METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR MEASURING TIMBER

摘要

An arrangement and method for measuring a piece of timber (4) in a wood handling machine (1 ), wherein the piece is grabbed by a cutting head (3) arranged to a set of booms (2) in the wood handling machine, and the dimensions of the piece are measured by at least one measuring means in the wood handling machine. A measuring signal field formed by one or more measuring beams (6) is also directed to the piece of timber (4) with a monitoring device (5) utilising contact-free measurement, and a point cloud (7) to be stored is provided by the measuring signal field it produces. The parts to be identified are identified from this point cloud, and a quantity to be measured is defined and formed of the information content of the point cloud. The obtained result is directed to a measuring system in the wood handling machine for further utilization.
