The Log Max 5000V is a modern and reliable harvesting head that can handle a wide range of logging challenges. This is the perfect mid-range head for both thinning and nal felling. The head can be equipped with a 82 cm saw bar and has a maximum cutting diameter of 74 cm. It also features Log Max’s multi-stemming MK2, that is agile and lightweight, making thinning work easier. The Log Max 5000V is suitable for those who seek the perfect balance between agility, capacity, and durability.
Quote from test driver Erik Wiik:
“The cutting and feeding are brutally good, and in combination with the new length measuring unit, Log Max becomes unstoppable ; )”
COVER - M i CROTEC Connect
MiCROTEC Connect is the real fingerprint system based on CT-scanned logs. Through the integrated and innovative scanner and software solutions and the implemented MiCROTEC Ai platform, each log can be traced from virtual to real boards.
Likewise, the individual boards can be traced back to their original logs and recognized at each production step without any gaps. This modular concept offers huge benefits for mill-wide value & recovery optimization. www.microtec.us
