Inside Look: Roseburg's Con-Vey Unveils Innovative Automated Panel Repair System

In this video, Con-Vey Vice President Jeremy Goebel shares the exciting news about their Panel Repair Edge-Damming System that they have built. Roseburg, OR — Con-Vey, a leading manufacturer of industrial automation, has unveiled a groundbreaking Panel Repair System designed to streamline and automate the process of plywood edge panel repairs. Traditionally done manually, panel repairs have long been time-consuming and labor-intensive. Con-Vey’s new system changes that by using advanced vision technology and robotics to detect and fill defects on panel edges with high precision. The system identifies imperfections using a sophisticated scanner and automatically deploys robotic tools to repair them. Once defects are detected, plugs are cut and installed automatically, minimizing human error and boosting consistency. The fully automated process not only reduces labor requirements but also increases production speed and accuracy. The system is compatible with various panel types and integrates easily into existing production lines. Operators can monitor and adjust the system through a user-friendly interface, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum efficiency. Con-Vey says the technology is built with flexibility in mind, allowing customizations to suit specific manufacturing needs. With this innovation, Con-Vey aims to help wood product manufacturers increase throughput, reduce waste, and meet rising quality standards—all while lowering operating costs.
