Advanced wood processing is increasingly based on fully automatic high-per- formance lines, starting with cutting of raw wood. An upstream scanner forms an integrated component of the overall system. The scanner picks up the relevant lumber data (knots, warps and discoloration, etc.) and transfers them to the downstream machines such as ripsaws and optimizing miter saws at full produc- tion speed. Exact measurements help promote optimum wood yiel
