The Avalon Robotics Linear Saw Infeed System is a robust and versatile solution tailored for high-efficiency linear saws such as the Alpine ALS, Mitek Blade, Hundegger, and Vekta. This system uses advanced conveyance technology to move bunks of lumber, varying in size, to designated pick positions. With a single loading position, operators can easily place bunks onto the conveyor, simplifying the loading process.

Once in place, a cable robot quickly and accurately picks multiple pieces of lumber from the pick positions and delivers them directly to the saw infeed. This efficient transfer and handling system minimizes manual intervention, speeds up the loading process, and ensures a continuous and steady supply of materials to the saw. The Linear Saw Infeed System enhances productivity, reduces handling time, and maintains a streamlined flow of lumber, making it an ideal choice for automated and high-output production environments.

In this video, we take a closer look at the cable robot concept. Join me for a walkaround as I explain what it is, how it works, and why it could change the way truss plants handle material.

This explainer provides the big-picture view: safer handling, automated saw loading, and scalable automation designed to fit real manufacturing environments.

Watch our cable robot in action as it performs a simple truss move. Picking from a single position and placing in a single destination. This demonstration shows the foundation of automated truss handling: precise, reliable, and efficient. By starting with a single pick and single place, we can build up to more complex stacking and sorting operations that transform how trusses are moved in the plant.

If you’re interested in how automation can reshape truss handling and material flow, this is the perfect starting point. Stay tuned for the next videos in this series, where we explore multi-pick, multi-place, and advanced stacking strategies.

Watch our orchard harvesting system in action — combining an industrial cable robot and a robotic arm to pick, sort, and manage fruit directly in the orchard. Faster. Smarter.

Watch as we move a massive 30ft truss with ease using a single pick and single place setup. This video shows the precision, strength, and reliability of our robotic truss handling system—designed to make even the largest trusses manageable. Perfect for showcasing how automation can handle heavy lifting in the component manufacturing industry.

This video takes the cable robot concept further, adding a full simulation to show the complete proposed application. From picking stock out of mixed bunk lengths to placing it on a simulated linear saw infeed, this demo highlights how the system can remove manual handling and improve efficiency in real-world truss plants.

Concept simulations like this help visualize the future of automation in component manufacturing.
