Log sorting
Maximizing yield starts with better log sorting, and RemaSawco is here to help. We provide a complete solution for optimizing the entire log sorting process – from X-ray systems and 3D scanners to advanced optimization software. Add our real-time timber inventory and control systems, and it’s safe to say that log sorting has never been this easy. Or efficient.
Logsorting in short
Our Approach
With advanced log sorting capabilites, our customers increase yield by approximately 2%.
Features
Expose the inner properties, right through the heart wood – paving the way for greater sorting possibillities.
Measure the exact shape of the log, including bark thickness and the diameter under the bark.
Utilize the raw material in the best possible way, by sorting logs according to X-ray information, and to specific order requirements.
Decrease production and inventory costs by sawing according to specific production orders.
RS-LogScanner3DX is RemaSawco’s combined 3D and X-ray system for timber measurement. This combination measures the true shape of your logs and at the same time reveals the internal properties of the log. This means that you, already in the initial measurement, can choose to sort according to the product needs found later in the process. According to independent studies, the system offers the market’s best measurement of diameter under bark, which gives you major competitive advantages through more efficient raw material utilization.
RS-715 is a control system for log sorting and revenue sorting. The system is built around a network (Ethernet with a TCP/IP protocol) using PC and PLC technology. The operator interface is developed according to ®Microsoft Windows standard. The system is designed to simplify future expansion. The included industrial router makes it possible for RemaSawco to update software, check settings and troubleshoot the system. The connection is made with a high level of security via RemaSawco’s server and a VPN Tunnel.
RS-Opt achieves maximum value from every log. The user-friendly application with a modern look and feel and a graphic user interface makes it easy for the operator to control production. Log optimisation is is a continuous process during production based on a 3D-model of the log created in the 3D log scanner. After passing the scanner, the optimisition program calculates the optimal value based on best economical value, maximum volume or other customer requirements. RS-Opt is also a good tool for simulation and planning of the production, taking all possible cut patterns in consideration.
RS-LogScanner3D is RemaSawco’s measurement system for 3D measurement of timber, built on a user-friendly and future-proof software and hardware platform. With this measurement system, you get a high-performance scanner that measures the true shape of your logs to enable maximum yield. At frequent intervals, the entire mantle surface is recorded using hundreds of thousands of measurement points. The 3D measuring frame covers most needs for e.g., timber sorting, measuring, whole log fitting, saw intake, saw control and log turning.
