LUMBER PROCESSING SCANNING & OPTIMISATION – JOESCAN Delivering a flexible wood-scanning solution See us at Ligna Hall 25, Stand B15 JoeScan’s scan heads have been made for sawmills since the company introduced its first scanner in 2002 JoeScan’s new JS-25 X6B scanner makes it easier to upgrade obsolete carriage scanning systems J oeScan’s latest scanner, the JS- 25 X6B, is a high-performance, six-laser scanner, specifically designed for high-density, snapshot-scanning of logs on carriage headrigs. The JS-25 X6B was designed to make it easy for optimizers and sawmills to upgrade obsolete carriage scanning systems, often reusing the existing scan frame. The JS-25 X6B scan head takes six profiles, each spaced 152mm apart, with each profile measuring up to 889mm wide. The JS-25 X6B provides a high-density scan in less than 152mm of travel. Each JS-25 X6B scan head can be mounted end-to-end to scan any length of log on 152mm spacing. The JS-25 X6B is based on JoeScan’s proven and reliable JS-25 scanner platform, developed to make scanning systems easier to install and maintain. It requires only 24VDC and an Ethernet connection for operation, and it can be installed in minutes. The JS-25 X6B scanner uses an Ethernet interface, allowing the optimizer to communicate directly with the scanner without special hardware. The unit has built-in profile processing, which eliminates the need for large numbers of PCs to process the image data, resulting in a simpler, more reliable system. The interface enables users to configure and The JS-25 X6B is easy to install and maintain 32 International Forest Industries | APRIL / MAY 2017 calibrate the scanner on their PCs and to view real-time profile data and camera images. Power input to the JS-25 X6B is via two iCONN Systems waterproof (8-pin) connectors. The connectors can also be used to track carriage motion via a quadrature encoder signal. All scanners use JoeScan’s reliable QuickPulse technology, which allows multiple sensors to scan without interference and helps to maximize the laser life. JoeScan’s scan heads have been made for sawmills since the company introduced its first scanner in 2002. Every JoeScan scanner is backed by the company’s 5-year warranty and 10-year product support policy to protect against obsolescence. JoeScan is committed to the sawmill industry. It stands behind its scanners to ensure they are a good long-term investment for sawmills.
