Avalon Robotics’ innovative concept for preplating webs in open web floor trusses. This overview delves into the proven preplating process, offering insights into how it enhances efficiency and streamlines truss manufacturing. Learn about the steps, benefits, and potential applications of this automation concept, designed to optimize workflows and revolutionize the construction industry.

The Door Frame Assembly Cell is a robotic system designed to streamline and automate the assembly of interior door trim, specifically for mounting the inside trim pieces against which the door closes in the frame. This cell precisely positions and secures the trim components onto the door frame, ensuring accurate alignment and consistency across assemblies. Equipped with a router, the system efficiently cuts and finishes door striker holes to meet specified measurements and alignment, readying the door for secure locking and optimal functionality.

After completing each door frame assembly, the robotic cell automatically transfers the finished product to a dedicated stacking area, where it carefully places each frame on a transport cart. This stacking mechanism is engineered for stability and easy cart removal, minimizing downtime and expediting transportation to the next production stage. The Door Frame Assembly Cell is designed to boost productivity, quality, and safety by eliminating manual handling, reducing potential errors, and ensuring consistent, precise construction in each assembled door frame.

In this advanced setup, the delivery conveyors for preplated roof members are positioned exclusively above the outfeed rollers, creating an efficient, streamlined workflow. This configuration provides a clear, uninterrupted path for completed trusses to be slid onto the outfeed rollers while new, preplated members are delivered directly to the assembly tables. By utilizing only the space above the outfeed rollers, the system maximizes floor space, reducing congestion around the assembly area and freeing up valuable space within the facility.

This overhead delivery solution not only improves workflow efficiency but also enhances safety by maintaining organized pathways around the tables. The clear division of incoming and outgoing material flows allows operators to work faster and more effectively, enabling a continuous and efficient cycle of truss production without compromising workspace.

Complete LGS Panel Line | Framing, Blocking & Sheathing Stations in Action
Step into the future of light gauge steel construction with this full walkthrough of a complete LGS panel line. From precision framing to integrated blocking and automated sheathing, this video showcases every station along the line — including all conveyance systems that keep production flowing. Whether you’re in modular construction, prefab, or panelized building, this system offers a clear look at how automation can streamline structural panel production from start to finish.

This onsite wall panel system revolutionizes residential framing by using robotics to assemble wall panels directly at the construction site. The system arrives in three 40-foot containers, delivered by semis and set up on the ground, creating a compact, efficient onsite factory. By building panels on location, this system eliminates the high costs and logistical challenges of transporting bulky, pre-fabricated wall panels from an offsite facility.

Once set up, a single operator controls the automated assembly process, guiding the robots as they cut, position, and fasten each panel with precision. This streamlined setup improves the quality and consistency of each wall panel, reducing errors and rework. As panels are completed, they are quickly moved to their installation points using a telehandler, which allows for smooth, efficient delivery within the site. This innovative approach not only accelerates the framing process but also provides significant cost savings and ensures high-quality framing tailored precisely to each build, redefining speed and efficiency in residential construction.

The roof member preplate system is a highly efficient, containerized solution for precision nail plate placement in truss manufacturing. Housed within a 40-foot container, this automated system is designed for quick setup in a manufacturing facility. Equipped with robotic arms that pick nail plates from organized bins, the system accurately places and attaches each plate on roof members according to exact specifications. This precision in placement allows for smaller, appropriately sized nail plates to be used, reducing overall steel usage and lowering material costs without compromising structural integrity.

Once the members are preplated, they are batched together according to each truss before being delivered to the assembly tables. This ensures that all necessary components for a specific truss arrive together, streamlining the assembly process and reducing handling time for operators. By organizing components in advance, the system enhances production flow and efficiency, setting a new standard in component fabrication for truss manufacturing.
