SPECIFICATIONS
Increasing productivity is as easy as installing a Ranger™ Retrieval System.
The highly efficient MatchPoint® BLADE™ wood processing system demands an infeed system that keeps pace with its speed. The Ranger™ Retrieval System not only has the speed, but also the flexibility to integrate seamlessly into your workflow. It is configured according to your own footprint and timber usage requirements. Together, the BLADE and Ranger™ Retrieval System complement each other to achieve a drastic improvement in productivity with less manpower.
How it works…
The Ranger™ Retrieval System seeks and retrieves the exact boards needed to cut.
The core of the Ranger™ Retrieval System system is a trolley with an automated picking head. The trolley moves back and forth on a runway truss positioned over timber carts while the picking head’s laser scans below. After locating the specific piece of timber needed, the picking head uses a powerful vacuum to hold the board while moving it to the infeed deck.
The system is fast and efficient, constantly supplying the BLADE queue with timber. The result: your BLADE wood processing system never goes hungry waiting for a new board.
