M5 Grade Mark Reader – ‘The best vision system value in the industry’ 

Lucidyne’s NEW M5 Grade Mark Reader launches their patented ColorScan® snapshot technology to the next generation!  This product has been redesigned in all aspects to make it even more reliable and valuable to your mill. 

The Lucidyne M5 Grade Mark Reader (GMR) is a high-resolution vision system that reads handwritten symbols written on the face of lumber. The system interprets the symbols and converts them into instructions. These instructions are then passed to another system (trimmer or sorter control system, lumber tally system, trimmer optimizer, or other form of control). 

The M5 GMR head is suspended either over a section of lug chain or its lug loader to assure the boards are singulated. One or more graders are located upstream and write a single symbol on the face of a board. The symbol corresponds to a grade or to any other characteristic that the mill wishes to record. When the board passes beneath the GMR scanner head, the symbol is read and a corresponding output is enabled within the control enclosure.

The Lucidyne M5 GMR requires the use of fluorescent crayons or chalk. These markers are available in an assortment of colors and hardness levels. Since the basic system is a symbol recognizing system, the color of the marker is disregarded. Mills can still, however, choose to assign certain colors to specific grades so that the board is visually identifiable to a particular grader. The Lucidyne M5 GMR works with virtually ALL commercially available fluorescent crayon colors. 

The highlights include:                   

• NO bulbs to change!
