Optimizing Board Edgers For Sale

An optimizing board edger is a type of woodworking machine that uses optical scanning technology to achieve high precision and low waste edging of boards. The entire edging process is automated, from incoming boards to scanning to sawing. First, each board is scanned by a computer vision system. The computer analyzes the profile of each board and determines the best way to edge it to maximize yield. Decisions are based on both volume recovery and product value. After scanning, the boards pass through an alignment station and then are sawn. The sawing head is controlled by the computer, which ensures that each cut is made with precision. Optimizing board edgers are typically used by larger sawmills and woodworking shops. They are a more expensive option than traditional board edgers, but they can save money in the long run by reducing waste and increasing yield.
