LUMBER PROCESSING
SCANNING & OPTIMISATION – JÖRG ELEKTRONIK
JORO-X
JORO-X is supplied as
standard with one or two
X-ray planes. Optionally
an extension to 3D and 4D
results is possible.
X-ray scanner - Detection of
internal wood qualities
J
ORO-X is a further development
in the field of X-ray technology
for log yards and sawmills. The
overall system has its source in
the cooperation of the round-wood
specialists Jörg Elektronik and
FINNOS. Decades of experience in
measuring wood are the foundation
for this system, combining laser
scanner technology and X-ray
technology. JORO-X is delivered in
a 20-foot container, which can be
quickly installed, even in existing
plants.
X-ray beams go through the
wood and provide data of inner
qualities. Bundling the gained data
with customer specific guidelines,
optimization can be performed.
After that, results are presented in
the user interface on one screen.
The system allows an
optimization of wood yield at
high throughput. Maximum
accuracy and optimization in wood
processing become increasingly
decisive. Millimeter accuracy in
recognizing and calculation lead
to a maximum yield of wood.

JORO-3D
True shape scanner for logs
A surrounding high-speed 3D
camera system continuously scans
the laser light band around the
object of measurement. Unbroken
recording of the measurement
points allows an evaluation of
the measured object without
calculation or interpolation. The
wood is evaluated and shaped
according to the actual measured
values.
JORO-3D does not need any
interruption in the conveyor and
no mechanical reconstruction.
Integrated electronic allows a
maximum conveyor speed of up to
240 m/min without performance
loss.
Evaluation of data is done
in real time. The continuous
recording of the complete surface
allows an optimum measurement
of ovality, taper, curvature and
sweep, independent of the
position of the log and the
measuring position.
