YieldMaster G3 Hardwood Carriage Optimizer

The YieldMaster G3™ system scans and tapers each log precisely according to the grade and targeted products specified by the sawyer using our patented StereoScan™ 3-D scanning for headrig carriages. Our system truly scans on the fly, which means the knees are moving to the pre-set while the carriage is moving to the saw all while scanning the log for data to determine the final set.

StereoScan™ projects a series of vertical laser lines onto the front and top sides of the log and views the lasers with dual CCD cameras 60 times per second while the carriage is traveling toward the saw. This produces a high-density digital “map” of the log surface, enabling the USNR YieldMaster G3™ Headrig Carriage Optimizer to precisely model and optimize the opening face for maximum grade recovery.
