For seven consecutive decades, Triad wall panel and component nailing machines have led the industry in meeting the demands and needs of builders in the United States, Canada, and around the world. Today, Triad continues to meet the ever-growing needs of today’s builders by providing machinery and production systems that lower labor costs, give higher production and productivity, control material costs, and produce high-quality finished products while utilizing the latest state-of-the-art engineering and decades of proven reliability and experience.

At BCMC 2024, Triad’s National Sales Manager Lowell Tuma (center of photo) and additional Triad reps were on site to answer builders’ questions about everything our company has to offer.
Interest was high on both days of the BCMC Show for Triad’s “Patent Pending” Ai Subcomponent Assembler, a machine that can recognize what it needs to build, just by looking at input lumber.
Importantly, the operator doesn’t waste time telling the machine what kind of sub-component is being built, or what size lumber is being used, or what nail pattern to utilize once the machine is trained. Component type and size are automatically determined by the Ai algorithm. The builder’s stored nailing preferences are executed for each type of subcomponent. The material is fed through automatically, allowing the operator to prepare the next sub-component. When finished, the component may exit one of three ways and is user configured.
A mighty machine with a small footprint, the Ai Subcomponent Assembler is a hard worker. Shown from one of our demonstrations is Triad Machine expert Bill Beck removing a finished header from an off-feed area.
Triad’s Ai Subcomponent Assembler can recognize the lumber’s dimensions from 2x4 to 2x12, so there’s no slowing down for simple decisions.
What’s more, the Ai Subcomponent Assembler is designed to assemble all standard wall sub-components including headers, jacks, corners, tees, els, beam pockets, and stud-packs. It is suitable for component widths between 3” and 14 7/8”, heights of 3 ½” to 12”, and lengths of 12” to 16’.
But that’s not all that Triad brought to the show. In addition to demonstrating the Ai Subcomponent Assembler, continuously rotating videos were displayed on two monitors, showing Triad Machines equipment for wood studs, steel studs, modular plants, and the Professional Stair Shop.
With apologies to the movie “JAWS” – we started thinking that “We’re going to need a Bigger Booth!” given the number of attendees we saw on site.
So, thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with us at BCMC 2024! If you were unable to see us at the show, please reach out to us now. We’d love the opportunity to tell you more about what Triad has to offer your company.
