In the woodworking industry, a lot of logs need to be processed every year and are cut into boards of different shapes. In some areas of woodworking machinery equipment, infrared measuring light curtains are needed to detect, locate and measure the size of logs; Today, let's briefly introduce the process of turning logs into boards.

First, put the logs on the log sorting line. The logs enter the scanner through the conveyor belt. The scanned log system will automatically sort the logs according to their diameters. The sorted logs will be transported to the feeding platform by the grab truck. The logs will enter the production workshop through the conveyor belt. D will peel the logs in one step (quickly peel the logs with medium and large diameters), and then cut the edges and sort them after cutting, The sorted wood will be delivered to the stacker, and the stacked wood will be delivered to the drying kiln, which will dry the wood quickly and with high quality.

In the whole process, the place where the infrared measuring light curtain is normally used is in these three processes.

I The logs are placed on the sorting line and enter the infrared measuring light screen through the conveyor belt. The detected logs will be cut by the cutter and automatically sorted according to the log diameter. The sorted logs will be transported to the production workshop.

II Before entering the peeling equipment, it is necessary to measure the diameter of the log with a measuring light curtain, adjust the fixture and peeling tool according to the size of the log diameter, and accurately measure the log size can ensure stable production and no damage to the peeling equipment;

III The tare shall be removed, and the edge shall be cut after the tare is removed. During sorting, the length of the board will be measured through the infrared measuring light curtain to detect whether it is deformed. The board exceeding the specification will be removed.

Of course, in the whole sheet metal processing, because it is a fully automatic equipment, the overall degree of automation is very high, and many sensors and photoelectric switches will be used to position the product, drive the mechanical arm, etc. to achieve automatic grasping and detection. Including the application of safety, detection and measurement that may be used in the following automatic palletizer. Infrared measuring light curtain is widely used in woodworking machinery because of its contact detection, high detection accuracy, fast response, small error, and high cost performance.
