Lumber Defects Detected by ALGIS

ALGIS is a "Transverse" Automatic Lumber Grader featuring Geometric surface scanning at high speeds.

The "Grading Rules" of your district are programmed directly into ALGIS and can not be altered. The "host" computer is mill programmable to suit your exact needs.

A "Random" lumber selection is standard and absolutely no adjustments are required to run in random mode.
