Lumber Measurement Using a Laser Displacement Sensor
Laser Displacement Sensors for Hardwood Thickness
The forest, lumber and wood products industry is a regular user of Acuity laser sensor products for the measuring of logs, cants, lumber, veneer thickness, paperboard, etc.
The AR700 laser displacement sensors are commonly integrated into automated lumber finishing machines to measure board position, board dimensions and surface profiles. The long-distance AR100 laser triangulation sensor offers a valuable stand-off distance, keeping the measuring equipment away from the quickly moving lumber and potential hazards.
