Description: Tigercat’s automated log measurement systems are integrated into their harvesting and processing heads, utilizing advanced software and sensor technology to maximize log value recovery, maintain accuracy in diameter and length, and minimize waste. These systems are often paired with Tigercat's telematics for real-time reporting.
Key Components and Features:
Measurement Systems (573/575 Heads): Tigercat uses harvesting heads (such as the 573 and 575) featuring independently mounted, trailing-arm length measuring systems that provide reliable tracking.
Optimal Processing: The heads incorporate automatic log selection and optimization, allowing for rapid and precise bucking to meet specific cut lists.
Automated Feeding and Control: The D7 control system allows for automatic, high-speed, and consistent log processing, with the ability to maintain accuracy within +/- 25 mm (1 in).
Data Integration (RemoteLog®): Tigercat’s RemoteLog telematics system enables offsite owners and managers to monitor log measurements and production data, helping calculate cost per tonne and analyse productivity.
Automatic Saw Limiter: The 575 harvesting head includes an automatic saw limiter that restricts the bar to the necessary length, allowing for lower stumps and increased safety.
