The use of 3-D laser scanning has revolutionized the wood products industry. The ability for sawmills to scan and profile logs and boards with non-contact laser measurement is a major breakthrough, allowing mills to optimize their cutting decisions and maximize yield. The first generation of machine vision was typically complex, unreliable and expensive. In the great American tradition, someone decided there had to be a better way – and then built it. That’s how JoeScan was started, and it’s the same principle that drives us to continue improving laser scanning.

JoeScan laser scanners represent the best of what ingenuity and technology can offer. Every JoeScan JS-20 scan head is easy to use, simple to install, built tough for maximum reliability, and priced to make scanning affordable for your wood-products application. And JoeScan products are backed by helpful people, online support and the industry's only 5-year warranty. The JoeScan advantage is easy to sum up: Our scan heads are faster, more accurate and more reliable than other products out there.
