Centering, turning and positioning of logs.
Centering, turning and positioning of logs.
The LogControl ZE3 is the core component of modern reducing band saw and reducing circular saw technology. It handles the centering, turning and positioning of logs to optimally prepare the sawing process.
Using 3D measurement and intelligent software, the system detects curvature, taper, and shape, aligning each log with millimeter precision.
The integrated TrueSpin system monitors rotation in real time and ensures maximum accuracy during the cut.
With automated centering, precise turning rollers and flexible cutting strategies, the ZE3 guaran-tees maximum efficiency. Whether asymmetrical cutting patterns or complex production processes – the machine makes optimal use of every log.

Seamlessly integrated into modern sawmill processes
With TrueSpin by Microtec, state-of-the-art scanning technology enters the sawmill. Using 3D ste-reoscopy, the system captures the log and delivers a precise analysis of shape, rotation, and qua-lity. Even the smallest deviations are detected and corrected in real time, ensuring optimal cutting accuracy. TrueSpin ensures maximum utilization of raw material while minimizing losses. Thanks to intelligent software, the collected data is seamlessly integrated into the production process. The result is a fully digital process chain that increases efficiency, transparency, and operational safety in the sawmill.
With TrueSpin, precision is not only measured – it is guaranteed.
TrueSpin – developed to meet the highest demands in reducing band saw and reducing circular saw technology.
