The HewSaw Log-In automatically locates each log’s vertical and horizontal centerlines and rotates the curved logs into the best orientation achieved from a computerized scanning decision.  This individual log preparation and orientation guarantees the highest fibre recovery from the chipping and sawing operations of the in-line HewSaw.

• Laser and matrix camera scanning
• 3D modeling of the log
• Each log is modeled for length, width, ovality, curve and defects
• The optimizing program calculates thousands of possibilities for the best fiber or value recovery
• Log Rotator turns the log into the optimal sawing position
