The complete line with vacuum destacker, Paul Wood Scanning System, optimized cross-cut saw RAPID and sorting system. At the beginning of the year, Paul Maschinenfabrik (Dürmentingen/Germany) delivered a fully automatic optimizing cross-cut system for the production of large wooden cable drums to North America. The Southern German mechanical engineering company not only took over the overall planning, but also supplied most of the system, transport and mechanization components. In this demanding task, the company was able to demonstrate its extensive know-how and many years of experience in plant engineering. "Despite a relatively tight delivery schedule, we were able to complete the line on time," says a satisfied Paul. The American customer produces packaging and industrial products for well-known brands in various industrial sectors worldwide. At the beginning of the production process, a vacuum destacking system transfers the timber packages to the system in layers. The workpieces have a length of between 1,220 and 6,100 millimeters. They are then fed individually to the Paul Wood Scanning System and detected using colour cameras, line lasers and point lasers. In addition to geometric deviations and timber characteristics, the system also detects small cracks, resin pockets, blue stain, brown rot and much more. These surface structures are very valuable for automatic classification and quality assessment. A sophisticated software package calculates the best possible optimization result and ensures the maximization of added value with the greatest possible performance.
