This new type of machine has been designed to grant a rapid and accurate centering of log, whatever its taper may be. Its main features are listed below:

Log clamping through hydraulic cylinders having 2 selectable closing pressures.

Double hydraulic pad for hook projection adjustment on 3 fixed positions.

Completely independent headblocks, driven by Brushless motors, without electromagnetic brake, with high-precision rack and pinion and slack recovery

Headblock sliding blocks are built with interchangeable wear components.

Positionings and working cycles are achieved by an electronic programmable equipment, with possibility of optimisation.

Log turning device with independent arms mounted on each headblock, controlled separately or simultaneously, with possibility to exclude the arms unused. Hydraulic lifting with arm inclination up to 90°. Rotation through hydraulic motor; by request through electric motor.

Centralized and completely automized lubrication.

Hydrostatic feed, with rope drive and foot control lever. A remarkable acceleration is achieved thanks to the headrig main motor power: this also ensures the highest production capacity and a worthwhile energy saving.

By request, double arm hydraulic log turning device.
