Curve Sawing

Porter Engineering has applied its many years of experience in Real-Shape Scanning and Optimization to Cant Optimization for Curve sawing and Profiling. RT3 utilizes the same UHD “Ultra High Definition Scanning” and Multi Core Computer Hardware to provide systems for all the major machine manufacturers machine configurations.
All Porter’s Primary Breakdown Software has the same look and feel which provides the user with the ability to share stem, log and cant data files between systems. Reports are also seamless between systems to assist the user in detailed analysis.

RT3 Simulators provide the user to run off-line simulations remotely to determine what effects parameter changes (price, target size, kerf, product mix, etc.) have on value, recovery and resulting lumber mix without actually processing the timber. The user may run simulations on a single piece or a whole shift and the results can be view in report form and/or graphically.
