Linear Pickline – Sensor Array

The Linear Pickline’s sensor array consists of six or seven sensors, depending on the model. The sensors detect the length and height of the lumber as it travels past the array.

The sensors work by measuring the time it takes light to reflect back and can be re-calibrated as needed. Calibration is done by pressing the “teach” button located on each sensor.

NOTE: What the teach button does is it re-measures the distance to the reflective surface, which is why, before calibrating you will want to verify that the reflective surface, opposite the sensor, is clear of any debris.
