The increased acceleration of city infill and the popularity of apartments is creating the opportunity for frame and truss manufacturing to expand into mid-rise construction, an important growth area for the industry. However, with expansion comes a greater emphasis on quality manufacturing, high productivity, safety, and repeatability. To enter this area of growth, truss and frame plants will have to pay more attention to quality, precision, and profitability. The best way to achieve this – the use of state-of-the-art innovation and technology – in other words, investing in automated manufacturing systems.
Automation has clear benefits in terms of increased safety, labor savings, increased productivity, and reduced waste, which all have a positive effect on your bottom line. Vekta Automation, located in Minnesota, is committed to manufacturing innovative products specifically designed to automate various processes in truss and frame plants – maximizing safety, improving production, and helping the business grow.
The first core value of Vekta is safety – and that is exactly what the Vekta Stakpro system delivers – eliminating the risk of manual handling injuries, reducing staff fatigue, all the while increasing the speed and efficiency of your production. With the Stakpro system, a single operator can safely lift any size truss or frame from the jig or conveyor line and transfer it to a stack, leaving other operators free to continue working. The Stakpro Frame can be fitted to the end of production lines and set up to handle various frame sizes.
Vekta’s Stakpro product line provides a safer and more efficient way of truss and frame stacking. We’ve recently expanded this line which now includes the Smart Conveyor Roller Line and the Truss Transfer System. By working together – all three components have the ability to track and handle a finished product in a variety of modes, ensuring minimal human effort on the stacking line.
