How Lasers Help Turn Logs into Lumber: Sawmill Tour

Modern sawmills choose LMI 3D vision sensors for their reliability in tough environments, speed, ease of use, technical documentation, and world leading customer support. Gocators are built from the ground up with an all-in-one design philosophy, allowing sensors to be easily mounted and generating accurate raw data within 15 min of unboxing. In this video, we will walk through the full process of turning raw logs into boards of different sizes. This includes explaining what every LMI sensor in this particular sawmill does and how the laser technology plays a crucial role in optimizing wood recovery, making sawmills more profitable and sustainable.
