TECH UPDATE - Lumber Grade Optimization USNR USNR ‘s Lineal High Grader (LHG) and Transverse High Grader (THG) are among the industry’s leading automated lumber grading systems, backed by proven experience and satisfied customers, says the company. The latest features on the LHG are marginal grade logic, per board; hi/low grade, per pack; split/shake merging, per grade; and interface with an external moisture meter. LHG is the only automated grading system that offers fully integrated MSR/MEL evaluation within its frame, according to USNR. THG has similar capabilities to LHG. These include full four-face scanning with only two rows of sensors; utilizing proven LHG software to process the data and optimize the solutions; use of BioLuma 2900LVG+ sensors, which is the latest technology; LED lighting modules that offer brightest illumination of boards for vision scanning; and, a high speed, flat lumber transport system. THG uses the proven technology from the company’s LHG and combines it with its latest extra-high resolution BioLuma 2900LVG+ sensor, in a high speed, flat transport configuration.
