Maximize yield and efficiency with real-time 3D scanning and optimization for small log processing.
The Small Log Line 3D Optimizer is an advanced scanning and optimization system designed for high-speed small log processing. Utilizing high-resolution 3D laser scanning, it analyzes each log in real time and determines the best cutting solution to maximize recovery and minimize waste.
This system is built for sawmills and timber processing facilities handling small-diameter logs. It is ideal for chipper canter lines, twin and quad bandsaws, and gang edgers, providing real-time decision-making to optimize breakdown strategies.
Processing small logs presents unique challenges, including variable log geometry, rapid handling speeds, and high throughput demands. Traditional methods lead to waste, inaccurate cutting, and lower yields. The Small Log Line 3D Optimizer eliminates these inefficiencies with automated scanning, real-time cutting decisions, and seamless motion control, helping sawmills increase recovery and profitability.
The Small Log Line 3D Optimizer delivers fast, precise scanning and optimization, ensuring seamless log breakdown and maximum yield.
Implementing the Small Log Line 3D Optimizer results in higher recovery, improved efficiency, and reduced waste.
Extracts more usable lumber from small-diameter logs.
Optimized cutting strategies reduce cycle times and improve throughput.
Precision scanning ensures the best opening face and optimal board solutions.
Automated decision-making minimizes the need for manual operator input.
The Small Log Line 3D Optimizer integrates seamlessly into high-speed sawmill processing lines, ensuring real-time scanning, cutting optimization, and accurate board breakdown.
Logs enter the processing line and pass through high-resolution 3D laser scanners, capturing taper, sweep, and profile data.
The system calculates the optimal breakdown strategy based on log shape, size, and mill-defined rules.
Optimized cutting paths are sent to chipper canters, bandsaws, or gang edgers for precision breakdown.
All log data, including dimensions, recovery rates, and production metrics, is stored in a SQL database for analysis.
The Small Log Line 3D Optimizer is engineered for high-speed small log processing with precision scanning and optimization capabilities.
