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.
http://www.baneng.com/
Plenty of ready-to-use automation technology out there but this will
get you the results you are looking for.
Hope this helps.

First you said lumber, then you said log - which is it?
If the material is marked automagically, then the equipment should
already know where the holes are supposed to be! Possibly you/your
customer are trying to solve the wrong problem...
If it's a log, does it need to be rotated before drilling, or are all
the holes located along a single line?

Gotcha - but I think the difference is only of scale. The earlier
Radio Shack suggestion is good if you're (even minimally)
electronically literate. If not, you're invited to e-mail me directly
to discuss specs, schedule, and budget. :-)

not many places where you can still buy leds and components to build
"electronic" things you see, you ignorant shit.
you still get glued to your hand jerking yourself all the time!

Hot?
Sounds like you are well in to Fall in Houston.
Always try Radio Shack they have a small circuit engineering book and the
components enough to get you going..... It's simple enough in most home type
environments, but in a shop with dust and dirt you'd need a blower to keep
the lenses and the work piece clean and you'll also have variations on wood
color and knots of such. As for black paint, I'd go with a black or colored
sticker (it's consistent). You'd have to shield it somewhat from ambient
light too. You could consider a barcode reader system that not only triggers
the alarm but will also identify the work order/owner/piece and could be
incorporated in your billing.
