Good hot afternoon.

102F with a heat index of 125F here in NJ today... Death Valley, eat your
grilled heart out...

I've got a customer who wants to drill longer pieces of lumber - 10' to 20'

He doesn't want to use TigerStop to automate the process because it is a bit
slow and/or the holes are in different places from log to log. He was
thinking of manually or automatically marking the logs with black paint to
show where the holes had to be drilled. Then a photo eye or something
similar would see the mark and trigger an alarm of some sort to the operator
that they are in the right location to start the automatic drill I'm selling
him.

Question... Anyone know of a product that would allow him to do something
like this? Any other ideas?

Contact a Banner representative, they are one of the better photo-eye
companies. Their diffuse sensor p-eye has an automatic teach button
built into the eye so you can teach the areas you want to sense and the
areas you don't.

Plenty of ready-to-use automation technology out there but this will
get you the results you are looking for.

Hope this helps.
