Serie
First model of a new product line
The 3DG Scan TL Series is designed for transverse scanning with linear cutting, enabling processing of boards, cants, and slabs simultaneously, even in mixed‑flow production.
Equipped with 4 to 24 JoeScan cameras, it can handle pieces up to 24 feet long, 24 inches wide, and 24 inches high. Processing density is configurable, typically around 1/16″ (≈ 2 mm), with a scanning rate reaching 2 000 profiles per second, depending on configuration and application.
It is particularly suited for secondary breakdown operations such as edgers, bull edgers, and canters.
