Last fall, I had the chance to catch up with many of my peers at BCMC Omaha, and now I’m pleased to say Hello to an even wider audience. As an Industrial Engineer with 3 decades’ experience in PreFab, I am eager to share our innovative solutions to continue to help move our industry forward.
AMT Robotics was founded in 2020 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Our journey began with the development and manufacturing of a custom automated wall sheathing station. Since then, we’ve developed and installed a line of equipment for the manufacturing of prefabricated wood wall panels and have undertaken a variety of custom automation projects for industrial customers.
At BCMC, we showcased our Datum Squaring Table, which is the building block of our wall panel production line. It can be configured for Framing, Insulating, Tacking, and Sheathing Stations, and integrates with other AMT Robotics equipment including the HyperLeap Sheathing Bridge, Gluing Bridge, and Panel Flipping Material Handling Station.
Two features that set the AMT Datum Table apart from other squaring tables are our patent pending multi-panel staging and auto-squaring which work together to eliminate lost production time between panels and reduce the required space and investment cost of the overall line. Lifters maintain a panel’s location by raising it slightly above the wide slatted power conveyor. Upstream panels can continue to move down the line on powered conveyors and occupy unused areas as buffer zones. The result is faster cycle times due to less waiting for other stations on the line and less time spent moving panels from station to station. Eliminating extra stations for buffer zones also shortens the line, improves operator efficiency, saves floor space, and reduces the initial cost of the line. Combining an AMT Squaring Table equipped with auto-squaring and the AMT HyperLeap Bridge creates a fully autonomous Sheathing Station with unmatched cycle times.
We love engaging with our customers to deliver the right level of automation for each unique situation. Reach out when you are ready to talk more, and in the meantime check us out on LinkedIn, YouTube, and amtrobotics.com.
