Cascade Hardwoods invests in MiCROTEC's CT Log Scanning technology
Cascade Hardwoods recently invested in MiCROTEC's CT X-ray Log Scanning and Logeye 900 Stereo Carriage Scanners for their Chehalis, WA facility.
The CT X-ray scanner utilizes Computed Tomography X-ray reconstruction to detect internal defects including knots, cracks, rot, and bruising. This information is then passed to the Logeye 900 Stereo Carriage scanners where each segment will be recognized via fingerprint technology, optimized for best rotation and breakdown, then sawn to achieve the most value-added solution.
MiCROTEC’s Vancouver, Canada location specializes in delivering advanced Log Scanning and Optimization solutions to the North American Market, from bucking through to primary and secondary breakdown. MiCROTEC, headquartered in Italy, is the world’s most trusted scanning and optimization provider for the sawmilling and wood processing industry.
