COVER: USNR - Catech 4000 TS Edger infeed system
Cover image shows a board being scanned
by a Catech 4000 TS Edger infeed system
with BioLuma sensors, and optimized by
USNR optimization. Catech edger systems
were developed by Söderhamn Eriksson.
Models ranging from Catech 40 to 4000
are differentiated by speed and capacity,
easily adapting to the market’s varying
requirements and sawing patterns.
Available in transverse (TS) and inline (IS)
scanning, these advanced edger systems
add flexibility to modern saw lines, as
well as the absolute highest yield from
sideboards. The Catech 4000 IS capacity
is up to 70 boards/min. Its transverse
counterpart, the Catech 4000 TS, offers a
capacity up to 75 boards/min.
