The Comact Optimized Length Infeed / Canter / Cetec Twin Bandmill line is a two sided canter designed to produce cants for curve sawing small to medium sized logs. General machine specifications are:

• Maximum feed speed:    600 fpm
• Minimum log size:          3.0"
• Maximum log size:         17" envelope
• Minimum log length:       6' - 4"
• Maximum log length:      20' - 6"
• Log rotation confirmation and continuous correction
• Auto-centering of logs on a special attachment chain
• Multi-axle shifting (''side shift and skew'')
• Multi press rolls every 36 inches
• Improved lumber recovery

• V attachments stabilize the log for scanning and optimization 
• Scanning chain available in single or double chain version
• Scanner and optimization system determine optimum rotation and canter solutions

• Quad roll log turner with split reversible spike segments
• Optimized module for logs from 3'' to 17''
• Rotation standard deviation of +/- 5 degrees
• Preset positioning of rolls with servo cylinders
• Minimum effects of knots and 'flare butt'

• Slew, skew, and offset capability
• Dual centering rolls
• Self-centering of logs by means of a step flight chain
• Multiple overhead pressrolls spaced at 36'' intervals
• Spike rolls feed the log into the canter section
• Lateral shifting by means of servo positioners

• Two sided canter 
• Automatic closed loop strain system for instantaneous response
• Strains - up to 36,000 lbs
• Active saw tracking and wheel tilt
• 48'' through 84'' wheel diameter available
• Single or double cut configurations for carriage applications
• Twin and quad, vertical, horizontal and tilt arrangements
• Double column frame with balanced wheels
• Modular ''cassette'' design that shifts on twin roundways

• Two sided canter 
• Automatic closed loop strain system on bandmill for instantaneous response
• Strains - up to 36,000 lbs
• Active saw tracking and wheel tilt
• 48'' through 84'' wheel diameter available
• Single or double cut configurations for carriage applications
• Twin and quad, vertical, horizontal and tilt arrangements
• Double column frame with balanced wheels
• Modular ''cassette'' design that shifts on twin roundways

• Overhead rolls hold the cant on the sharp chain
• Side tires hold the side boards upright
• Side tires release side boards and drop them to the side board transfer
• Cants are rotated 90 degrees by the turning roll
• A linear positioner is used to shift the turning roll
