In this video, watch a state-of-the-art cable robot in action as it effortlessly picks and organizes trusses, placing them neatly into stacks. Our innovative Truss Stacker system is designed for optimal efficiency, enabling precise handling and sorting of trusses to build multiple stacks seamlessly. This powerful technology maximizes workflow by reducing manual handling and enhancing safety, making the truss stacking process faster and more reliable than ever. Experience the future of construction automation and see how our cable robot is setting new standards in productivity and organization on the job site.

In this demo, we show the cable robot picking stock from different bunk lengths and placing them onto a simulated linear saw infeed. Even without a physical saw in place, the concept demonstrates how automation can streamline the process, reduce manual handling, and keep material flowing efficiently.

Avalon Robotics explores how cable-driven automation can transform truss plant operations, improving safety and productivity.

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.

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.

What happens when the truss gets bigger? This video shows our cable robot lifting and placing a larger truss from a single pick point to a single place point. Even with heavier, oversized components, the system delivers smooth, accurate, and reliable motion.

By demonstrating how the robot handles larger trusses, we highlight the scalability of automated truss movement reducing strain on workers while improving efficiency and safety in the plant.

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.
