Metriguard Technologies Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Raute, is on the forefront of the machine stress rating business. Among our founders and current staff are extraordinary engineers who have patented original designs, published important findings, and contributed considerably to modern advancements in wood measurement technology. With an ear to the ground and an eye to the future, we invent new and unique products to solve your grading problems. If you can’t find your solutions in this catalog, call and talk with us about it. Many of our products are the result of customer-specific needs. At Metriguard, we know how to bend, pull, stress, strike, and even destroy wood products to measure design properties such as modulus of elasticity (E), bending strength, compression strength, shear strength, tensile strength, stress wave propagation time, and defect detection. Our machines can do this both on a production line at 3,000 ft/min (914 m/min), and in quality control rooms.
