The H&M X-Frame Automatic Timber Frame Assembly Station is a high-quality, heavy duty automatic squaring and nailing station for timber frame panel wall manufacturing.
Panel Assembly
The Automatic Timber Frame Assembly Station ensures the panel is held square and secure during the assembly and nailing of the studs and components. Controlled by a single operator, the components of the panel can be manually positioned at a safe working position in the centre of the panel. The panel is then assembled in a step by step process. The position of the studs and sub-components are set by the automatic positioning of the locating arms. The positioning of the nail guns, the number of nails to be fired into each stud and the locating arms are all controlled by the on board CNC control unit.
Control Unit
All the necessary processing information for the machine is taken from the drawing software via our interface. This interface can be used to schedule the required panel manufacturing sequence by the production controller, eliminating any operator input. The panel drawing is displayed on the screen whilst the assembly of the panel is taking place, with the relevant component highlighted. Full control of the drawing, including zoom and pan functions are available.
The operator can manually override the automatic sequence at any time to enable single sided nailing of twisted timber, as well as opening and closing the tables to insert difficult sub frames and then return to the automatic sequence.
