ABSTRACT:
A machine and method are provided for manufacturing corner posts for protecting products loaded onto pallets, and to provide structural support to permit loaded pallets to be stacked one upon another. The machine includes a continuously moving conveyor which moves a pair of boards from a pick-up station, through a fastening station and to a drop-off station. The boards are stapled or nailed together on the fly by a pneumatic gun which is periodically activated to install a series of staples or nails into the overlapped boards. A hopper holds the individual boards and drops them onto an inverted V-shaped support track through which the conveyor moves. The boards are ramped into overlapping engagement with one another and then stapled or nailed together as they move continuously along the support track.
