Timber Grader MTG: Multi usable low cost

This system is used by renowned institutes and universities, worldwide.
The convenient  wireless Timber Grader MTG is very user-friendly and can be used virtually anywhere, any time and for anything. Whether it is for strength grading timber to be purchased or processed, sorting of wood in strength classes, or for research and education.

MTG handheld device

The performance of the Timber Grader MTG is comparable to that of mechanical grading systems and gives significant  better grading than visual strength grading. As a result more timber ends up in a higher grading class. The Timber Grader MTG measures both hardwood and softwood and it can be used anywhere in the world by upgrading it with additional strength class licences.

How does it work?

The Timber Grader MTG is an ergonomic (sensor) measuring instrument with an LCD display that is placed against the wooden beam. When the trigger button is pressed, it sends a sound-wave (signal) through the beam. The specially developed Timber Grader software converts these sounds-waves into measurement results quickly and without errors.

These results can then be transferred to a standard PC or laptop without requiring a cable. One of the many options is a simple analysis of the measurement data.
This is important for quality inspections and certification requirements, for example.
