Kadant Carmanah Design is proud to introduce the next generation of strand technology: ARGUS Smart-Connected Technologies.
By installing sensors and vision systems that collect data-driven insight about how your SmartRING Strander is operating in real-time, you can make more informed decisions about how to optimize the productivity and efficiency of your stranding operation.
The ARGUS Fines Measurement System (FMS) continuously scans the strander outfeed conveyor to provide real-time fines percentages for every cutting pass. Removing the variability and errors associated with infrequent and inconsistent manual strand sampling provides OSB producers more relevant data for making better process decisions.
The Log Deck Optimizer (LDO) tells operators the volume of wood staged on the log deck, prior to feeding into the load pocket. When combined with ARGUS LFO, operators have full visibility over the strander feed system, allowing the delivery of consistently full batches into the strander.
