ReadyScan II

Incorporating the Dynavision laser scanner, the ShapeScan collects data over a 120° contour of the log every one-inch along the log’s length. Using this contour map of the log, each opening of the log is optimized based on your particular requirements. Proven results of up to 6% increase in recovery and up to two saw lines increase in production over photocell type scanning systems have been reported.

By adding a second set of Dynavision laser scanners mounted overhead, a scanned view of the back of the log is known. This additional scan view and Lewis software solution improves recovery, cant centering, and tapering.

Lewis Controls latest addition to the ReadyScan line of optimization uses off line scanning to generate a 360° model of the log. This data is then used in the optimization process to ensure the proper cant is fit into each log based on log orientation and log shape.

With over one hundred systems in operation, our photocell scanner has proven itself to be a solid performer for over 20 years. Fast, simple, and easy to maintain, the PECScan is used to set taper and open each face of the log quickly and efficiently. The PECScan can easily be upgraded to our ShapeScan over a weekend.
