Spring is here and that means we’re nearly half-way through this year’s project to compare available manufacturing equipment for our industry.
Each month as I visit manufacturers’ websites, I learn something. Then, we also send a draft copy of the chart I’ve compiled to the manufacturers listed on it, so they have an opportunity to provide additional information or corrections if they choose to do so.
I’m continuing to use the schedule of comparisons that I set out in the December issue. The months are as follows.
Schedule of Comparisons:
January Floor Truss Roller Press
February Floor Truss Chord Splicers & Floor Truss Finish Rollers
March Floor Truss Stackers
April Roof Truss Stackers, Vertical & Horizontal
May Roof Truss Gantry Systems
June Roof Truss Tables, Roof Truss Conveyors, Roof Truss Ejection Methods, Roof Truss Finish Rollers & Roof Truss Jack Tables
July Roof Truss Automated Jigging
August Wall Panel Framing Stations & Wall Panel Plate Marking Systems
September Wall Panel Sheathing Stations & Wall Panel Sub Component Stations
October Automated Saws, High End
November Automated Saws, Low End
