In this video we take things a step further, picking up a large truss from the bottom chord, leaving it hanging upside down. Even with the unusual orientation, the robotic system handles it with stability and precision. This demonstration shows the versatility of automation in truss movement, proving that even non-standard picks are possible without issue.

This one-story modular manufacturing facility is a streamlined, centralized hub dedicated to the efficient production of fully automated walls, floors, and ceilings for modular construction. Inside, advanced robotics and automation systems handle assembly, ensuring high-quality precision and consistency across every component. By consolidating operations in a single location, this facility allows workers to benefit from a stable work environment, eliminating the need to move between job sites daily.

Beyond improved workforce satisfaction, this setup enhances inventory management, with materials consistently stocked and monitored on-site, reducing delays. Production management and planning are optimized through integrated systems that track workflow, predict needs, and ensure seamless operation from start to finish. This facility stands as a comprehensive solution to modular construction, balancing automation with a consistent workspace to drive productivity, quality, and worker satisfaction.

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.

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.

The mobile rebar tying system is a cutting-edge, containerized solution designed to streamline the construction of rebar cages directly on-site. Upon delivery in a standard container, this robust system is delivered onsite for operation, providing a self-contained, automated assembly line for tying rebar members with precision. It utilizes advanced robotic arms and sensors to accurately tie rebar intersections, eliminating manual tying, which significantly reduces worker strain and the risk of injury. With its efficient workflow and high-speed processing, this mobile system enhances construction site safety and productivity, allowing for faster cage assembly and enabling workers to focus on higher-value tasks. The result is a seamlessly integrated, safer, and more efficient process for rebar cage fabrication that reduces downtime and improves overall site safety.

From above, you can see the cable robot perform three different truss movements in one seamless sequence:

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

The overhead angle highlights the smooth flow of each move, the precision of placement, and the adaptability of the system as it transitions between truss sizes and destinations. This perspective shows how automation can bring order, efficiency, and reliability to truss handling in the plant.
