The new head's greatest advantages are its quality and durability, which together ensure high uptime. The frame and the two saw units are sturdy, the hood and hose protection have been improved, and the hydraulics are very reliable. Servicing has also been made easier. All in all, this means a long service life with ease of maintenance.
The new Komatsu C202E has many options, which means the head can be tailored to many different needs. For example, the head can be equipped with a sprocket, saw bar, and chain for .404" or for ¾ pitch chain. The vertical knife can be order with a skid tip to follow crooked stems more closely. A feed system with no roller offset for non-debarking is also an option.
The MaxiXplorer control system provides the operator with improved functionality by allowing different switch positions via the computer, it automatically takes care of everything from the ADC - feed wheel traction control, knife pressures, to length and diameter measurements.
