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.

The Avalon Robotics Door Picking System is an intelligent robotic solution designed to select and organize doors directly from storage racks, enhancing operational efficiency and flexibility. This system identifies, selects, and arranges doors according to the specific sequence required for production or installation.
With advanced recognition and handling technology, the Door Picking System carefully lifts and organizes doors into a precise order, ready for the next stages of production. By streamlining the picking and stacking process, it ensures that doors are accessible in the correct order, reducing production delays and improving workflow. This automation minimizes manual handling, lowers the risk of door damage, and supports a more organized and efficient manufacturing environment.

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.

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.

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.

The Avalon Robotics Door Trim Assembly System is an advanced robotic solution designed to receive framed doors from a KVAL system and seamlessly automate the trim application process. Upon receiving the framed door, the system carefully picks and places pre-cut trim pieces along the frame, ensuring accurate alignment to meet strict quality standards.
Using precision sensors, the Door Trim Assembly System performs a fine alignment to guarantee each trim piece is positioned correctly. Once aligned, the system securely nails the trim to the door frame with high accuracy, achieving a consistent, professional finish. By automating the trim installation, this system reduces manual labor, increases throughput, and maintains high levels of consistency across every door produced, making it an essential asset for efficient and quality-focused door manufacturing environments.
