Abstract: A method for creating a cutting plan for a strip-like material for maximizing a quality yield of the process is invented. In the method a cutting plan for a strip-like material is made based on end-product data, and the strip-like material is driven at a production speed in a manufacturing machine or in a finishing machine, and strip length data is recorded. A chart of the strip-like material characteristics is generated and stored in a memory. The recorded strip length data and the chart of the strip-like material characteristics is calibrated with calibration data in a winding process, and during a set change in the winding process the cutting plan for the strip-like material is optimized for maximizing a quality yield of the process based on the end-product data and the calibrated chart of the strip-like material characteristics, and a revised cutting plan is created from the optimization result.

Abstract: A timber harvester includes a scissors-like frame component including opposing segments with a common joint, a fork-shaped tilting device, a saw device installed at the rear end of the harvester, opposing tree feed devices installed on both of the aforementioned segments, articulated lower delimbing blades driven by an operating device, and at least one upper delimbing blade supported by at least one segment. The upper delimbing blade is secured, with the aid of the first and second sliding members from both segments so that the first sliding members include, in both segments, a linear guide that lies generally in the direction of the segment itself, and slides adapted to the linear guide in the upper delimbing blade. The second sliding members including at least one joint in the upper delimbing blade of the nearest slide, and at least one curved guide in one segment, the second sliding members being arranged to prevent the twisting of the upper delimbing blade.
