ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for centering logs and veneer blocks by determining the largest inscribed cylinder that the veneer block can contain. Sensors located along the log length measure the critical dimensions and feed their measurements into a computer circuit for determining in less than a minute, the proper end centers of the log under examination for the maximum dimension of the cylinder which can be obtained from the log in veneering operations. The sensing elements may also be optical or accoustical, and thus avoid direct contact with the log surface.
