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!
Higher Throughput
Keep production moving faster with the automated jigging system. The result is more output across every shift.
Consistent Quality
Achieve accurate, repeatable nailplate placement on every truss. That means dependable results and greater confidence in the finished product.
Safer Workflow
Reduce manual handling and create a safer, less physically demanding production environment. It’s a smarter way to support both your team and your productivity.
