Number 1 in Veneer Testers -- Worldwide
The Metriguard Model 2600 FX (2650) ultrasonic veneer tester is the industry standard for sorting veneer for Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL).   New models include 2650 DFX with digital processing and temperature compensation, 2700 VITKA high-speed density and moisture content, and the Model 2800 DME which enhances measurement of ultrasonic velocity with compensation for moisture content, temperature and wood density to compute Modulus of Elasticity.  

Model 2800 DME

Metriguard Model 2800 DME Veneer Tester
Dry-weight basis density, Modulus of Elasticity, ultrasonic velocity
Wood temperature compensation, width, thickness (opt)

New for 2008 Model 2805 DME Veneer Tester, now faster than ever

Now with Windows ® graphical user interface, USB ports, Ethernet, Touch Screen Controls
All the capabilities of the 2800 DME at 600 ft/min production speeds.
All models delivered after 1994 can be field upgraded to full 2805 specifications.

 

New for 2007, the Metriguard Model 2805 DME (below) offers even faster performance with full grading capabilities to 600 ft/minute line speeds to keep up with the fastest veneer dryer lines.   Please check the products page or give us a call. 

Designed for demanding production line use,   this equipment computes modulus of elasticity from measured ultrasonic velocity and specific gravity measurements.  Includes digital data processor, ultrasonic velocity measurement, wood density (specific gravity) measurement, MC measurement and infrared temperature measurement / compensation. 

Installation in belt conveyor lines is made simple by the split-frame design that allows the top of the machine to be removed.  The lower transport mechanism is then installed under the conveyor flights and the top sensor package is then replaced.   Drive speed is automatically matched by routing the return flight of the conveyor around the large drive pulley under the machine. 

 

Number 1 in Machine Lumber Grading - Worldwide
Metriguard produces the finest line of equipment in the world for producing MSR (Machine Stress Rated Lumber), MEL (Machine Evaluated Lumber), MGP (Machine Graded Pine), MSG (Machine Stress Graded Lumber)  and E-rated lumber grades.  Metriguard's full line of MSR products include production equipment, off-line quality control equipment, mounting hardware, accessories, parts and supplies.  Check the News page to see how our customers profit from producing MSR lumber using Metriguard equipment.

Now producing more than 1.5 Billion board feet of MSR annually
Metriguard has delivered more than 120 machine stress rating systems.  In 1988 Metriguard equipment was used to produce more than 2 billion board feet of lumber in MSR, MEL, MGP, MSG and E-rated Lumber grades in North American and metric lumber sizes.

Metriguard’s testing equipment has been installed in many countries including the US, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, Korea, Finland, Sweden, Germany and Austria.

Metriguard's Model 7200 High Capacity Lumber Tester is the most profitable equipment you will find anywhere in  the world for grading lumber at planer-line speeds.  Off line testing equipment includes the Metriguard Model 312 Bending Proof Tester and a full range of Tension Proof Testers to meet your every need.  The versatile Model 403 Tension Proof Tester is the most popular tensile proof testing machine.
