IML Measuring Table
The growth behaviour of trees provides important information about climatic circumstances and temporary or persistent changes of the environmental conditions. In order to correctly identify and measure the annual rings of trees with small growth, every detail of the processing and evaluation is important.
The IML Measuring Table is designed for tree ring analysis, determination of growth rates on increment cores and stem discs. The rugged Measuring Table is splash water proof and supports wood samples with up to 20 kg of weight.

Increment Borer
Read moreIncrement borer help to test the wood quality and the rate of growth of trees. They are manufactured with sturdy special steel and are Teflon-coated to avoid frictional heat (important when the increment borer is used to inspect standing / sap conducting trees.) Given the damage caused to the tree, the extraction of a core …

Tree Motion Sensors
Read moreThe Tree Motion Sensors (TMS) are used to measure the real dynamic sway motion of trees in natural winds. The TMS are tilt-meters that are attached to the base of the tree – similar to the static load test – in order to measure the tilt of the root plate. The TMS tilt data shows the actual …
