The GlideAway is a fully automated nailplate positioning and pressing machine used in the production of prefabricated trusses. Trusses are jigged and stapled on steel tables before the horizontal powered ejection system moves them onto the transfer rollers and into the staging bay, ready for processing through the press head. The robot selects the correct nailplate for the joint of the truss and places it in position (correct location and orientation) on the press head. The head presses nailplates in place and continues the same process for all joints of the truss. Once completed, the truss is transported to the Finishing Roller for final embedment of the nailplates.
The GlideAway - automated truss production system, helps you produce more trusses with less effort. Designed for continuous, uninterrupted production. It’s scalable and configurable so suits many factory layouts!
