JoeScan To Debut New Scan Heads
The sawmill scanning experts at JoeScan will soon bring the proven simplicity of their JS-50 scan head to more parts of the sawmill.
“Mills love how our latest JS-50 WX model performs on their edgers and trimmers,” says JoeScan president Joey Nelson. “It’s a robust, reliable platform that is very easy to use. So we’ve been working hard to develop next-gen scanners for more machine centers.”
JoeScan will debut several new scanners at the Timber Processing & Energy Expo trade show in Portland, Ore. to be held September 28, 29 and 30 at the Portland Expo Center. Registration for the three-day show is free for mill personnel.
