Scanmeg releases TS5

The latest development from the Scanmeg portfolio of products is an upgrade on the hugely successful TS4 scanner

The TS4 has been on the market for a while and is a key part of Scanmeg’s scanning range, representing one of the most advanced sensor systems and scanners available to sawmillers, regardless of the specific production challenges being faced down.

The 3D Laser technology is the described as the most efficient developments from Scanmeg, exceptionally proficient in working on digital profiles and shapes of objects.

The product series traces and applies a laser line to the object. Using an array camera, points are detected along the line to describe the profile and shape of the object.

The TS5 is a single-laser line canner that is fast, compact and robust. This line of products is ideal for measuring the shape of a tree, cant, boards or any dimensional object by the principle of triangulation. Ambient light no barrier

The TS4 was a highly advanced product but limited when the process was exposed to ambient light. The next logical step for Scanmeg, therefore, was to offer that same quality product without the light-issue barrier.

“Scanmeg’s TS5 is that new generation of products we were aiming for,” the company stated. “With our innovative technique, this product improves the results with ambient light immunity.

“Quality results and accuracy; you can operate this new TS5 in all kinds of light whether natural or artificial. You can operate the product in sunlight, if necessary. This means you no longer have to shield the line from sunlight by blocking windows or keeping doors closed.”

Triangulation technology means the projection of a laser line on an object allows the Type TS scanner to precisely measure the XY coordinates of the intersection of the laser line with the object. This allows the collection of all the necessary data, which is stored in it a digitized format that can be sent on demand to other devices to optimize the application.

“The TS5 could improve the processing line at many sawmills, adding a layer of convenience and resilience, while at the same time building on the fundamental scanning technology that has proven itself in the market over so many years.”

New identity – for a stronger Holmen

You may have noticed that Holmen has changed colors, icons and a new logo in their digital channels, in the annual report and in social media. It is part of Holmen’s new brand identity and affects how they look and communicate.

The new identity is based on the interplay between nature and technology. Holmen creates a sustainable future for customers and society, and it is through nature and technology that they make it happen. The story of Holmen begins in the forest, in the meeting between the power of nature and man’s curiosity and engineering.

To clarify its story, they have developed a new brand platform and visual identity. The new identity draws inspiration from this duality – the meeting between nature and technology. Soft shapes meet sharp corners and earthy tones contrast with energy-rich, stronger colours. A living brand that can proudly represent the whole of Holmen – from Forest and Energy to Wood Products, Cardboard and Paper.

“The entire group is part of our circular business and our new sharp brand expression that clearly reflects Holmen today; a futuresmart, circular business with the power to make a difference and which drives the transition to a sustainable society. ”
