Abstract
A lumber processing system for cutting lumber into predetermined shapes broadly includes a scanning section, a computer section and a cutting section. Incoming lumber is scanned in the scanning section using two-color cameras capturing images first under normal lighting and second under ultraviolet (black) lighting for illumination of pre-marked defects. Images are processed in the computer section to produce a polygonal model of the lumber. A series of auxiliary packing computers review the model and determine separate solutions for cutting the lumber. Parts are then `punched`from the lumber in the cutting section utilizing high power lasers cutting from both sides of the lumber simultaneously.
