MaxiHarvester 3.10, Valmet`s new software suite for harvesters, features a refined method for calculating trunk volumes. When the head measures trunk diameters, it begins where the upper knives are located, about 4`3” (1.3 m) from the felling cut. As a result, the system must estimate the shape of the tree down to the cut. In MaxiHarvester 3.10, the shape is determined using a data file that can be fed into the system`s spp file. “The mill can decide the shape template to be imported into the crosscutting system,” explains Per Annemalm, Product Manager at Komatsu Forest. “This is one of the most extensive upgrades we`ve made, making it possible to deliver a great deal more information directly from the harvester to forestry company business systems.”
New MaxiHead 3.10 for harvesting heads sold separately offers many new functions. A major new feature is the option to select the PC1012 hardware package, which includes a Windows PC with a 12" display, a 1 GHz processor, and a 40 GB hard disk. If this is selected, then Valmet`s Windows applications, such as MaxiA, MaxiP, MaxiD, and MaxiGIS, can also be used. MaxiHead 3.10 also supports feet and inches display for length and diameter measurements in operating mode. For improved delimbing or barking of the root end of the rootstock there`s a new function which - without operator intervention - feeds the log back a little before forward feeding begins. Other improvements are increases in the maximum number of assortments in a crosscutting file to 15 and of permitted length and diameter classes to 64. This enables the harvester to crosscut more assortments using a single crosscutting file.
