The purpose of the Trim Block Sorter System is to provide individual board scanning, tracking and sorting.

The scanner head takes measurements at 1-inch intervals along the board length and at 0.030-inch intervals along the board width. The Data Acquisition application reads the scanner head sensors, creates individual block profiles for each of the sensor pairs space and sends the whole board data to the Data Processing application for data manipulation and sort designation.

The Data Reporting part of the application stores the shift data into a database for shift and history report generation.

The picture shows a 30 inch dual (top and bottom) scanner head with 1-inch reading intervals along the board. Different length /resolution scanner systems will be produced on customer demand.
