This side-profile view captures the cable robot performing three different movements in one seamless sequence:

Single pick to single place
Single pick to dual places
Single pick with a larger truss

From this angle, you can clearly see the precision, control, and smooth transitions between each motion. The demonstration highlights how automation can handle different truss sizes and placement patterns without interruption, proving its adaptability on the plant floor.

Whether it’s efficiency, safety, or flexibility. this system shows how robotic truss handling can change the way we move material in construction manufacturing.

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.

In this demo, our cable robot takes truss handling a step further. Picking from one position and placing in two different destinations. This flexibility shows how automation can adapt to production needs, streamline workflow, and reduce manual handling risks.

By expanding from a single place to multiple places, we unlock new ways to optimize stacking, staging, and plant layout. Watch as the system demonstrates both precision and adaptability in real-time truss movement.

Installed at a large home improvement retailer, this advanced lumber-picking system brings a new level of convenience and safety to the shopping experience. Using a robotic arm on a guided track, the system efficiently manages and picks lumber stored in a multi-layered racking structure. The racks are designed to hold different sizes and types of lumber—like 2x4x10s and 4x4x6s—on two primary picking layers, with a third layer dedicated to additional storage.

A customer simply selects their desired lumber type and quantity through a digital interface, for example, 10 pieces of 2x4x10 and 2 pieces of 2x12x12. Once selected, they can continue shopping while the system automatically calculates the optimal picking order to ensure a safe, balanced stack. The robot retrieves the requested items, organizes them, and sends the assembled stack through an automatic banding machine, securely preparing the order for pickup.

By the time the customer is ready to leave, their lumber is bundled and ready for easy pickup—eliminating the need for heavy lifting and reducing the risk of injury. This innovative installation at a home improvement retailer enhances shopper safety, saves time, and makes the lumber-buying experience smoother and more efficient.

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.
