COVER: USNR Edger Systems
LOGGING • SAW
USNR manufactures edger systems for any
application. High-performance transverse and
lineal infeed systems offer fast and accurate
positioning with reliable operation. Consistent
board singulation, aggressive grip on wane-
down boards, closely integrated chains, guides,
and rolls, and air-cushioned hydraulic cylinders,
create a smooth, consistent operation that
minimizes wane-crush and hands-on operator
intervention while insuring accurate pre-
positioning.
Advanced optimization capabilities include
dimension and random width solutions with
trim save options. Software parameters are
configurable for multiple saws and chipper
combinations, chip limit controls, value, and
volume optimization. You can accurately
simulate grading rules with parameters for
cosmetic evaluation, equivalent wane rules, as
well as sophisticated compound wane rules.
