Merlin QX

Quality Scanner for Longitudinal Transport with X-Ray.

By using the Multisensor Quality Scanner Merlin QX, it is possible to reliably and accurately detect features and defects even inside the wood. This enables you to automate, streamline, and optimize your production. Through the combination of lasers, multispectral cameras, snapshot and X-ray technology, as well as artificial intelligence, the most precise scanning results are achieved, leading to a significant increase in added value.

Merlin QP

Innovative solution for quality inspection of coated profiles

Merlin QP is the world’s first scanning system for fully automated measurement and quality inspection of coated profiles – regardless of shape, color, or coating type. Whether MDF, PVC, or real wood profiles with color coatings or lacquers, Merlin QP automatically detects any profile geometry, distinguishes between intended milling features and actual defects. The system sorts the profiles based on quality and dimensional accuracy – even at speeds of up to 300 m/min in longitudinal transport.

Falcon

The system reliably identifies dimensional deviations, wane, and irregular or rough board edges. Using precise sensor technology, it captures the exact position, tilt, and depth of the wane edge and reconstructs the full contour of each board. These detailed measurements form the basis for optimised downstream processes such as sorting, edging, and trimming.

Merlin Log & Falcon Log

Merlin Log and Falcon Log are high-precision measurement solutions for capturing and analysing round timber and prisms. They operate based on snapshot technology without lasers, offering significant advantages over traditional laser measurement systems—particularly in terms of durability, reliability, and measurement accuracy under challenging conditions.
