Tree Tomography

The ARBOTOM® is a novel impulse tomography unit that enables an inside view of condition of trees and round wood. Hidden decay, invisible cavities and cracks and how large they become visible with ARBOTOM® using sound impulses.

Applications

• Determining the safety of trees
• Measuring the wood quality of trunks and round wood

Properties and advantages

• Precise localization of defects in trees and round wood
• Tree-friendly because virtually non-destructive
• Easy-to-understand tomography presentation of the measured results
• Easy and accurate damage assessment
• Quick evaluation directly on location
• Simple handling, optionally via a miniature PC or a notebook computer
• Two- or three-dimensional measurements of the internal condition of trees and subsequent display, also in case of larger tree diameters
• The weakest zones and the areas with the lowest residual wall thickness of the tree are detected with the help of sensors (typically 6-24).
