Maximize lumber recovery with precision 3D scanning and real-time optimization for end dogging carriages.
LogView 3D™ End Dogger is an advanced log scanning and optimization system designed for end dogging carriages in sawmills. Using high-resolution 3D laser scanning, it captures true log shape, analyzes rotation, and determines the best breakdown strategy to maximize recovery and improve efficiency.
This system is built for hardwood and softwood sawmills utilizing end dogging carriages for primary breakdown. It provides real-time decision-making and automated log positioning, ensuring optimal saw lines for increased yield and minimal waste.
Traditional end dogging systems rely on manual adjustments or outdated 2D scanning, leading to suboptimal log positioning and reduced recovery rates. LogView 3D™ eliminates guesswork by automating log rotation, skew, and taper control, improving accuracy, throughput, and profitability.
LogView 3D™ End Dogger offers real-time scanning, motion control, and optimization for precision log breakdown.
Implementing LogView 3D™ End Dogger results in higher recovery, improved efficiency, and reduced waste.
Extracts the highest value boards and cants from each log.
Faster positioning reduces cycle times and improves throughput.
Automated adjustments ensure optimal log breakdown.
Minimizes manual input with automated optimization.
LogView 3D™ End Dogger integrates seamlessly into sawmill workflows, providing real-time log scanning, rotation control, and optimized cutting solutions.
Logs are secured in the end dogging carriage and scanned with high-resolution 3D lasers.
