Auto Press

Key Features

Main Points

• Fully automated press and stacking line for manufacturing roof trusses.
• Capability to press and stack a ‘standard’ roof truss in less than 120 seconds.
• Reduce setup time with full auto jigging and overhead laser system allowing a complete setup in approx. 60 seconds.
• Machine can output 750+ trusses a week.
• Half labour costs compared to any like for like manual machine.
• Machine has full auto, teach and go and manual modes giving it the ability to press any job with or without truss design files.

Gantry

• Two automated press heads to maximise production time.
• 47 Tonne pressing capacity per cylinder
• Extra large press platens to cover the largest nail plates.
• Full 360 degree safety scanning system.
• Integrated cctv system to maximise visibility of pressing area to the operator.
• Three axis servo and hydraulic motion for precision machine control. 

Tables

• Capability to manufacture up to 5m high truss with no limit on truss length.
• Six servo driven automated pucks per table.
• Two automated ejectors per table with powered transfer rollers and full cover plates to maximise pressing area.
• Truss can be ejected in any direction to suit production requirements.
• Multiple threaded holes on top bed to allow extra internal manual jigging as required.
• Full safety scanning round whole machine during use.

Software

• State of the art windows based software with the capability to read a wide range of truss design files to fully control auto jigging and press sequence through a 32 inch touchscreen.
• Drag and drop setup for truss positioning on the press bed allowing setup to be completed in minutes.
• Ability to load multiple design files maximising number of trusses that can be manufactured.
• Dedicated 24/7 software support. 

Stacker

• Fully automated stacking system
• Stacks directly onto truss trolley.
• Can stack virtually any truss or girder design.
• Fully enclosed personnel free stacking zone.
• Automated end stop to centralise truss on the trolley.
• Can stack range of truss designs including attics, raised ties, monos and finks.
• Can stack up to 27 trusses on the trolley depending on truss size and timber thickness.
