Patent abstract
A system for measuring the length of a tree being processed through a delimber including a log feed roller mechanism for moving the tree, a delimbing head for delimbing the tree that is movable in a forward and reverse direction relative to the log feed roller mechanism, a measuring wheel resiliently mounted on the delimbing head, and a trimsaw movably mounted on the delimbing head. The length of the processed tree extending beyond the delimbing head may be calculated from signals encoded by the log feed roller mechanism and the measuring wheel. Logs may be cut from the tree by the trimsaw. Two photosensors located at known positions may be used to calculate the total length of the tree.
