Lumber Grading

In the wood industry, precise and efficient measurement of logs is a key factor in optimizing the sawing process. AT Sensors offers a powerful solution with the 2040 3D camera, enabling rapid and accurate measurement of log diameter, length, and volume. This advanced technology adapts flexibly to various log shapes and sizes, thereby enhancing efficiency and quality throughout the wood processing workflow.

Efficient Lumber Grading in the Wood Industry

In modern wood processing operations, precise measurement of logs is a key component of process automation. Especially in sawmills and log receiving areas, reliable detection of diameter, length, and volume is essential — both for material valuation and for optimizing downstream processing steps.

Traditional measurement systems often reach their limits when dealing with irregular log shapes, surface contamination, or changing environmental conditions. This is where AT Sensors’ 3D sensor technology comes into play: With high-resolution profile cameras and flexible integration options, it enables robust, fast, and accurate data acquisition directly on the line — even with high throughput and varying wood species.

Thanks to the modular design of our sensors, the system can be tailored to your specific setup and production needs — without compromising speed or measurement accuracy. This not only increases operational efficiency, but also contributes to a more sustainable use of raw materials.
