The invention relates to the creation of a control device capable of assessing the quality of tree trunks by a method which does not involve their damage. This is useful for identifying and deciding which trees are healthy and which are affected by various structural problems and need to be cut down. The mechanical ultrasonic device for controlling the quality of the standing shafts, according to the invention, consists of: impact head, active part of the impact head (changes after wear), drive unit (electric motor plus transmission mechanism), four acoustic sensors, sliding sensors, shaft strap, circumference adjustment mechanism, control circuit box and power supply, connectors, tablet with evaluation software, evaluation software.
