Automatic log processing apparatus and method

摘要: Apparatus for processing a log after scanning dimensionally by feeding the along longitudinal axis through cutting means mounted adjacent axis. The apparatus has carriage on rails movement parallel to axis, and clamp which clamps side faces thereof into means. orienting structure cooperating with move relative re-position in desired orientation accordance scanned dimensions. device initially cuts lower datum face of supports forward end when released from respective clamp, then two engage guides prevent rotation release clamp.
