E980 – Sawmill
The Easy-Laser® E980 Sawmill system will help you increase efficiency and save money in your sawmill. The system measures straightness, flatness and squareness. Simple to use, even for your own maintenance and production staff. Equally useful on band saws and circular saws.
Easy-Laser E980 is a laser based measurement and alignment system that helps sawmills to make optimal use of their facilities. Correctly set up machines make it possible to maintain a high rate of production with the highest quality end products hour after hour.
Easy-Laser E980 makes it fast and easy to measure and adjust reducers, counterholds, band and circular saw blades. The laser transmitter in E980 can be used as a point or a rotating point, which gives a ”plane” to measure against. It replaces the traditional cord/wire, that was tensioned in the centre, and enables you to move around freely in the machine, screwing and adjusting, while following the result of the adjustment in real time.
With E980 you can measure straightness, flatness and squareness in relation to the vertical and horizontal planes if you wish. The system is easy for production and maintenance personnel to use and works for both band and circular saws. In addition, it is excellent for measuring flatness and ensuring that the base remains stable and level.
There is a rapid return on the investment through fewer production stoppages and more even quality in the sawn timber.
Benefits of using Easy-Laser E980:
- Less unplanned downtime
- Better product quality
- Longer lifetime for blades
- Longer lifetime for bearings
- Less vibration
- Less waste material
Measurement programs
The featured programs below are the most common used with this system. Please click here for a complete overview of possibilities. *=accessories needed
With our program for measuring straightness, you can easily measure long shafts, rolls, bearings, bases, machine structures etc. All you have to do is define a number of measuring points, in advance or while measuring. You will be able to get the result for both the horizontal and vertical alignment, graphically as well as digitally. To get even more out of your system, add the D22 swiveling laser.
Program to measure flatness/twist of (for example) machine bases, machine tables, etc. With advanced “best-fit” calculations.
For parallelism measurement of rolls, rails, overhead tracks, gantries, metal sheet cutters, production lines, etc.
