ABSTRACT:
A system for fabricating frame structures having wood chords and web components connected by toothed plates on opposite sides of each joint, wherein an elongated rectangular bed is provided on which to assemble and connect the components, longitudinal rows of conveyor rolls bring the chords forwardly and transfer means move them laterally to areas at the ends of the bed, and the web components are delivered to the sides of the bed. Transfer means are provided to convey the web components laterally onto the bed where jig means hold the chords and web components on the bed in position for assembly with toothed plates on the top and bottom of each joint, gantry pinch rolls are passed over the bed longitudinally to set the plates, transfer means convey the frame structures laterally outward from the bed onto longitudinal rows of conveyor rolls which convey them rearwardly through stationary pinch rolls to fully embed the toothed plates and then deliver the finished structures to a storage area where they are transferred laterally and stacked.
