SILVATECH UNIVERSAL SET CONTROLLER   

The Silvatech Universal Set Controller was developed for carriages with a set shaft to enable a sawyer to produce more accurately sized lumber faster, and with less effort than was previously possible.  It controls the existing set drive whether an electric, hydraulic or air motor to make accurate sets and to enable the sawyer to saw down to an accurately sized cant or dogboard without calculating starting position or jogging.  It includes two axis position memory for sawing around grade logs or storing frequently used sequences of pieces.   

Typical increase in volume yield compared to a setshaft carriage with a cam setworks: 3 – 4 % (30,000 – 40,000 extra bd ft of lumber per million feet of logs sawed).   

SILVATECH HYDRAULIC LINEAR POSITIONER SET CONTROLLER 

The Silvatech Hydraulic Linear Positioner Set Controller was developed for carriages with a linear positioner cylinder on each knee.   It can be purchased with a new linear carriage from most manufacturers or Silvatech can retro-fit most existing carriages with the cylinders and hydraulics.  It includes the features of the Universal Set Controller plus much higher knee speed, even higher accuracy, and easier, faster and more precise tapering.  

Typical increase in volume yield compared to a setshaft carriage with a cam setworks: 5 – 6 % (50,000 – 60,000 extra bd ft of lumber per million feet of logs sawed). 

SILVATECH ELECTRIC LINEAR POSITIONER SET CONTROLLER 

The Silvatech Electric Linear Positioner Set Controller utilizes an electric servo motor on each knee.   Like the hydraulic version, it can be purchased with a new carriage or the motors can be retro-fitted.

Typical increase in volume yield compared to a setshaft carriage with a cam setworks: 5 – 6 % (50,000 – 60,000 extra bd ft of lumber per million feet of logs sawed). 

SILVATECH SCANNER SYSTEM 

            The Silvatech Scanning System is available as an option to either the hydraulic or electric Linear Positioner Set Controller.   The unmatched versatility of the system covers a wide range of assistance, from basic help in opening faces to determining the complete sawing pattern for a log. This versatility allows the sawyer do exactly what he wants to get the most profit from each log he saws as quickly as possible.  

Typical increase in volume yield compared to a linear carriage without a scanner: 5% (50,000 extra bd ft of lumber per million feet of logs sawed).  In hardwood this increase is typically all 1C & btr.

SILVATECH TALLY SYSTEM / TRIMMER CONTROL / SORTER CONTROL

             The Silvatech Tally System measures each piece of lumber for length, width and thickness, displays the dimensions, including surface measure, to the operator,  accepts operator inputs for grade or grade and color and keeps a tally of all lumber processed.  The system can control a marking device to put sort codes or grade marks on the boards for manual sorting on a green chain or, if the system includes the Sorter Control option, it also controls a sorter to drop the boards into the proper bins.  It informs the operator and yardman when the pack target amount for a sort is reached and prints one or more tags with all pertinent information for the pack.  A complete shift report is also produced.
