New Projects
AKD Softwoods – BioLuma Edger, Trimmer Opt. upgrades
AKD Softwoods at Colac, Australia is investing to update its Edger and Trimmer optimization lines with advanced scanning technology from USNR. insulated blend box, and put back into the kiln at 500° F. This afterburner provides complete combustion, keeping lumber in the kiln remarkably clean and free from ash. throughput for its operation, and bring the trimmer optimization system to today’s processing standards.
BioVision Edger
The Edger optimization system will implement USNR’s BioVision technology. The BioVision system will employ the latest MillExpert™ software platform release and a new scan frame outfitted with BioLuma 2900LV sensors. The HD laser profiling and HD visual data will be collected and fed to the system’s MillExpert software to maximize both total recovery and value recovery of structural and appearance grade products, by positioning the saws based on knot sizing permitted for structural lumber.
Lakeland Mills – MyMill mobile sor ter control
USNR’s MyMill™ mobile sorter control and WinTally™ sorter management technologies will be implemented at the Lakeland Mills operation at Prince George, BC. These advanced systems will improve the flow and management of dimensional lumber products at the mill’s sawmill sorter line.
Pukepine Sawmills – Grade Scanning Trimmer Optimization System
USNR’s BioVision technology is advancing on the land down under with an order for a new grade scanning system to be installed at Pukepine Sawmills, Te Puke, New Zealand. The order includes a MultiTrack Positioning Fence, 6M (20’) USNR Grade Scanning Trimmer Optimizer system featuring BioLuma 2900LVG+ scanning, and V7.2 Transverse Cant Optimizer software / hardware upgrade. The BioLuma™ 2900LVG+ sensors together with proven optimization, defect recognition and classification, provide the basis for this world-class sawmill automated grading system. These BioLuma sensors are unique in the marketplace, offering fully integrated GrainMap™, HD color vision and HD laser profiling. Grain Map grain angle measurement affords more comprehensive defect analysis, allowing the optimizer to detect and classify more defects. Proven algorithms provide the most valuable cut solution utilizing, product setup information as input by the mill user, board measurements from the sensors and available operator inputs.
MyMill Mobile Machine Control
MyMill is a software suite developed by USNR that enables mill personnel to interact with mill processing equipment using mobile devices such as iPads and iPods. MyMill replicates, in a mobile device, all of the functionality that is typically available through a stationary HMI touchscreen. MyMill can be configured for any wood processing system where a stationary HMI would typically be desired.
Option for BioVision Trimmer
The Trimmer optimization system will also take advantage of the latest MillExpert platform, and will be paired with BioLuma 2900L HD laser profiling sensors. Once the systems are running the mill plans to conduct testing to evaluate the payback to add BioVision capability to the Trimmer line.
Lecours Lumber – V7.2 Trimmer upgrade
The mill, located at Calstock, Ontario, is upgrading its 20-year-old trimmer optimization system to the latest Newnes Sawmill Suite (NSS) version release. The NSS V7.2 upgrade will allow Lecours Lumber to improve recovery and
