System Control Highlights:


Optimization
Real time optimization according to product price.  Product definition by thickness, width, length, grade, wane rules, and price.  Parameter modification and saving during production.

Control System
Allen Bradley Control Logix looks like a programmable controller but is much more as it includes a state of the art control platform that integrates multiple control disciplines: sequential, motion, drive and process control.  This controller is much faster than a PLC 5 processor.  The dual axis servo control modules close the position and velocity loops 5000 times/second for enhanced position control.

User Interface/Solution Computer
Uses Proven Linux Operating System installed in reliable dual processor computer.  Graphical user interface provides 3D views of solution.  Only one computer/CRT is required for user interface and Real Time Solution Calculations.  Service available through modem via customer furnished phone connection.

Sensors
B8A Laser Sensors, 3 inch Spacing.
Lengths ordered in 2 foot increments.
Top and Bottom differential scanning.
Thickness Range up to 14".
Accuracy  +/- 0.020 inch (or better).
Thickness resolution 0.005 inches.
Field friendly Ethernet Cat 5 cables.
Width measurement resolution of +/- 0.050 inch.

Process Speeds
(Pieces per minute are directly affected by Material length and feed speed)

Board Edger Example:
Average Length =         20
Feed Speed =            750
Pieces per minute =    20
