Chop Saw Optimizing Software and Machine Upgrades: This system was designed by Dawson Controls in cooperation with Grecon Dimter to replace the obsolete Intel 8086 based computer systems that were supplied with the pre - 1995 Grecon optimizing saws, and also replaces the later VME bus computer systems. It was also designed to be able to run any known optimizing saw that's on the market.

RIP-SCAN Software and Machine Upgrades: The Dawson Controls RIP-SCAN system was developed to fill the need for a cost effective ripsaw scanning system that will either retrofit an existing system or can be fitted to a new installation. The flexibility of the Dawson Controls RIP-SCAN system will allow you to customize our system to meet your production needs.

Scanners and Machine Vision Systems: We currently have two low cost vision based width measuring systems for the chop saw optimizing software; Width-Scan, and Laser-Scan. Wane detection and board profiling for both chop and rip systems. We are also currently working on a low cost four side ChopSawScanner system, offering full defect scanning, that should be available by the end of the year.
