Three-Dimensional Reality

Seven unbeatable reasons for choosing DiSHAPE by MiCROTEC:

Realistic 3D images of logs, lumber and models
Records indentations, sweep and ovality and their positions
Determination of the smallest and largest diameter of logs
High conveyor speed: > 300m/min without jeopardizing the accuracy of the measurements
Optimization of rotation, bucking and sorting
Increase in internal rate of return due to intelligent optimization program
Possibility to calibrate and calculate volume in compliance with usual trade practices and scaling rules (Scribner, Doyle, and many more…)

The new DiSHAPE by MiCROTEC is the logic successor to the consolidated TRUESHAPE system and incorporates the new DiSCAN100 3D measurement module. This innovative system is unmatched in the 3D log and lumber measurement today and represents the most advanced technology globally on the market.

The combination of laser triangulation and the DiSCAN 100 differential reflected light scanning, DiSHAPE forms realistic 3D image representations of logs and lumber without any shadows from chain bars or other obstructions. It not only registers all depressions, but also sweep and ovality of the log. Furthermore the exact position of the ovality is precisely recorded.

Combined with supported optimization programs such as WiNLOG by MiCROTEC, DiSHAPE gives our customers significant advantages over their competition. Mills equipped with MiCROTEC technology are evidently leaders in fiber utilization, lumber recovery, and economic efficiency.
