The WoodExpert Log Optimizer is used on more types of machinery that any other system because it provides more value than any other system. By utilizing LASIOR or lineal scanning sensors, any type of log breakdown system can be optimized. The WoodExpert Log Optimizer is part of the WoodWide suite of optimization products. It combines dense 3D scan data with the power of today’s high-speed computers to let you get the maximum value from every log.

Increased Grade, Recovery and Value

With more features, capabilities and scanning options than any other system in the industry, our Bucking Optimizer combines dense 3D scan data with the power of today’s high-speed computers to let you get the maximum value from every stem.
