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

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.
