Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and method of a sorter and a method for sorting wood pieces and for guiding them to a conveyor. This type of sorter comprises a lower frame, a receiving deck for wood pieces, and a feeder for detaching a wood piece from the receiving deck. Said feeder comprises a controller for supporting the wood piece during movement directed to it and transferring it substantially vertically from the receiving deck. In that case the control means is traversed by at least two bearers controlled by an actuator for producing the vertical movement of the wood piece. The bearers are arranged to project from an outer surface of the controller by an amount of projection that is adjustable during lifting. The feeder further comprises a measuring unit for detecting a wood piece of a given diameter (e.g., the largest or larger cross-sectional diameter) on the bearers and for controlling the projection of the bearers to a position corresponding to this given diameter.
