Primary Breakdown
Optimizer
Newnes-McGehee's (NM) primary breakdown optimizer is a key component
of our double length infeed and sharp chain systems. Four scan heads using
a dual laser plane configuration minimize blind spots resulting from knots
and chain flights. Log data is processed for optimum recovery at the chipping
heads and band or circular saws producing cants and flitches that will
give the highest volume or value at downstream gangs and edgers.
The user interface displays 3-D solution graphics in real-time
showing curved cant and sideboard solutions. Report functions are
built in with complete log data and solution information. A production
simulator for testing different configurations on real log data
can be included.
