additionally, data acquisition can be recorded for legal matters. Features • LOG CONTROL: automated log manipulation and monitoring with data registration and connection to IT systems • Teleservice • Just-in-time production...

Sawing line and edging Decades of experience and best practice gained from largescale projects lead to fully developed control systems, which are especially adapted to the wood industries. This implies optimised sequences of machine motions in consideration of the continuity of the manufacturing process. Integrated data connection to the superior master control level as well as to feeding and transporting production plants can be applied to sawing lines and edgers like in all other sections. The homogeneous user interface allows access to central maintenance of the entire system. Features •...
