PALLET COMPONENT PRODUCTION LINE
The integrated line combines state-of-the-art technologies to cover the entire processing cycle: from raw log reception and handling to primary breakdown, edging, multi-rip sawing, and final cross-cutting for the production of wood components and packaging (pallet elements). Thanks to the adoption of advanced fieldbuses (such as IO-Link and protocols compliant with Industry 4.0 directives), the entire plant ensures high performance, real-time diagnostics, and reduced downtime.
