Sawmill Automation

The Timber Industry represents a significant portion of CNC Design’s specialist expertise in Australia and New Zealand. Key partnerships have been formed with world market leaders Siemens for Electrical control and drive equipment and Perceptron for scanning and optimisation systems offering a mill wide automation, optimisation and service solution.

 

CNC Design has earned a high reputation in the wood processing industry...

For understanding the need for reliability, increasing yields and for working successfully with clients to achieve competitive solutions to improve throughput and recovery.

As sawmill operators adopt scanning and optimisation systems to boost board yields from log milling, rapid technology improvements are raising the efficiency bar on recovery rates – and cutting capital pay-back times for the equipment.

CNC Design offer Sawmill Automation and 3D scanning technology in New Zealand and Australia and the South Asia region. CNC Design is the appointed Sales, installation and service agent for Perceptron USNR, the world leader in 3D Mill wide Scanning and Optimisation systems.

Supported products including:

  • Bin Sorters including management software
  • 3D scanning and optimisation – PERCEPTRON USNR
  • Carriage saws and Gang saws
  • Stackers
  • Edgers
  • Horis
  • Trimmers
  • Log merchandisers
  • Board handling
  • setworks controls
  • other sawmill

SAWMILL UPGRADE

CNC Design offers a comprehensive upgrade service including new setworks control systems, operator consoles, variable speed drives, hydraulics and scanning. All have been very successfully retrofitted to a diverse range of machines such as Carriages, Edgers, Gang saws, Resaws and Slabbers.

The reasons for upgrading are numerous; for example in the case of log carriages it may be that fully independent knees, improved setting accuracy or faster cycle times are required. As the old “black box” control systems become increasingly difficult and costly to service, many mills are choosing to upgrade, while at the same time boosting throughput and recovery with 3D scanning and optimisation.
