The recording of the workpiece width on optimization cross cut saws can have several functions:
- Determining of quality levels depending on width; e.g. a special width of wood can be assigned the highest quality level and can be sorted out respectively
- Further information: (number of kick-offs, quality optimisation)
- Together with an intelligent wood error detection, workpieces, which only have errors in the area of the edges, can be sorted out with a width recording device. These workpieces can be further processed after a cutting process.
- Determining of the optimal hoisting height of the saw blade (stroke limiter)
