Mereen-Johnson Rip Navigator TRACKER Infeed Rip Optimizing System and Model 312-DC/SR2 “Select-A-Rip”™ Multiple Rip Saw for 16' Lumber
Tracker infeed Arranged for manual loading of individual boards onto the infeed of the chains. Chains to convey individual boards to the board stop, across a measuring sensor array and to an automatic adjusting fence in preparation for feeding into the Model 312-DC/SR2. Rip Navigator software uses the board dimensional information to position the automatic adjusting fence and positions the select blades on the Model 312-DC/SR2. Laser Rack mounted laser lights reference the fixed blade positions and select saw actuator mounted laser lights reference the position of the select blades, providing a visual of the rip solution on the board. Operator intervention of the rip solution is through Rip Navigator. Pushbutton control to accept the solution activates lowering the board onto the roll case with driven rolls and lowers the fence mounted upper pinch rolls to feed the board into the gang rip saw. The fence references the boards to the RH (inboard) side of the gang rip saw
