Can the trimmer console be removed?
The trimmer operator’s console should remain at its existing location. In the mill pictured at the right, the operator has been replaced by the GMR. While the console is not needed for GMR operation, if the scan head is damaged or the GMR power supply damaged by power surge, the trimmer can be operated in the manual mode until repairs are made. The same logic applies to lumber sorter control consoles. Indeed, certain sorter control functions, such as emergency stop, still need to be available for manual use.
