ABSTRACT:
A system for orienting cants for edging by the side cutters in an edger including an infeed unit for moving the cant into the edger along a prescribed path; a manually controllable positioning assembly remotely of the infeed unit for selectively positioning the cant with respect to a positioning axis to preorient the cant with respect to the positioning axis; a sensing device operatively connected to the positioning assembly for sensing the position of the cant with respect to the positioning axis when the cant is preoriented with respect to the positioning axis; memory unit operatively connected to the sensing device for storing the sensed position of the cant with respect to the positioning axis; a conveyor for selectively moving the cant from the positioning assembly to the infeed unit; an infeed stop responsive to the sensed position stored in the memory unit to position the cant with respect to the edging path with the same orientation the cant had with respect to the positioning axis when the cant was preoriented. The method of positioning the cant is also disclosed.
