Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography (CT)

"For the sawmill of the future" - It has always been the dream of sawmillers to know what’s inside a log before sawing... With CT Log, MiCROTEC has made this dream come true.

See what’s inside a log before sawing

Full digital log reconstruction and virtual grading for true value optimization in the bucking and sawing processes

Optimize products for value rather than volume

Computed Tomography scans and digitally reconstructs the internal features of logs, allowing the assessment of the optimal cutting solution in real time

"Saw from the inside out"

Size and position of internal wood defects can be accurately described in all three dimensions

The digital log

Using the internal defects, CT Log evaluates appearance, quality, and strength properties, and assesses their impact on the final products before the physical breakdown of the log. Sawing and bucking solutions are continuously optimized based on the highest quality and resale, allowing production to be managed according to real-time priorities

Cut on demand

⤫ 100% optimal cutting solution based on the highest value of final products

⤫ Increased value in every sawn log compared to any other breakdown solution

⤫ Maximization of lumber recovery quality that significantly increases revenues & resale value
