Accurate measuring in harvesters is crucial in an efficient forestry. Skogforst has therefore produced a guide called Measure Up! that presents the technology and methods for harvester measurement as well as strategies for systematic checks and adjustment. Source: Timberbiz
Every day, timber, pulpwood and energy wood with large economic values are harvested in forests. In order to maximise timber value, and to minimise waste when making specific products, the harvester must be able to measure the length and diameter of the stem with great accuracy. This requires smooth-running technology, correct settings and an efficient working method.
An operator plays an important role in ensuring that the harvester is measuring accurately.
The guide aims to provide an overview of how the measurement system on the harvester works, and to show how you can work systematically with checks and adjustment of the measurement system.
