CAMERON AUTOMATION | RIP ONE SYSTEM

A Complete Lumber Scanning, Optimization, and Gang Ripping Work Cell designed for Medium and Small Shops.

The Rip One System is Cameron Automation’s newest rip system. The Rip-One is an entire lumber scanning, optimizing, and gang ripping work cell designed for the smaller shop. The Rip-One uses high resolution scanning technology to view both sides of a board to capture board dimensions and defects. The high  resolution images are used to optimize each and every board going through the system. It also increases productivity dramatically by transforming gang ripping into a single person operation.
