ZippyScan Transverse is a scanner for both wet-sawn and dried boards. It is designed to detect defects, assess board dimensions, and perform sorting, trimming, and visual strength grading. It helps sawmills boost product quality, increase kiln load quality, and streamline sorting decisions.
The ZippyScan leverages high-performance computing (HPC) to optimize various wood lengths and widths, efficiently processing two boards / second. It handles green and dry wood without optical readjustment, considering enabled production products, quality classes, thickness, and sorting strategies to maximize kiln load quality and minimize unnecessary energy cost per load. Featuring complete 2D optimization, ZippyScan Transverse increases production capacity and stability in the sorting line.
The system’s advanced multi-sensor setup combines 3D laser profiling, scattering laser, and color imaging, enabling accurate detection of board geometry, surface defects, and dimensional irregularities. It identifies warp, cup, twist, cracks, knots, wane, and other visual inconsistencies, supporting comprehensive quality control. For dry softwood applications, the scanner may be combined with density measurement equipment to provide visual strength grading such as the INSTA 142 standard or equivalent.
Optimized for integration into high-throughput operations, ZippyScan Transverse delivers classification results in under one second. Its AI-based decision engine supports real-time control signals to trimmers, stackers, and sorting gates, enhancing downstream efficiency while reducing manual input and operator variability.
ZippyScan Transverse transforms board sorting into a data-driven, high-precision operation, helping sawmills boost yield, reduce waste, and achieve greater kiln efficiency — all while maintaining operational agility.
With modular installation, the system can retrofit existing workstations and relieve manual labour.
