TCT - Leading the Automation Revolution With the TCT Robotic Truss Assembly System - Gives You the Future Now

摘要

Engaging in work like dedicated futurists, Jim Urmson, inventor, and the TCT team has brought the future of truss fabrication here today.rnQuite literally hundreds of interested observers from the component industry crowded the TCT booth in Columbus, OH at the BCMC last month to view the live performance of a small robot picking up parts and assembling them into the shape of a truss. The robot did it time after time, and in between times, spelled out 'TCT' with other wood parts; then stacked them all in storage and started all over again. The crowd was not only fascinated but they were obviously getting a look at tomorrow's truss fabrication plants today. Frequently Asked Questions:rnQuestion #1 - Why use robots to produce trusses? Can robots really do this kind of work? It had to happen. Robotics truss assembly has been talked about for years. But how to go about it has always been the question. Some tried several years ago to use robots to feed a component saw but ended up abandoning the idea. Some even spent significant time researching a way to do a "lights out plant" but no one up until now has come up with a practical way to fully automate truss assembly.
