ABSTRACT:
A method and means for adjusting a log into a position in front of a saw necessary to obtain a maximum yield. The log is turned in such a manner that any curvature is positioned in a plane parallel to the plane of the saw members and is then is displaced sidewardly in such a manner that a plane containing the log end centers becomes properly positioned in relation to the plane of the saw members. The positioning of the log into the desired rotational position is carried out at a point to the side of the saw line with a simultaneous scanning of the log dimensions electronically and storing of such information in a computer. The log, having been turned into the desired rotational position, is then held in that position and is fed laterally generally into the saw line where the log is side-adjusted into a proper orientation longitudinally in relation to the saw members. The side-adjustment is performed, based on information stored in the computer, in such a manner that each individual log gives maximum yield with respect to its dimensions, and any other data stored in the computer such as the current demand and current market conditions.
