LMI Professional-Grade
3D Wood Scanners
LMI offers cost-efficient Gocator® laser profilers for log scanning. These sensors provide the 2D intensity and 3D shape data, high-speed, high-resolution, and wide fields of view (up to 2m) for proficient wide-transport system applications. A key advantage of Gocator 3D laser profilers for lineal log scanning is they can be easily networked in a multi-sensor ring layout. Logs are transported on a sharp chain through this sensor ring configuration in order to scan 360º of the log surface and generate a complete 3D point cloud aligned to a global coordinate system.
