RT³ Face Checker measures actual opening faces produced by primary breakdown machines and compares them in real-time to those predicted by the primary breakdown optimizer. Using predicted and actual cant face and log geometry data, RT³ Face Checker detects and reports on the results of mechanical and control shortcomings. This method produces significantly more comparison data than traditional “hand measurement methods” allowing timely intervention should process parameters exceed mill-configurable alarming limits improving lumber recovery and value and machine performance.
