How Does ALGIS Work?
Here are the 3 reasons for our
success:
 Our patented approach is the reverse of every other system. Our processing power focuses on
defects, not on analyzing
every square inch of clear material. This dramatically reduces the
processing power required. Algis breaks down the massive
amount of information required to grade
lumber by using a modular system which scans the board in
2 foot sections. All four sides and both ends are scanned on each piece of lumber. There is a machine vision processor in each 2 foot module
which applies
the grading rules to each 2 foot section of lumber and then sends its
decision to a host computer. The information is then combined from all of the
modules to make a grade and trim decision. The downstream programming for
the trimmer and sorter remains the same as ALGIS runs in parallel with your
existing programming.
-
 Scanner lenses are purged with forced air which keeps them clean. This is
key to good resolution and sharp images which are necessary for accuracy.
- Fast, non-mechanical boardturners, allow ALL scanners to view the lumber
from above the table. ALGIS is partnered with
SharkFin Boardturning Systems.
