ABSTRACT:
An assembly machine for embedding connector plates in wooden structural members includes a plurality of work stations which can be adjustably positioned along a support frame. Each work station includes a table having a work support surface and an upright C-shaped frame member balanced on a pneumatically operated cylinder and movable upward relative to the table. The frame member supports a lower platen at a rest position slightly below the work support surface and an upper platen movable downward toward the lower platen by a hydraulic power cylinder. Upon actuation of the hydraulic power cylinder, the upper platen is pressed downward into engagement with an upper connector plate on top of the wooden structural members and the lower platen is raised relative to the work table to press a lower connector plate upward against the wooden members. The upper and lower platens apply uniformly distributed forces to the connector plates which are firmly embedded in opposite sides of the wooden members.
