Opti-Match

Operation of the Opti-Match is simple. The operator enters the desired panel width into the computer. The machine is quickly adjusted by a hand crank to accommodate the board length. Boards are then placed on the infeed of the machine. The Opti-Match singulates the boards and feeds them under color and width sensors. The computer uses this information to select the optimal combination of boards to build an accurately sized, 颜色匹配 and color blended panel. To build the panel the Opti-Match uses a series of lifters to re-arrange the order of the boards on the conveyor. The newly arranged boards continue to travel down the conveyor to the stacker. The stacker piles the created panels into a neat stack using a self-leveling scissors lift. When the lift is full, the machine stops itself. The operator rolls the stack off the lift and raises it for the next stack.

配色是一项困难的工作. Since every human sees color differently, matchers are difficult to train and consistency is hard to maintain. A human matcher might consider as many as ten boards when determining which boards to use to build a panel, all while trying to keep the panel size close to the desired width and also attempting to maintain uni- form color. Because of the large amount of information the operator has to process, panel building is a painfully slow operation and usually, 无论是大小还是颜色都会受到影响.

The Opti-Match considers twenty-two boards at a time. It uses its computer power to analyze hundreds of thousands of possible combinations, 这一切都发生在一瞬间, to determine the best combination of boards to match both size and color. The computer then uses complicated color algorithms to arrange the boards in the order that best blends the colors. 所有这些都是很快完成的. The Opti-Match allows one untrained operator to match and size panels at the rate of four trained matchers… consistently all day long.

The Opti-Match will produce on average 1260 panels per day (assuming 5 to 7 boards per panel), you can substitute the Opti-Match for 3+ men hand sizing panels.

• 增加产量
  • Experience has shown that manual sizing produces panels, on average, that are 1/2” or more too wide. Operators are impressed not to make under sized panels. To balance color and size, it is easier to produce a panel much wider than needed.
• 减少劳动
  • The Opti-Match can consistently produce panels within 1/4” of the desired size. This is a small advantage per panel but many board feet of savings per week, month, or year. A typical operator is capable of sizing and matching 20 panels per hour manually. With an Opti-Match, that same operator can size up to 4 panels per minute. The owners of the first Opti-Match are currently producing with one operator what used to take four operators.
• 节省空间
  • The Opti-Match centralizes the sizing and matching into one location, 替换多个布局表.
• 一致性
  • The Opti-Match sizes and matches consistently all day long. Manual matchers vary in skill level from one to the next and may grow tired toward the end of the day. Additionally, manufacturers can now color match panels that were previously unmatched due to cost.
