Shape-Scan L
Bow, bending and twist measurement
Method : while the board is moving longitudinally along a fence, 3 laser triangulation sensors measure the distance between the board surface and a reference position.

| Resolution | 0.02 mm or 0.06 mm |
| Measurement accuracy | 0.1 mm or 0.25 mm |
| Measurements accuracy for bow, bending and twist |
according transport conditions |
| Measurement speed | 1000 measures / s |
| Power supply | 10-230 V AC, 50-60 Hz |
Length, width, thickness, bow, bending and twist measurement
Method : while the board is moving longitudinally , 6 –or more- laser triangulation sensors measure the board width and thickness (in option bow, bending and twist)
| Board transfer | lengthwise |
| Measuring range | 40 mm or 100 mm |
| Resolution | 0.02 mm or 0.06 mm |
| Measurements accuracy - for width - for thickness - for length - for bow, bending and twist |
0.1 mm or 0.25 mm 0.1 mm or 0.25 mm according board speed according transport conditions |
| Measurement speed | 1000 measures / s |
| Power supply | 10-230 V AC, 50-60 Hz |
ShapeScan Lis a new product for the automated high speed shape control of boards during lengthwise transport. The distance sensors are industrial proven and already used in many other applications for shape and dimension control.
Based on the flexible and multiple assembling of the laser triangulation sensors it is possible to set up optimal designed and customized Bow, Twist and Bend Measuring Devices for mostly every needed board dimensions. Furthermore, length, width and thickness of the boards can be measured precisely as well.
The systems are developed in Windows environment and built-in network connections.
The measuring devices are highly accurate and robust. They can be easily combined and integrated with all the other scanner products of LuxScan Technologies in order to determine and compute complex cutting or sorting decisions.
ShapeScan L is modular designed and can be extended according customized requirements.
* Laser Triangulation : the optical principle is based on triangulation. The laser send a small bright spot on the object. The receiver of the sensor detects the spot position. The angle increases within the distance between the sensor and the object. The sensor basically measures this angle and then calculates the distance.
