Minimum Yield % - If the board being evaluated cannot be ripped with a yield higher
than this value, the board will be positioned such that it will be edged with the rst (or
optionally last) saw.
Rip For - This can be set to either Value or Required. When set to Value, the
Opti-Rip will use the value associated with each rip width to determine the most
valuable solution. When set to Required, the Opti-Rip will automatically adjust rip
values in order to attempt to achieve the required amounts of each rip. Values are
adjusted automatically as the job is processed.
Number of Rip Widths - The number of rip widths that will be entered in the table
below.
Board Skewing - This determines how boards are skewed. When set to No
Skewing, solutions are calculated on the non-skewed positions of the board.
When set to Show Skewed Solution, solutions are calculated based on what can
be achieved if the boards are skewed by hand. When set to Automatic Skewing,
solutions are based on what can be achieved if the boards are skewed, and the
skewing is performed automatically (assuming the machine is equipped with Auto-
Skew.)
Piece Count / Lineal Feet / Board Feet - This offers the choice of displaying the
tallies and required quantities of ripped widths on the operation screen as either
piece count, lineal feet, or board feet.
Width - The widths of the ripped stock that the machine will produce during this
setup. For rip saws with movable blades, you may enter a random range. For
example, entering "2-4" in the width eld will allow the machine to produce any size
of rip between 2" and 4" in order to maximize yield.
Value - The relative value of each ripped stock width in $/MBF. Opti-Rip will
incorporate these values in calculating the most valuable ripping solution. If all
values are equal Opti-Rip will calculate the solution resulting with the highest yield.
Required- The target quantities desired for each ripped width displayed as either a
piece count or lineal footage depending upon the Display Lineal setting.
Reference - An optional description or reference number for each rip.
Rip Width Table
The table at the bottom of the "Edit Setup" screen contains a list of desired rips. For xed
arbor saws, this table also indicates the arbor conguration. The rst line represents the
pocket furthest in on the saw arbor. A single width will show up multiple times in the list if
that width pocket is on the arbor in multiple places.
