    摘要: An apparatus for processing logs includes a conveyor for conveying a log in the apparatus, a chipping canter, which comprises two chipping head assemblies for chipping the opposite sides of a log, and a saw, which comprises at least two circular blades for sawing the log on at least one side. The chipping head assemblies are installed on different shafts than the circular blades. The circular blades of a saw are situated before the chipping canter in the conveying direction of a log and are arranged to, before chipping, partly or completely saw off from the log the parts of the log that are to be chipped with the chipping head assemblies.

    摘要: In a method for operating a sawline for logs, the sawline including a conveyor for conveying a log in the sawline, and a processing apparatus for processing the log, the log is fed into the sawline, the log is conveyed onwards in the longitudinal direction in the sawline, the overall length of the log is determined, and the log is guided into the processing apparatus, with which the log is processed at the same time, when the log is conveyed onwards in the sawline. The length of the part of the log that is outside the processing apparatus is determined with a camera apparatus, and the location of the end of the log in the processing apparatus is determined on the basis of the overall length of the log and on the basis of the length of the part of the log that is outside the processing apparatus.
