Logmatic Machining Centre is developed especially
for log house manufacturers who appreciate good
9. quality and high output & added value.

Logmatic meets all demands for the modern log house

manufacturing. The design is modular and compact,
Cross cutting
however, the features are very diversified. The machine
can be equipped to meet demands of every log house
manufacturer.

Sturdy construction, best quality components and

modern CAD/CAM control system together with the
versatile machining features and good ergonomy
secure high performance for long to the future.

units combined with the smart raw material
optimization features ensure high end product quality
and productiveness.

Logmatic is the heart of a high capacity production

line. Depending on the customers requirements and
on the available factory space, suitable equipment for
log feeding, discharging and packaging may be
included in the final configuration.

log milling unit corner notching
can be performed to round log
profiles as well.

Different types of drillings are
performed by the moving upper
and lower drill units. Fast and
accurate movements of the drill
units are achieved by linear servo
motors. The optimization software
takes care that as many as
possible of the drill units work
simultaneously which is essential
for achieving a high capacity.
Drilling
The cross cutting saw cuts the
logs to exact lengths. The
optimization software enables for
processing from one long log
blank multiple shorter logs which
are then separated by this saw.
The saw is equipped with smart
side pushers which also remove
the waste from the saw table.

Logmatic is designed for processing logs with

high capacity. Therefore some machining that
are few in number, are excluded from the
Logmatic machining centre itself. For example,
angular cross cutting and slitting are performed
by a separate saw unit which is integrated to
the Logmatic line.
