Paw Taw John Services, Inc. 3-D Scanning Carriage Control
Paw Taw John Services, Inc. 3-D Scanning Carriage Control
PTJ 3D scanning carriage system utilizes the flexibility of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for machine control, an industrial computer for data acquisition, Servo Sensors® for knee motion control, Time of Flight (TOF) laser technology for
carriage position, and Joe Scan 3D scanner heads for log analysis .
- 8 Board and 8 cant sets
- 4 species size tables
- MOF, BOF, and manual log breakdown methods
- Cancel taper / cancel cant and motion over-ride buttons
- 2 programmable hot set sizes-1/4" and 1/8"
- Split hot button - moves knees to the center of whatever wood is left on carriage
- Log counter
- Memory
- Joe Scan 3D scanner heads with 100base T connection speed
- Joe Scan scanner heads have a 5 year warranty
- Scans at 12" or 6" centers with accumulated 1" resolution
- Simple mounting and adjustments of scanner heads
- Easy scanner calibration
- If scanner fails, system can still run with the PLC control
- Enclosures are smaller and less hardware used due to the module integration of the control
- Motor sontrol start / stop function for hydraulic power unit
- vProven in industry, the MTS® ServoSensor™ motion controller
- LT7 carriage position laser have a high MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) rating and are readily available from the factory
- Since we use a laser or position of the carriage, no mechanical items are needed and nothing can wear out
- Since a PLC is used, customer specified machine control is possible. An example, saw guide up and down, gate control, log deck interface, and/or log loader control
- DC power requirements for all components are +24 VDC. Thus no special power supplies are needed
- Enclosures and consoles are UL inspected
- Log Breakdown Methods
- Standard techniques used throughout the industry
- MOF (Minimum Opening Face) programmed
- BOF (Best Opening Face) programmed
- Manual breakdown if wanted
- Cant optimized in solutions
- Grade saw at any time
