摘要： A lumber sorter includes a plurality of bins. A conveyor carries lumber (e.g. boards) along a path extending above the plurality of bins. A diverter is selectively operable to allow the conveyor to carry the boards past one or more bins or to divert a selected board into a selected bin. The diverter may comprise an upstream gate and a downstream gate, each operable to move between respective closed positions and open positions. In the closed positions, the top surfaces of the upstream and downstream gates are substantially level and allow boards to travel along the path as directed by the conveyor. The diverter may be actuated to the open position in which the upstream and downstream gates are separated, thereby providing a path for a board to fall into a bin.

摘要： A method for processing material that contains biomass. The material is led onto a conveyor. The conveyor conveys the material to an apparatus for mechanical processing and/or to a further processing plant. The moisture content is measured and/or the size of pieces of non-combustible material and/or the content of non-combustible material in the material flow is measured in connection with the conveyor. Based on at least one of the measurements, material is conveyed to the material to be conveyed for further processing and/or to the apparatus for mechanical processing, or to at least one material to be conveyed elsewhere than to the further processing plant or the apparatus for mechanical processing. Also a system for processing material that contains biomass.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for measuring the volume or the end face diameter of a tree trunk and for quality control. The volume is measured in a prior known manner with laser gauges capable of measuring top and butt diameters as well as a length, which are used for calculating a volume. For quality control, the end face of a tree trunk is illuminated with red light and blue light, and light coming from the end face of the tree trunk is received by a color matrix camera (5). From the red/blue ratio in the camera's (5) signals is identified the proportion of rot or other defect in the end face of a tree trunk. The camera signals can be used for calculating the end face diameters of tree trunks. The method is integrated with a pulpwood pretreatment process upstream of debarking.

摘要： This invention concerns a system for sorting elongated random width wood boards and preparing board rows having a row width within a predetermined width range. The system comprises a main longitudinal surface, a conveyor for conveying the boards on the main surface, a width detector, and accumulating compartments located one after the other under the main surface, controllable traps located on the main surface providing access to the accumulating compartments, controllable gates for retaining or releasing the boards accumulated therein and a controller. The controller selectively distributes each of the boards into the accumulating compartments, and controls the gates of the accumulating compartments to release the boards accumulated therein when the sum of the widths of the boards accumulated is within the predetermined width range.

摘要： An apparatus for selecting and sorting a plurality of random length boards to form at least one row of boards having a total length within a predetermined target length range includes a measurement section operative to measure the length of each board and a sorting section which includes a sorting device and system for sorting the boards. An accumulating row section accumulates and stores rows of boards selected from the plurality of boards and a vacuum suction transport device moves rows of boards from the accumulating rows to a bundling section which receives rows of boards and then bunches and aligns the rows of boards and bundles the rows of boards in a board row bundle. Finally, a central processor performs all calculations and controls to properly sort the boards to create bundles of rows of boards having a total length generally within a predetermined target length range.

摘要： A “Woodprint™” characterization and identification technique employs cameras (16), lighting (14), camera interface hardware (18), a computer (20), and/or image processing software to collect and analyze surface characteristics of pieces of wood (8) to track them through an automated production process in real-time with information that is specific to each wood piece (8), such as what machining is required, its value, and/or its destination. When a wood piece (8) reaches a point in the production process where a decision is required, its unique identity is used to retrieve appropriate information previously determined and assigned to the wood piece (8).

摘要： A classifying station for classifying a piece of wood in a wood processing plant, the classifying station including an area for an operator, a conveyor for transversely conveying pieces of wood before the area, and a console for entering classification related to a piece of wood to be classified, where the classifying station includes a dynamic classification zone located in front of the area having a predetermined length. The station also includes illumination elements adapted to selectively illuminate a piece of wood to be classified when the piece of wood is in the dynamic classification zone, the illumination elements being adapted to illuminate another piece of wood when the piece of wood has been classified; and control means for controlling the illumination means and operatively associated with the console in order to associate the illuminated piece of wood with information related to classification of the piece of wood entered by the user while the piece of wood is lit. The present invention enables a classifier to take more time to classify a more complex piece of wood, and less time for a less complex piece of wood.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for increasing strength and/or reducing strength variations in multi-layer wood, plywood, and the like sandwich material. The method comprises measuring wood veneers (10) for dry substance density (ρ) with high-frequency electromagnetic resonance (TEM) and additionally analyzing the homogeneity and/or grain structure of wood veneers from a wood veneer surface in the way of its darkness (R). If the wood veneer comprises a number of local first regions, which are darker than a predominant darkness of the veneer surface, the wood veneer in question has its calculated dry substance density (ρC) established to be lower than its initially measured value (ρM). On the other hand, if the wood veneer has a substantially uniform darkness, the wood veneer in question has the longitudinal and lateral distribution of its dry substance density evaluated and, if those are substantially uniform, the calculated dry substance density (ρC) of the wood veneer in question is established for a sorting process to be higher than its initially measured value (ρM). Wood veneers are sorted on the basis of said calculated dry densities for at least two different density categories. In a first density category (A), the dry substance density is higher than in a second density category (B). Wood veneers are laid on top of each other for multi-layer wood, plywood, or some other sandwich material (20), the veneers included in the first density category serving as surface veneers (13) and the veneers included in the second density category serving as middle veneers (14).

摘要： An apparatus for cutting and sorting boards conveys the boards along a conveyor path. The apparatus senses the length of boards and the grade of boards, and cuts selected boards into first and second segments. The first and second segments are aligned against lumber lines respectively on each side of a conveyor path. The boards are then selectively sorted and dropped into bins successively positioned along each side of the conveyor path.
