ABSTRACT:
Laterally spaced apart longitudinal frame mebmers are advanced to a frame assembly station by infeed drive units. Transverse frame members are advanced to the frame assembly table by laterally disposed sweep platforms and by diverter tables disposed above the frame assembly station. Automatic nailing assemblies on opposite lateral sides of the assembly table drive nails into the longitudinal frame members and transverse members disposed therebetween. Positioning of the transverse members is effected by computer controlled, reciprocative, joist-engaging stops downstream of the frame assembly table. Laterally spaced apart guide rails carry the frame workpiece to a glue-applying station equipped with a laterally movable nozzle and a pair of laterally spaced apart stationary nozzles. A frame indexer disposed below the glue-applying station advances and positions the workpiece under a sheet-placing station. The sheet placer positions the covering material so that abutting edges of adjacent sheets are disposed over the selected transverse frame members. An assembly indexer advances the frame and sheet material assembly to a sheet-fastening station and holds the transverse member bearing the abutting edge portions of the sheet material against reciprocative stops mounted in the base of the sheet nailing assembly. Vertically reciprocative nailing chucks are disposed above the workpiece in side-by-side pairs to position nails on the abutting edge portions of the sheet material. Associative reciprocative drive means force the nails into the sheet material and the selected transverse frame member disposed therebelow.
