WoodExpert Log Turner Optimizer provides programmable turn increments along with risk and stability analysis to ensure you get the best turn on every log. Regardless of your turner mechanics, the WoodExpert Log Turner Optimizer can handle it. Model the estimated accuracy of the turner, control the points to start and end log turning, control the angle to turn logs with sweep, control turning for defect and much more.

Maximum Value from Every Log

The WoodExpert Log Turner Optimizer combines dense 3D scan data with the power of today’s high-speed computers to let you get the maximum value from every log.

Configurable to Model Machinery includes parameters to: 

⦁ Model the estimated accuracy of the turner machinery.
⦁ Control the points to start and end turning log.
⦁ Control the angle to turn logs with normal sweep.
⦁ Set number of possible turn orientations for the optimizer to consider (up to 64).
⦁ Control turning for defect.

Operation can be Driven Three Ways. Includes parameters to control optimizer decisions based on: 

⦁ Turning for best value.
⦁ Turning for sweep orientation.
⦁ Turning defects to minimize feeding issues.

Sweep Definitions are Configurable. Includes parameters to adjust the definitions of:  

⦁ Pistol grip sweep.
⦁ Sweep too small to consider.
⦁ Sweep so extreme that value considerations are overridden.

Pattern Optimization Features 

⦁ Mode to run on fixed pattern.
⦁ Primary breakdown machine modeling.

Re-optimization Features Off-Line Analysis 

⦁ 3-D images can be automatically saved to files for later off-line re-optimization.
⦁ Off-line and on-line results are identical, allowing for fine-tuning of settings without risking real wood.
