AccuLift Commander
Universal Sawmill Powerhead Controller with Readout & Automation
The AccuLift Commander is a standalone lift controller designed to work with a wide variety of sawmill power lift systems. It adds smart automation and a digital height readout to your existing lift motor or can be paired with one of our lift motors for a complete setup.
Simply connect your motor, bolt on the encoder, wire it to a 12 V power source, and you're ready to cut with precision.
Key Features
Digital Height Readout
Always know your exact cut position with an easy-to-read digital display.
Bunk Distance Readout
Displays how far the sawhead is from the bunk, making it ideal for cutting beams and large cants.
Yield Awareness (Board Count Display)
Instantly shows how many boards remain below the blade at the selected bump distance, automatically factoring in kerf between cuts. This helps reduce guesswork during breakdown planning and maximize lumber yield from every log.
Kerf Compensation
Automatically adjusts measurements for blade width. Kerf offset is fully user-adjustable through the settings menu.
Slack Compensation
Corrects for cable stretch or lift slack when lowering the sawhead. Adjustable in the settings for fine-tuning accuracy.
Go-To Bumping Function
Quickly return to zero or move the sawhead in precise, repeatable increments.
Press Go-To + Zero to return to your zero point.
Press Go-To + Up/Down to move the head in preset or custom increments.
Heavy-Duty Relay Control
The Commander relay system can handle lift motors drawing up to 75 amps, making it compatible with a wide range of sawmill lift motors and heavy-duty applications.
Simple Setup
Plug-and-Play Motor Control
Connect your lift motor using the included spade terminals.
Universal Encoder Mount
A clip-on recoil encoder mounts easily to your sawhead for accurate movement tracking.
12 V Operation
Runs from a standard 12 V battery (not included).
Whether you're retrofitting an older sawmill or upgrading a newer one, the AccuLift Commander brings precision, convenience, and consistency to every cut.
