摘要:
A method off automatically placing pucks on a truss assembly table (100) includes the steps of receiving input regarding the truss assembly table and a truss to be assembled on the truss assembly table (100), and processing the input. Locations on the truss assembly table for each puck (130) are selected based on the processed input that optimizes the overall support given to the truss. The pucks (130) are automatically moved to their selected locations.
摘要:
An automated board processing system and the corresponding processes that receives job orders comprising a needed set of specifically sized boards cut to specified lengths for assembly into components such as wall structures, roof trusses or other trusses. The system and processes expediently processes a series of boards from board feeding portion (26) comprising individually selected magazines or other board sources to convey, measure, mark and/or saw same with optimal mechanical simplicity and efficiency thereby completing the job order. A control processor (20.1) receives the job order and controls operation of the plurality of magazines or other board sources, the conveying, the measuring, the marking, the sawing, and the replenishment of the board sources in the board feeding portion.
