Ensuring quality
for customers
Goldeneye 900 transverse
quality scanner optimizes
value and ensures constant
lumber quality
Russian sawmiller, Ugra Timber, upgrades to
a Goldeneye transversal scanner for softwood
lumber, expecially Russian larch. After years of
successfully working with a Wanescan edger
optimizer from Microtec, the company decided it
was time to add quality scanning to their trimming
and sorting line to ensure constant quality
delivery to their customers
F
ull quality grading is key
for constant lumber quality
delivery to customers.
Transverse Quality Grader
Goldeneye 900 delivers exactly
that. It optimizes lumber for a
precise trim cut and flawless
sorting to ensure continuous
high quality output. The scanner
provides accurate defect
reconstruction as well as precision
and reliability in determining a
lumber’s surface quality.
The scanner detects and
localizes all types of knots as well
as cracks, blue and brown stain,
pitch pockets, wormholes, wanes,
curvature and other dimensional
defects.
“After successfully working
with European larch, spruce,
fir and pine, Australian radiata
as well as radiata pine, cedar,
douglas fir in America, we are glad
The sorting line at Ugra Timber consists of 40 boxes. All mechanical
equipment is supplied by Springer, electronics and PLC control by Microtec.
