Mereen-Johnson will present its Rip Navigator 3.5 at IWF, which combines the capability of a full-featured computer rip-optimizing system with the flexibility of a fully integrated manual control set.

In the past, rip-optimizing systems only provided an either/or option for manufactures. Either run in computer-controlled optimizing mode or switch to manual control allowing an operator to use their skill sets to determine the best rip solution for each board, according to the company.

Rip Navigator 3.5 combines the capabilities of the computer system with human senses and skill sets resulting in improved yield, increased production reporting accuracy, higher value output, greater production efficiencies and flexibility.
