The Taylor Laser Opti-Sizer is a computerized
panel selection machine which is used with a Conveyorized
Glue Applicator system. The Opti-Sizer saves both material
and labor when compared with either sizing panels by hand or at the
straight line rip saw.
The Opti-Sizer automatically selects random width (3/4” to 6”)
parallel ripped boards to produce panels of a specified width, thus
eliminating manual board selection. The Opti-Sizer will consistently
size panels within 1/8” at a rate of up to 7 panels per minute.
With our latest redesign in 2009, a Laser sensor is used to read the height of random
width boards on edge in the slots on the Opti-Sizer. These values are
fed into a computer. Based on the desired panel width, the computer
rapidly calculates and evaluates the thousands of combinations of board
selection. When the solution is found it advances those boards selected
onto the Conveyorized Glue
Applicator. After a batch of boards has been
sent onto the Conveyorized Glue Applicator, if a usable combination
of measured boards is still left in the Opti-Sizer, another panel will
be sent out before scanning again.
