BARBARIC | SWS Stanchion Storage

In the store-in area, a laser scanner automatically detects the edges of the wooden planks and also saves an image of the wood grain. The storage software not only keeps track of the planks regarding formats and quantities, but also offers an overview of the workpiece surface before ordering planks for store-out or feeding into a machining centre. 

With this solution we can offer a fully automated store-in of delivered wooden planks on a pallet. First a layer with multiple planks is scanned and then stored individually after measuring and edge detection. Before the step for the next layer can be repeated, intermediate timbers are stripped with our special traverse.

The Solid Wood Storage SWS combines many years of experience in the field of wood panel handling with innovation in design and software. Our traverse is specially designed for the handling of solid wood and integrates a laser scanner as well as a stripping mechanism.

Automatic Laser Scan

of surface and edge contour

A laser scan of the surface not only allows the edge contour to be recognized, but also gives the operator a very good image of the wood grain and surface for the retrieval and feeding process. This makes it possible to determine whether the wood pattern is suitable for further processing or if it is necessary to select a different workpiece to be retrieved.

Fully Automatic Store-in

of delivered planks with wipe-off function for packaging wood

Our Solid Wood Storage SWS enables the fully automatic store-in of wooden planks that arrive stacked on a pallet with packaging wood inbeetween layers. Once the store-in is started, no operator is necessary for until the storage system is ready for the next pallet to load. During the storage process one workpiece after the other is stored and packaging woods are automatically pushed off before manipulation.
