If you own a Woodland Mills HM130MAX or HM136MAX sawmill with the Power Head 110 attachment, you can easily bring your mill to a new level of precision and comfort.
The Mikron Computer Setworks is a truly plug-and-play solution — no modifications, no complex wiring, and no need for special tools.
SPRT-500 Sensor Setup
Start by mounting the SPRT-500 sensor on top of your sawhead. Attach the cable ring to the part of the sawhead that moves up and down — this allows the sensor to track movement with high precision.
The kit includes everything you need: brackets, bolts, so installation is quick and straightforward. The sensor cable uses an industrial plug-and-play connector, making it easy to connect securely — even for first-time installers.
Built from durable metal, the SPRT-500 features a sealed industrial housing that protects it from vibration, dust, and moisture. It’s designed specifically for sawmill environments, ensuring accurate and reliable performance for years.
Focus on Cutting — Not on Calculating
Stop making the math in your head or relying on inaccurate scales.
The computer setworks automatically moves your sawing head to the exact thickness you select — and you can create precise cutting patterns in seconds.
It’s like using a calculator made for sawyers, but smarter: it doesn’t just calculate — it positions your sawing head automatically for every next cut.
The system automatically includes kerf thickness in all calculations, so you always get consistent, precise results.
With the Mikron Setworks, you’ll enjoy:
Faster, smoother operation
Consistent board thickness
Less waste and fewer manual errors
More comfort and control
Increased yield from almost every log
More enjoyable work — focus on cutting, not measuring
Freedom to cut any thickness you need for special orders
100% Compatible — No Modifications Needed
The kit connects directly to your existing Power Head 110 lifting motor — no mechanical changes required.
Everything comes pre-wired and ready to go:
One wire for the battery power (12 VDC)
One wire with a special connector for the lifting motor — simply unplug it from the manual up/down switch and plug it into the computer setworks
The SPRT-500 sensor, connected via an industrial plug-and-play connector
That’s all it takes.
The installation is straightforward, quick, and reliable — you can easily do it yourself, even without electrical experience.
All components are housed in IP67-rated enclosures, so the computer setworks remains protected from rain, sawdust, and outdoor conditions.
Computer Setworks For Woodland Mills Sawmills with Any Lifting Motor
Even if your sawmill doesn’t have the original Power Head 110 attachment, you can still upgrade it with a Mikron Setworks. If you’ve added a DC lifting motor, an electric winch, or any similar lifting system, you can install the Universal computer setworks (SW-350-PRO) — it’s compatible with nearly any lifting configuration.

And if your mill is still manual — no worries.
You can start using the computer setworks in manual mode, and once you add a lifting motor later, simply switch to automatic mode in the settings.
This flexibility makes the Mikron system ideal for almost any Woodland Mills sawmill, from compact to professional setups.
