Description
Bartly sawmill scanners are high-precision measurement systems developed specifically for the wood industry, where cutting optimisation, yield improvement and waste reduction are crucial for efficient production.
Purpose of sawmill scanners in industrial workflows
Using millimetric scanning technology, the scanners measure the geometry of logs and boards with exceptional accuracy. This information supports smart, automated decision-making in production lines, ensuring optimal cutting patterns, improved classification and more efficient material utilisation.
High-precision scanning with 2.5 mm accuracy
The Bartly Model B scanners operate with a precision of approximately 2.5 mm. Their performance is comparable to some of the most advanced systems on the market, while offering a more accessible, cost-effective solution fully compatible with existing equipment and automation infrastructures.
Optimisation of sorting and grading lines
When installed in sorting or grading lines, the scanners analyse each log or board rapidly and in detail. The processed data assists downstream equipment by improving cut decisions, reducing material losses and increasing global productivity. The implementation of a scanner results in more consistent output and enhanced control over the entire production process.
Full compatibility with automation systems
Bartly scanners are engineered for seamless integration with a wide range of industrial control systems, PLCs and automated modules. They can be installed in new or existing production lines, ensuring fast communication and interoperability even in demanding industrial environments.
Productivity gains and cost reduction
Accurate scanning translates directly into better raw material utilisation, fewer cutting errors and increased yield. As a result, sawmills benefit from higher productivity, lower operating costs and a faster return on investment.
Intuitive configuration and easy operation
Despite their advanced technology, Model B scanners feature a simple and user-friendly configuration interface. Operators can adjust scanning parameters, view processed data and manage classification settings without requiring specialist training.
