Log Diameter Measuring Solution

This solution uses a Microscan 5 megapixel GigE camera, laser measuring sensors, and a Smart Vision XR256 IR light.  Using the distance and correlating the average radius, we are able to calculate the actual diameter of the log. They use a Tigercat to present the log to the system.

Timber Measuring Solution

Here is a unique solution using machine vision. We put a Microscan gigE camera and Smart Vision light on the front end of a Tigercat log handling machine.  This machine sorts logs and cuts them to length.  The Tiger cat also tracks board feet by measuring the diameter of the log.
