Logeye Stereo: Significant increase in efficiency

Mariana Luigi, a sawmill in northern Italy, embarked on a journey of efficiency with MiCROTEC's cutting-edge solutions. Their installation of the Logeye Stereo log scanner, coupled with Optiline software and Maxicut cutting optimization, introduced a new era of streamlined operations and increased productivity.

Just a few years ago, Mariana Luigi invested in one of MiCROTEC’s optimization solutions in the sawmill. After the clamping carriage on the log band saw had been updated, Mariana opted for the Logeye Stereo log scanner, including the new Optiline cutting line visualization software and the Maxicut cutting optimization. “Mariana Luigi was one of the first sawmills we equipped with the Logeye Stereo,” MiCROTEC Sales Account Manager Martin Baumgartner recalls.

 

The Logeye Stereo is a real-shape scanner for logs. The stereoscopic imaging system provides a full 360-degree scan of each log. The scanning process already takes place while the logs roll into the clamping carriage. This way, each log is already fully optimized and ready for sawing the instant it lies inside the carriage. High-resolution digital cameras and powerful LED lighting take pictures from different angles without the need for a longitudinal transport of the logs. The Logeye Stereo can also detect the current rotation of the log at any point in the process.

 

The scanner data is taken over by MiCROTEC’s Optiline software with the Maxicut cutting optimization. On a screen, the operator can see the optimized cutting pattern, which is projected onto the front sides of the log. “The band saw carriage’s high-precision measuring system significantly increases efficiency because it substantially reduces the operator’s workload. This way, the operator can focus more on quality, which leads to accelerated production. The precise positioning of the logs also resulted in a significant increase in yield,” Mariana emphasizes.
