The display can be mounted for the operator
to see it with ease. It can display 2 lines
giving the operator both dimensions of the
cant being sawed. The sensor is mounted
directly above the turner/stops and
continually reads the dimension. The
dimension is displayed by moving the
joystick to the right. Each time the stick is
activated the display will change to reflect the
new measurement. This allows the operator
to select the correct saw set for more
accurate lumber.
The heart of the system is an Allen Bradley
Controller and a Banner Ultrasonic sensor.
These controllers have been used in many
mill applications and have a reputation of
being extremely reliable. The enclosure is
rated to NEMA 12 standard and all wiring
is NEC compliant.
The control cabinet can be located
anywhere it is convenient. It requires 120
V supply power. It must be connected to
the display, a momentary switch for
activating the measurement to be
displayed, and the sensor. There is a
calibration knob and an indicator light to
ensure the system is properly calibrated
prior to each day of operation. This
provides a quick check to the operator for
system accuracy.
