Wood & Forest Products
Industry overview
Wood is a natural material: every board carries its own grain, knots and colour, so defects have to be separated from natural pattern. Boards are graded for knots and cracks, panels are searched for surface defects and furniture parts have their holes checked against the recipe; line-scan, laser profile and area cameras work together on the same line.
