MPM's NextGen Log Turning Optimizer calculates the most desired log rotation based on the cutting solution with the highest value or yield and the lowest risk. The log turning optimization supports multiple types of log turners most commonly used in the industry. A unique feature of the MPM NextGen system is the utilization of the log's profile in the rotation calculation rather than a geometric model.

• Works with the three common types of log turners: feedroll log turner, knuckle style and ring style rotator
• Completely configurable to model machinery
• Optimization includes curve sawing in its solutions (turn it "off" or "on" as required)
• Rotation analysis optimizes log for best rotation and evaluates risk of each rotational position
• Simulation of 3-D log images off-line allows for fine-tuning of settings
• Solutions are real-time product fit
• Rotation calculations are based on true shape of log and not a geometric based model of the log.
• Rapid scan frequencies to allow for conveyor speeds up to 700 feet/minute without compromising log data collection
• Full 3-D, high-resolution display of cutting solutions and corresponding rotation angle
• System architecture features Intel® based processors with Microsoft® Windows NT™ operation system
