For the most and the best out of your material
The WoodEye Cross Cut detects biological and geometrical deviations in boards that are defined by type, size, and position. Rot, blue stains, and pith are detected, as are dimensional defects such as knot holes and wane. The image sensors in the measuring frame also register fiber direction and roughness.

Cutting it close to perfection
The WoodEye Cross Cut uses advanced technology to get the maximum yield from your lumber. It takes over the optimization work from the crosscut saws to scan and optimize simultaneously.  Crosscuts are positioned with great precision to cut right at the edge of the defect and maximize the defect-free area.

Value-based production
When inspecting the material, the scanner references to all the products that must be produced and calculates the optimal way to cut the material. The system considers the value of each individual product, as well as your quantity and distribution goals. These complex rules optimize the use of each board and enhance your production at the same time.

Beginning at the end
The high resolution in the WoodEye Rip in combination with our unique 2D optimization software creates whole new possibilities for optimizing towards the final product. Instead of waiting with final decisions to the cross-cutting stage, the end-product can be planned already at the ripping. The system can allocate the components on the board based on the final use and shape of the products.

Produce exactly what you need
With 2D optimization, the scanner positions the products on the board while also matching against the required quantities to be produced. Decisions include product dimensions as well as the best side of the lumber to use for each product.

Looking at the big picture
The scanners precut feature takes your rip optimization one step further. The software evaluates if precuts will increase the total value of the board and acts accordingly.

Flexible approach allowing proprietary grades and custom qualities

Grader
Scans the material and sorts according to NHLA Rules Book and proprietary grades

Optimizer
Scans the material and sends instructions to saws on how to optimize cutting for higher classification and value
