JoeScan JS-25 X6B Carriage Scanners Deliver Results

JoeScan's scan heads have been made for sawmills since 2002. JoeScan's newest scanner, the JS-25 X6B, is a six-laser scanner designed for high-density, snapshot-scanning of logs on carriage headrigs. The JS-25 X6B makes it easy to upgrade obsolete carriage scanning systems, often reusing the existing scan frame.

Customers who have implemented JS-25 X6Bs have experienced increased production and yield. "Within two months of Pennyrile Sawmill installing a new carriage system with JS-25 X6Bs, it has increased production by 4-5% and has increased yield by at least 8%," says Mahlon Grayber, owner of Pennyrile Sawmill.
