BoardMaster is the most sophisticated and effective system for defect detection of sawn timber. The system is very user-friendly with intuitive interface and comprehensive web-reports. With its very high 0,25 mm2 camera resolution, the system detects defects like rot, blue stain and insect defects with great accuracy.
The latest BoardMasterNOVA system measures every board from ten different directions with the help of led and infrared lights. The system optimizes and grades boards according to the given quality rules and provides accurate information for board trimming and sorting. |

Strength Grading
FinScan products can be installed independently or together with strength grading machines. A strength grading machine must always be complemented with a visual override inspection, done either by a human or a machine vision system like BoardMaster.
Strength grading by BoardMaster and certification by an authorized organization allows the sawmill to use CE marking.
Visual strength grading | Visual inspection of machine graded lumber | Grading in accordance with the output control method | Visual grading of dimensional lumber | Visual sorting of lamellae (JAS) for glue laminated beams | Pre-grading of green or dry boards

BoardMaster upgrades
All the improvements made to the BoardMaster HDL version are available also for older BoardMaster versions. By replacing the computers with a new and powerful one, old software versions can be upgraded with all the improvements made to the image processing and optimization programs and the user interface of the new HDL software. Devices such as smart phones and tablets can be used for monitoring the production. A 42” monitor can be placed next to the line for showing even more clearly the sorting results. Image processing can be significantly improved and speeded up by replacing some electronic cards, and possibly obsolete cameras. The old fluorescent light tubes can be replaced with long lasting LED tubes, which save energy and reduce maintenance costs. |
