BestCut profile inspection system
1
Goal
The goal of the project was to develop a geometry inspection system that could scan any plywood tongue and groove profile at full length. The system had to scan already existing profiles and profiles that will come into production in the future. The system had to collect production statistics of each plywood and record them for quality assurance purposes.
