 Introduction
  • the PROBLEM

     A successful sawmill must figure out how to get more lumber from each log. Thin kerfs and target sizes are essential.

    But what happens when a saw gets dull, guides wear out, or a bandsaw begins to snake?

    Frequent checks using calipers will help, but a problem can easily downgrade hundreds of boards before it is detected.
     
  • the NEED

     Sawmills need a simple, reliable, and automatic way to monitor their sawing accuracy on a continuous basis.
     
  • the SOLUTION

    SizeCheck® measures every cant and board as it is produced. Alarms are sent via pager. Everyone in the mill can see individual boards, strip charts, histograms, and shift summaries in real time.
Are these boards the right size; e.g., from healthy machines?

This mill can rest easy because SizeCheck® measures every cant and every board, all day every day.
  • the PAYBACK

    Mills with SizeCheck® report higher lumber quality and grade yield, the freedom to use smaller target sizes, and a nice boost in production due to fewer unscheduled saw changes.
