ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for fabricating a truss including a plurality of truss components and nailers having projections for engaging the truss components at the ends thereof to form a joint. The present invention includes moving a table from a horizontal position to an inclined position and loading a plurality of nailers and truss components in a predetermined configuration upon a support fixture supported by the table. The present invention includes moving the table to the horizontal position and slidably moving the support fixture from the table to a space between an upper press platen and a lower press platen of a press. The present invention further includes moving the upper press platen towards the lower press platen to advance the projections of the nailers simultaneously into the truss components to form an integral one-piece truss.
